It is necessary to cut or clip the closed end, or head, of a handmade cigar prior to lighting. There are many different types of cutters. We recommend a guillotine cutter, as it is easy to use, makes a clean cut, and is relatively inexpensive. However, the type of cutter that you use is your personal preference. Other types include the v-cutter, which takes a thin wedge from the center of a cigar, a corer or "bullet" cutter, which removes a circular section from the center of the cigars cap, and a "piercer", which is used to poke 3 to 4 small holes in the head of the cigar to allow for the draft.
