How to Cut a Cigar | Simple Tutorial with Kirby Allison

Рет қаралды 109,243

Күн бұрын

In today's video Kirby Allison shows you the easy but important method of how to cut a cigar. It may sound simple, and in reality it is, but all too often we hear of people doing it wrong, and ending up damaging their cigar, or ruining the enjoyment of the process of smoking that cigar. You can avoid all of the potential pitfalls with just a few simple guidelines to help lead you through the process.
The main things to remember are:
1. A good cigar cutter - Ideally a double guillotine with sharp blades
2. Find the line of the shoulder of the cigar - Never cut past it!
3. Take your time - Better to make sure you are in the right place before cutting
4. A short sharp cut - A firm quick cut ensures a straighter cut with less frayed edges.

Mr. Allison, it is such a joy to discover your channel. I own and operate a small upscale men's accessories shop in Poulsbo, Washington, just about 30 miles west of Seattle on Puget Sound. Being a purveyor of fine cigars and hand blended pipe tobacco I find your video on proper lighting technique. quite rewarding and entertaining. I was last in Davidoff's spectacular London shop back in 1985 and it is wonderful to see the "how to light a cigar" video and to see you interact with those wonderfully classy gentlemen. I have always tried to emphasize to my cigar clientele that patience is indeed a key ingredient in lighting a fine cigar and, as you experienced that patience will be greatly rewarded when you take that virgin puff.

Another great video and tutorial Kirby. I recently purchased the Donatus “Big Cut” cigar scissors as it allows me greater control over where I cut the cigar for more precision. I find it’s easier to see exactly where I’m cutting than with a guillotine cutter. And as these cigar scissors are made in Solingen, Germany, I know they represent the quality, craftsmanship, and tradition you always speak of. It took a while for me to locate a pair as I’m not sure if these are still being produced, but I’m really glad I was able. Highly recommended.

Good idea indeed..he's certainly covered far smaller/ less universal tasks, a gentleman's haircut seems very appropriate to everyone in line with his shaving tutorial videos, but not enough to take him into the world of YT men's self care channels "rabbit hole"... Cheers

I have the same cutter by Dupont. Only mine has the Cohiba 5 logo on the blade. What do you think about it? I only use mine on occassions as I find it very heavy. Nice to have the stand however.

My boss was gonna throw out a whole box of cigars so I ended up with a bunch of Cohibas and Guantanamera. In perfect condition. New to cigars but I'm enjoying them. Thank you for helping me learn to cut them. It was silly he was just mad because we are cleaning are business for a buyout and didn't wanna deal with it so I got a bunch of free stuff he was just going to toss away.

You should take the cigar to the mouth before cutting so it gets the leave just a bit wet.

It’s all about the apparatus and technique employed, not to mention location. Snorting a badly chopped ‘line’ off your house key or the toilet cistern in a grotty pub simply won’t do. Invest in some fine gentleman’s sniffing tools and frequent more salubrious, members only establishments.
