Cigar Cutting 101 - In Pictures -

And lastly is the punch. Mine is made by Donatus Solingen - it contains two sizes of cutters. You simply twist the end cap to get whatever size that you need.

I grasp and cradle the cigar in my left hand, and using my thumb as a guide, position the cutter against it.

Once I get it where I want it then it's a simple twist. I normally go clockwise with slight pressure as it cuts into it. With a little practice you can feel when it goes throught the cap.

Once through the cap, a slight wiggle and the cut part simply falls right on out.

And there ya go. I'm sure everyone has a favorite cutter and technique - but those are mine.

Good luck with it all!
