Everything you need to know

The Dragon Town Desk Cigar Cutter is a stainless steel horological cube that integrates three different types of cuts on three distinct faces of the cube—you simply rotate the cube to use the desired cut. Face 1: 26 mm straight cut (for large ring gauges like Gordo, Churchill). Face 2: 22 mm straight cut (for classic formats like Robusto, Toro, Corona). Face 3: V-cut (V-shaped notch that concentrates aromas and reduces loose tobacco in the mouth). Each face features its own circular opening and its own semi-automatic press-to-open mechanism that raises the blades when you press the top lid—an elegant, precise, and theatrical gesture that transforms the cut into a ritual moment. Compact and heavy format: 78 × 78 × 83 mm for 800 grams of solid stainless steel that anchors the cigar cutter to the desk without slipping during the cut. The bottom base easily detaches to empty accumulated cut residue (wrapper scraps, tobacco strands)—quick maintenance in a few seconds. A stylized dragon engraving adorns the V-blade and gives its name to this object: Dragon Town pays homage to the Chinese tradition of the imperial dragon, a symbol of power, wisdom, and luck. Available in 4 colors: Anthracite, Imperial Yellow, Empire Green, Lacquer Red. Stainless Steel 3 Different Cuts

Why 3 different cuts on 3 faces of the cube?

The ring gauge (diameter) of cigars varies considerably depending on the chosen format. Classic formats (Robusto, Toro, Corona, Lonsdale) have a ring gauge between 40 and 52, or approximately 16 to 21 mm. Gordo, Churchill, Double Corona formats have gauges higher than 52 and can exceed 26 mm. A single-blade cigar cutter therefore forces a compromise on either large gauges (incomplete cut, tearing of the wrapper) or thin gauges (cut too wide, which opens the head too much).

The Dragon Town resolves this limitation through a unique cubic architecture that dedicates an entire face of the cube to each type of cut. 26 mm face: accommodates all large gauges without constraint. 22 mm face: sized for the classic formats majority in Cuban and Dominican production. V-cut face: technical alternative to the two straight cuts—the V-notch better preserves the head structure, offers a more concentrated draw, and reduces ash falling into the mouth. The choice of cut is made simply by rotating the cube to present the desired face—intuitive architecture that transforms a single object into three complementary cigar cutters.

THE DRAGON TOWN SPIRIT: THE CUBE UNDER THE SIGN OF THE IMPERIAL DRAGON

The Dragon Town takes its name and spirit from the stylized dragon engraving that adorns its V-blade—a tutelary figure of Chinese tradition in which the dragon is not a malevolent creature (unlike in the Western imagination) but the supreme symbol of imperial power, wisdom, longevity, and luck. Under the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the Emperor had the right to wear the five-clawed dragon on his garments and objects—this speaks to the nobility of this iconography. The Dragon Town embodies this tradition in a contemporary object: minimalist cubic shape inspired by Bauhaus meeting the Asian signature of the dragon. The 4 colors reinforce this dual lineage: Anthracite in the Western industrial tradition, Imperial Yellow directly inspired by the gold of the Qing Emperors, Empire Green which recalls British smoking rooms, and Lacquer Red which celebrates the Chinese vermilion, a symbol of prosperity. It is an object for the discerning desk smoker who wants a versatile tool with a strong visual presence, to place on an executive desk, a coffee table, or in a dedicated cigar cabinet.

How to use the Dragon Town Cigar Cutter

1
Choice of color. Select according to your interior: Anthracite for an understated timeless finish; Imperial Yellow for a solar pop of color that magnifies the dragon engraving; Empire Green for the muted atmosphere of a smoking room; Lacquer Red for an assertive statement that celebrates Chinese tradition.
2
Choice of face according to the cigar. Identify your cigar's gauge and rotate the cube to present the correct face: 26 mm face for large formats (Gordo, Churchill, Double Corona, gauge 52+); 22 mm face for majority classic formats (Robusto, Toro, Corona, gauge 40-52); V-face for a concentrated draw and less ash in the mouth.
3
Press-to-open cut. Place the head of the cigar in the circular opening of the chosen face. Press firmly on the top lid of the cube—the semi-automatic mechanism deploys the blades which perform the cut in one precise gesture. Release: the blades retract automatically.
4
Emptying via detachable base. Periodically (every 10 to 20 cuts depending on your usage), detach the bottom base of the cube to remove accumulated cut residues (wrapper scraps, tobacco strands). Empty into a bin, wipe with a soft dry cloth, replace the base. Complete maintenance in less than 30 seconds.

Which face to use according to the cigar format?

