A twin-blade guillotine cigar cutter in a moulded black plastic body, with an oval finger loop at each end. Two blades close on the cap from opposite sides at the same time, which is what stops the cap tearing — a single blade pushes the cigar sideways as it cuts, and that is where a ragged cap comes from.
Specifications
-

-
Body: Moulded plastic, matte black
-
Grip: Finger loop at each end
-
Cut type: Straight guillotine
Using it
Seat the cap in the aperture, take the two loops between finger and thumb, and close in one movement rather than squeezing gradually. Wipe the blades dry after use; the body is plastic and the blades are steel, so it is the steel that will mark if it is put away damp.
Who it suits
A pocket or travel cutter, or a spare for the desk drawer. The plastic body keeps the weight and the price down against a metal-bodied cutter.
