Visol Cigar Cutter Pocket Ashtray

Sigmund Freud once said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Any self-respecting cigar smoker, however, will tell you that a cigar is far less a cigar when the rectify arts are not employed to the preparation of the cigar and the execution of the act itself. The primary act in the ritual is cutting the cigar cap, and the best way to do this is with a table top cigar cutter. The cap is the part that you put in your mouth. It is formed by the outer wrapper leaves twisted down over the end of the cigar to stop it from falling apart. It will have to be cut clean so you may draw the full flavor and aroma from the cigar.

I Cut, I Cut!

There are a number of tools for cutting cigars, from special little scissors to small, pocket-sized double or single-bladed guillotines. But for the unfeigned cigar connoisseur who needs a straight clean precise cut or for someone who just wants to show off, the only way to go is a table top cigar cutter. A table top cigar cutter is not portable and is the height of ostentatious living.

Look Sharp – Literally!

You wouldn’t believe, it but there are actually three dissimilar ways of cutting the cap. One is to merely lop a hole through it with a specially designed punch. The second option is to use a little guillotine which cuts straight through. Or, you could use a wedge out of the cap. The third way is to do it in style with a table top cigar cutter. A table top cigar cutter is fitted with a range of surgical steel blades for a range of dissimilar cuts and cigars sizes. Why the need for a surgical steel? Well, the cigar gets it is full flavour and aroma flowing when the cap is cut as cleanly and neatly as possible. A clean and neat cut is one where the cigar isn’t squashed or there are no straggling ends of the tobacco. Finely honed, razor sharp hardened surgical steel unquestionably ensures the cleanest cut.

While the more popular “push-down” table top cigar cutter relies on a double guillotine blade, the more luxurious model of table top cigar cutter features a lever attached to a barrel-type system. This lever rotates a complex scheme of razor sharp blades, which converge upon the unsuspecting but thankful cigar. This type of table top cigar cutter also showcases a range of size setting, which grant for clean slicing of cigars of all sizes.

Worthy of Mario Puzo

Those of you who imagination yourselves as aspiring Mafioso will likewise be grateful for the “intimidation” element or the “godfather” impression devised by the table top cigar cutter. Watch as guests or nervous workers sitting in your office start out to sweat as you sharply and quickly fetch the blade down on a thumb-sized, premium, hand-rolled Cuban. Offer it to them just to see how much they are still trembling. So even if you’re smoke-free, a table top cigar cutter may be just the trick for scaring your laborers into subservience.

You get what you compensate for
By S. Seale
This cutter is cheap to buy and it is build quality reflects incisively that. The sample I received included blades that were not specially sharp, and had so much play that the blades tended to ‘nick’ each other when the cutter was opened and closed. Since the blades were not particuilarly sharp, they tended to unnecessarily ‘mash’ the cigar before they begun to cut, and the cut itself was comparatively rough. At this item’s price you can’t complain too much, but just be conscious that you may not get a cutter with which you will be happy.

solid feel, rubber grips
By J. L. Morton
looks and feels solid. very happy with it. very loose closing and opening of the blades, fast action. i don’t know if a cutter is supposed to do that. i would like to find one w/ smoother action, but possibly that’s on the higher end ones. very happy for price though.