Cube face Diameter Cut type Compatible formats
Face 1 26 mm Wide straight Gordo, Churchill, Double Corona (gauge 52+)
Face 2 ⭐ 22 mm Standard straight Robusto, Toro, Corona, Lonsdale (gauge 40-52)
Face 3 (V) ≤ 22 mm V-notch Concentrated draw, less ash, all formats up to 22 mm

Straight cut or V-cut — which technique to prefer? Both schools exist and have their followers. The straight cut (majority) widely opens the head, releases the fullness of the aromas, and is suitable for smokers who enjoy a generous draw. The V-cut (more technical) better preserves the head structure, concentrates aromas in a narrower channel, reduces tobacco strands in the mouth, and limits ash falling on the palate. Experienced enthusiasts often alternate depending on the cigar and the moment of enjoyment. The Dragon Town specifically allows this flexibility by simply rotating the cube—one object, three cutting techniques at your fingertips.

Why 800 grams of stainless steel? The weight of the Dragon Town is no coincidence. A lightweight cigar cutter tends to slide on the desk at the moment of pressure—you then have to hold it with one hand while cutting with the other, which complicates the gesture. The 800 grams of the Dragon Town anchors the object to the surface: the pressure of the press-to-open is exerted without parasitic movement, the cut is cleaner, more regular, and the gesture remains elegant. It is the same logic as industrial sewing machines or workshop precision tools—weight is an ally of precision. Stainless steel also guarantees absolute durability (the blades will never rust) and an aesthetic that patinates elegantly with use.

Frequently asked questions

Why a cigar cutter with 3 cuts on 3 faces?
The ring gauge (diameter) of cigars varies according to the format: large gauges (Gordo, Churchill, higher than 52 / 26 mm) require a wide blade; classic formats (Robusto, Toro, Corona, gauge 40-52 / 22 mm) a standard blade; and the V-cut offers a technical alternative that concentrates aromas and reduces ash. A single-blade cigar cutter forces a compromise on certain formats. The Dragon Town dedicates an entire face of the cube to each type of cut—you simply rotate the cube to present the desired face. Intuitive architecture that covers the entire spectrum of premium cigars with a single object.
How does the press-to-open mechanism work?
The semi-automatic press-to-open is a spring-loaded mechanism: when you press firmly on the top lid of the cube, the movement actuates the internal blades that deploy to perform the cut. When you release the pressure, the blades retract automatically. It is an elegant, precise, and theatrical gesture that transforms the cut into a ritual moment—more satisfying than a classic manual guillotine. The mass of 800 grams stabilizes the whole for a clean cut without parasitic movement.
How do I empty the cut residues?
The bottom base of the cube unclips easily with a simple press. This gives you access to the inside of the cube where cape fragments and cut tobacco strands accumulate. Empty into a trash bin, wipe with a dry, soft cloth, and snap the base back into place. This operation should be performed every 10 to 20 cuts depending on your usage. Complete maintenance in under 30 seconds — this is a major advantage compared to cigar cutters that require complex disassembly for cleaning.
Why a dragon on the V-cutter?
The dragon engraving that adorns the V-blade is the aesthetic signature of the Dragon Town and gives it its name. In Chinese tradition, the imperial dragon is the supreme symbol of power, wisdom, longevity, and good fortune. Under the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the Emperor had the right to display the five-clawed dragon. The Dragon Town places this object in a noble lineage that transcends its utilitarian function — it is the spirit of traditional Chinese imperialism integrated into a contemporary object.
What is the difference between a straight cut and a V-cut?
The straight cut (the most common in the cigar world) opens the head wide and releases the fullness of the aromas — it is the universal choice suitable for the vast majority of smokers. The V-cut (more technical) creates a V-shaped notch that better preserves the structure of the head, concentrates the aromas into a narrower channel, reduces the tobacco strands that can enter the mouth, and limits the dropping of ash. Experienced enthusiasts alternate depending on the cigar and the moment — the Dragon Town allows this flexibility by simply rotating the cube.
Which of the 4 available colors should I choose?
The 4 colors correspond to 4 distinct aesthetic universes. Anthracite: understated, universal dark gray that matches any contemporary desk — the timeless choice. Imperial Yellow: a solar yellow lacquer that evokes Chinese imperial gold and magnifies the dragon engraving — for an assertive pop of color. Empire Green: a deep fir green reminiscent of traditional British smoking rooms with their cozy atmosphere. Lacquered Red: Chinese vermilion that celebrates the symbol of prosperity and adds a bold touch of brilliance.
Is the Dragon Town suitable for all cigars?
Yes — the combination of the 3 cuts (26 mm, 22 mm, V) covers the entirety of premium cigar formats: Cohiba, Habanos, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, H. Upmann, and all Cuban, Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Honduran brands. From the small Petit Corona to the Double Corona, including the Gordo, Robusto, and Toro, all sizes find their suitable side on the cube. For very large, exceptional modules (over 26 mm in diameter), please check compatibility beforehand.
