3-in-1 CircularStainless Steel
The Modern Edition Circular Cigar Cutter brings together three rarely combined functions in a single compact object: a double stainless steel guillotine blade and two screw-in 8 mm and 10 mm punches housed in the side caps. Its 62 mm diameter circular shape offers a natural grip and a balance distinct from classic rectangular cigar cutters. Available in three modern finishes — Matte Black, Urban Bronze, and Smoked Chrome. 62 × 62 × 15 mm.
Double guillotine + double punch — three tools in one
The Modern Edition Circular Cutter concentrates three functions into a 62 mm disc. The double stainless steel guillotine blade delivers a clean, precise cut across the entire circumference of the cap — the double blade reduces crushing of the wrapper and ensures a clean cut even on thick-wrapper Gordo formats.
The two screw-in punches housed in the side caps provide an alternative to the guillotine cut: the ∅ 8 mm punch is suitable for Robusto and Churchill formats for a fine, concentrated draw; the ∅ 10 mm punch is adapted for large ring gauges. Simply unscrew the corresponding cap to access the punch — there are no extra tools to carry.

Circular, double blade, double punch — the 3-in-1 cigar cutter
The vast majority of cigar cutters make a single choice: guillotine or punch. The Modern Edition Circular Cutter refuses this compromise. Its double guillotine blade ensures a clean cut for those who prefer maximum opening. Its two punches of different diameters, screwed into the side caps, offer the alternative — without an additional accessory, without searching through a kit.
Its circular shape is not an aesthetic whim — it allows the blade to act uniformly over 360° of the cigar head, reducing cutting irregularities. In Matte Black, Urban Bronze, or Smoked Chrome, it naturally pairs with the lighters and cases in the collection.
Usage — 4 steps
1
Choose the cutting mode: decide between the guillotine cut (wide opening, ample draw) or the punch cut (concentrated circular opening, more precise draw). The guillotine cut is suitable for all formats; the ∅ 8 mm punch is preferable for thin formats, the ∅ 10 mm for large ring gauges.
2
Guillotine cut: open the blade and position the cigar head in the circular opening. Center the cut on the edge of the wrapper — between 2 and 4 mm from the head depending on the format. Close with a firm, steady motion.
3
Punch cut: unscrew the side cap corresponding to the desired diameter (∅ 8 mm or ∅ 10 mm). Place the punch on the center of the cigar head and press down while turning slightly for a clean perforation. Screw the cap back on after use.
4
Maintenance: wipe the blades with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid prolonged moisture on the stainless steel blades. If the blades become dull through intensive use, sharpening on a fine-grit stone restores the edge.

Guillotine vs punch — which mode to choose? The guillotine cut opens the entire surface of the head — ample draw, full flavors, ideal for mild to medium cigars. The punch cut creates a concentrated circular opening — tighter and more precise draw, concentrates flavors, preferable for strong cigars where you want to regulate the draw. On the same cigar, the choice between guillotine and punch significantly changes the tasting experience.
∅ 8 mm vs ∅ 10 mm punch — which to use? The ∅ 8 mm punch is suitable for thin formats with a 42–50 ring gauge and for those seeking a very concentrated draw. The ∅ 10 mm punch is adapted to large ring gauges of 52+ and offers a more generous draw while remaining more concentrated than a guillotine. On Torpedo and Piramides, the punch must be carefully centered on the tapered tip.

Stainless steel blade maintenance: wipe the blades after each use with a dry cloth — tobacco residue sticks quickly and can affect the sharpness of the cut. Avoid immersion in water, which can oxidize internal parts. For Urban Bronze and Smoked Chrome finishes, a soft microfiber cloth removes fingerprints without scratching the surface. The Matte Black finish is less resistant to polishing products — dry cloth only.
Cigar gift — the 3-in-1 accessory
The Modern Edition Circular Cigar Cutter is one of the most original cigar gift ideas for an enthusiast who is already equipped: distinctive circular shape, double stainless steel guillotine, integrated ∅ 8 mm and ∅ 10 mm punches, three finishes to choose from, delivered in a case. A single accessory that replaces three distinct tools.
Ideal for a birthday, Father's Day, or corporate gift. Choose the finish according to the recipient's preferences — Matte Black for the minimalist, Urban Bronze for the classic, Smoked Chrome for the elegant. Paired with a torch lighter, it's a complete gift duo.
The two punches are screwed into the side caps of the disc — one cap on each side. To access the desired punch (∅ 8 mm or ∅ 10 mm), simply unscrew the corresponding cap by turning it counter-clockwise. The punch is integrated into the cap — remove the cap to use the punch, and screw it back on after use to store it. No additional tools are required.
What is the difference between the ∅ 8 mm and ∅ 10 mm punch?
The ∅ 8 mm punch creates a smaller circular perforation — concentrated and precise draw, ideal for thin formats (42–50 ring gauge) or for those who prefer to regulate the intensity of flavors. The ∅ 10 mm punch offers a wider perforation — more generous draw while remaining more concentrated than a guillotine cut, adapted for large ring gauges (52+). The choice between the two depends on the cigar format and your draw preference.
Does the circular cigar cutter work with all formats?
Yes — the double guillotine is compatible with all common cigar formats: Robusto, Corona, Churchill, Toro, Torpedo, Gordo. The 62 mm diameter circular opening accommodates formats up to 70+ ring gauge. For Torpedo and Piramide formats with a tapered head, the guillotine is applied at the desired height; the punch must be carefully centered on the tip. For very short formats (Petit Corona, Demi-Tasse), the compact size of the disc facilitates one-handed handling.
Which finish should I choose — Matte Black, Urban Bronze, or Smoked Chrome?
All three finishes offer the same functionality — the choice is purely aesthetic and personal. Matte Black is the most discreet and contemporary — matches all accessories, does not pick up fingerprints. Urban Bronze (warm gold tone) is the most distinctive — pairs naturally with gold-finished lighters and accessories. Smoked Chrome (brushed silver) is the most understated and versatile — timeless, compatible with all silver or brushed metal finishes.
How do I maintain the blades so they stay sharp?
Wipe the stainless steel blades with a dry cloth after each use — damp tobacco residue sticks quickly and dulls the edge. Avoid immersion in water. For thorough maintenance, a light sharpening on a fine-grit stone (600–1000 grit) restores the edge on both blades simultaneously. The punches are maintained in the same way — dry wipe after use.
Is the guillotine better than the punch for strong cigars?
There is no universal answer — it is a question of preference and format. The guillotine opens the entire surface of the head, allowing for an ample draw and full flavors — some strong cigar enthusiasts prefer it for the intensity. The punch concentrates the draw on a small circular surface — it regulates the intensity and can soften the most aggressive notes on very strong cigars. The Circular Cutter allows you to test both on the same cigar and choose according to your mood.
Is the Modern Edition Circular Cigar Cutter a good gift for an enthusiast?
The Modern Edition Circular Cigar Cutter is a particularly relevant cigar gift for an enthusiast who is already equipped: distinctive circular shape, double stainless steel guillotine, ∅ 8 mm and ∅ 10 mm punches integrated into the side caps, three finishes to choose from, delivered in a case. A single object that replaces three distinct tools — the accessory that the enthusiast probably doesn't have yet. Paired with a torch lighter, it's a complete and memorable gift duo.
