Dark Wood & Steel
Delivered in a Gift Box
The Wood Original Cigar Cutter features a triangular teardrop shape that immediately distinguishes it from standard rectangular guillotine cutters. Its body made of dark reddish-brown wood—dense and patinated—holds a sharp stainless steel guillotine blade and a golden rivet that elegantly secures the assembly. The wood inlay improves grip, absorbs micro-vibrations from the cut, and offers a balance that metal alone cannot achieve. Maximum cigar diameter: 20 mm. Dimensions: 7.8 × 5.8 × 1 cm. Delivered in a black gift box with gold trim.

🪵 Dark wood + stainless steel — why this marriage works
The vast majority of cigar cutters choose one or the other: metal for durability, plastic for economy. The Wood Original combines a body made of dense dark wood—naturally resistant to shocks and deformation—and a sharp anti-corrosion stainless steel blade. This combination is not just aesthetic.
The wood absorbs micro-vibrations transmitted by the blade during cutting—where metal would send them back into the fingers, wood dampens them. It also offers a natural balance: heavier than plastic, less cold than steel. Its triangular teardrop shape allows a grip between the thumb and forefinger that naturally centers the cutting force. The golden rivet that secures the assembly is the visual signature of this artisanal object.

Dark wood & steel — craftsmanship for the perfect cut
The Wood Original is one of the few cigar cutters designed to be both an object to hold and to use. Its triangular teardrop shape is immediately recognizable among the rectangular tools that dominate the market. Placed on a table, it is displayed—an accessory that is noticed before being used.
Its dense dark wood develops a unique patina over time for each owner. The golden rivet that joins the wood and steel is the artisanal detail that reveals the care taken in its design. It's not just another tool in a collection—it's an object that you keep, recognize, and choose.
Usage — 4 steps
1
Check diameter: ensure that the cigar to be cut has a diameter less than or equal to 20 mm (approximately 51 ring gauge). Gordo cigars with a 60 ring gauge (∅ 23.8 mm) exceed the capacity of the Wood Original — use a larger diameter cigar cutter for these sizes.
2
Grip: hold the Wood Original between your thumb and forefinger, with the wood in your palm. The triangular teardrop shape naturally centers the pressure towards the blade. Open the blade with your thumb.
3
Cut: position the cigar head in the opening — center the cut between 2 and 4 mm from the wrapper's edge, depending on the size. Close with a firm and steady motion. The sharp stainless steel blade makes a clean cut without tearing.
4
Maintenance: wipe the blade with a dry cloth after use. For the wooden body, avoid water and prolonged moisture, which can deform or dull the wood. Light maintenance with a natural wax preserves the deep reddish-brown luster of the wood long-term.

20 mm diameter — what sizes are compatible? The maximum diameter of 20 mm corresponds to a ring gauge of approximately 51. Compatible sizes include: Corona (ring gauge 40–42 · ∅ 15.9–16.7 mm), Panatela (ring gauge 35–38 · ∅ 13.9–15.1 mm), Demi-Tasse (ring gauge 30–38), Lancero (ring gauge 38), standard Churchill (ring gauge 47 · ∅ 18.7 mm). Robusto ring gauge 50 (∅ 19.8 mm) will fit, but barely. Toro ring gauge 52+ and Gordo sizes exceed the capacity—use a larger diameter cutter.
Dark wood maintenance: the wooden body of the Wood Original can become dull or deform if exposed to moisture for prolonged periods. Wipe it with a dry cloth after each use. For semi-annual maintenance, apply a natural wood wax (beeswax or teak oil) with a soft cloth—this nourishes the wood and maintains its deep reddish-brown color. Store the Wood Original in its box between uses to protect it.

20 mm diameter limit: The Wood Original is calibrated for cigars up to 20 mm in diameter (approx. 51 ring gauge). Forcing a Robusto cigar (52+ ring gauge) or a Gordo cigar (60 ring gauge) into the opening risks damaging the blade and tearing the cigar wrapper. For larger sizes, use a larger diameter cigar cutter. Do not immerse in water—wood can swell and deform.

Frequently asked questions
What cigar diameter does the Wood Original accept?
The Wood Original accepts cigars up to 20 mm in diameter, which is approximately a 51 ring gauge. Compatible sizes include: Corona (40–42 ring gauge), thin Panatela, Demi-Tasse, Lancero (38 ring gauge), standard Churchill (47 ring gauge · ∅ 18.7 mm). Robusto cigars with a 50 ring gauge (∅ 19.8 mm) will fit, but barely. Toro cigars with a 52+ ring gauge and Gordo cigars with a 60 ring gauge exceed the capacity — use a larger diameter cigar cutter for these sizes.
Is the wood inlay functional or just decorative?
Both. The dense dark wood of the body serves a concrete mechanical function: it absorbs the micro-vibrations transmitted by the blade during cutting, whereas an entirely metal body would transfer them back to the fingers. It also offers a more pleasant natural balance than metal alone. Its triangular teardrop shape instinctively guides the grip. Aesthetically, it develops a unique patina for each owner over time — something metal cannot do.
How do I care for the wooden part of the Wood Original?
Wipe the wooden body with a dry cloth after each use — avoid water and prolonged moisture, which can deform the wood or dull its color. For semi-annual maintenance, apply a thin layer of natural wood wax (beeswax or teak oil) with a soft cloth. Store the Wood Original in its black gift box with gold trim between uses to protect it. The stainless steel blade can be cleaned with a simple dry cloth after each cut.
Does the Wood Original come in a gift box?
Yes — each Wood Original is delivered in its black gift box with gold trim, ready to be gifted without additional packaging. The box showcases the item and allows for safe storage and transport. This is one of the elements that makes the Wood Original a complete cigar gift upon receipt — nothing to add, nothing to wrap.
Does the blade dull over time? How do I maintain it?
The sharp stainless steel blade maintains its edge long-term, provided it is properly cared for. Wipe it with a dry cloth after each use — wet tobacco residue can slightly oxidize even stainless steel if left in prolonged contact. If it dulls after intensive use, a light sharpening on a fine stone (800–1000 grit) will restore the edge. Avoid immersion in water.
Can Robusto or Toro cigars be cut with the Wood Original?
Robusto cigars with a 50 ring gauge (∅ 19.8 mm) are at the limit of the 20 mm maximum diameter — they are technically compatible but with little margin. To avoid forcing, check the exact diameter of your Robusto before cutting. Toro cigars with a 52 ring gauge (∅ 20.6 mm) and larger exceed the capacity — do not force them, as this risks damaging the blade. For Toro, Gordo, and large sizes, opt for a larger diameter cigar cutter.
Is the Wood Original a good gift for a cigar lover?
The Wood Original is one of the most popular cigar gifts among connoisseurs who appreciate noble materials: dark brownish-red wood in a teardrop shape, sharp anti-corrosion stainless steel blade, gold rivet, and an included black case with a gold trim. It's a distinctive item that immediately sets itself apart from standard metal cigar cutters. Paired with a torch lighter, it forms a complete and memorable gift duo for a birthday, Father's Day, or retirement party.
