✂️ + 📍 Napoleon Guillotine & Punch — 2 cutting methods in 1 accessory
Guillotine — straight cut
Opens the entire cap of the cigar — wide and ample draw. Ideal for all straight formats (Robusto, Corona, Churchill, Toro). The most universal method.
Punch — central perforation
Creates a precise draw channel while keeping the wrapper intact. Ideal for cigars with a round cap (Torpedo, Piramides) or for a more concentrated and aromatic draw.
Guillotine or punch — how to choose according to your cigar?
| Criterion | Guillotine | Punch |
|---|---|---|
| Opening type | Entire cap — wide draw | Central perforation — concentrated draw |
| Wrapper preserved | No — wrapper cut | ✅ Yes — intact |
| Straight cigars (Robusto, Corona) | ✅ Ideal | ✅ Good |
| Figurados (Torpedo, Piramides) | Possible with care | ✅ Ideal |
| Aromatic intensity | Standard | More concentrated — narrow channel |
How to use both functions?
1
Guillotine — locate the cutting line: 2 to 3 mm below the cigar cap, where the wrapper begins to curve. Insert the cap, cut with a quick, decisive motion — do not saw.
2
Punch — deploy the punch: slide the retractable punch out from the side of the cigar cutter. Position it in the center of the cigar cap and punch with a steady rotating motion to a depth of 1 to 1.5 cm.
3
Check the draw: lightly puff on the cigar before lighting. The draw should be smooth. If too resistant with the guillotine, remove an additional 1 mm. If too resistant with the punch, punch slightly deeper.
4
Stow the punch: fold the punch back into its housing on the side before slipping the cigar cutter into your pocket. The tip is concealed — no risk of cutting.
When to choose the punch over the guillotine? For cigars with fragile wrappers (Natural Connecticut, Claro) or for Torpedo and Piramides with pointed caps — the punch preserves the wrapper intact and prevents crumbling. It also provides a slightly more concentrated draw, appreciated on Maduro cigars to intensify chocolate notes.
Ring gauge limit: This cigar cutter accommodates cigars up to 23 mm in diameter (ring gauge 57). Gordos (ring gauge 60+) exceed this limit — in this case, opt for a larger diameter cigar cutter or use the punch alone, which has no ring gauge limit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a guillotine and a punch?
A guillotine cuts the entire cigar cap — it opens a wide surface for an ample draw and is universal for all formats. A punch creates a central channel while preserving the wrapper intact — it gives a more concentrated draw and is ideal for Torpedo, Piramides, or connoisseurs who want to preserve the shape of their cigar.
Is the punch suitable for Gordo (ring gauge 60+)?
Yes — the punch has no ring gauge limit as it perforates the center of the cap regardless of the diameter. Only the guillotine is limited to ring gauge 57 (23 mm). For a Gordo, use the punch or perforate twice slightly offset for a more ample draw.
How do I maintain the guillotine & punch cigar cutter?
Wipe the blade and punch tip with a dry cloth after each use. Accumulated wrapper and tobacco residues reduce sharpness over time. Stainless steel does not rust — minimal maintenance is sufficient for years of service.
Is the punch secure when retracted?
Yes — the retractable punch stores in its housing on the side of the cigar cutter. The tip is fully concealed when retracted — no risk of cutting in a pocket or cigar case.
Is this 2-in-1 cigar cutter a good gift for a cigar enthusiast?
It is one of the most practical gifts — guillotine and punch in a single compact item, delivered in a Collection case. The enthusiast can choose their preferred method depending on the cigar of the moment, without having to carry two separate accessories.
