The object of cutting your cigar is to create an ample, clean cut and smooth opening for drawing on your cigar.  Why?  Cutting your cigars correctly means you will have a better drawing, better tasting cigar that will burn evenly.  Simply cut about 2 mm off the head of the cigar to avoid unraveling.  Cutters with self sharpening Double Guillotine blades are better than a single blade cigar cutter.  It will maximize comfort and give you that perfect cut every time.

Another option is that you can use a cigar punch. This tool is also a great way to give you a perfect draw hole every time.  Take your cigar and make the tip (head) of the cigar damp.  Take the punch and slowly screw it side to side until you see 2mm of the punch inside the head.  Pull the punch out and you should have a perfect draw hole.
