TIPS: Cigar Cutter Trick

Chances are you have been in a rush, in conversation or just careless when cutting your cigar and you've cut too little or too much cap off your cigar.

Let's be honest, it happens occasionally! Never fear, use this quick tip for the perfect cut if you are ever in doubt or want to show a newbie the insiders trick!  

  1. Take your XIKAR cutter in the open position and lay it on a flat surface, trigger button up. 
  2. Set your cigar cap-down on the table in the center of the open cutter space (don't push down, but hold gently).
  3. Snap the cutter closed to get a perfect cut!
