Cigar Punch
Cigar Punch Cutters
The cigar punch is a cigar tool used to cut a small circular hole in a cigar’s “cap” which allows the cigar to be smoked. Using a punch on a cigar is a less intrusive way of opening up the cigar. The small hole it makes leaves the cap of the cigar mostly intact which prevents the wrapper from unraveling during smoking. While smoking, a punched cigar allows fewer tobacco flakes in your mouth than cutting does.
Cigar punches cannot be used on all types of cigars. They only work on cigars with rounded caps over the ring gauge size of 40. The punch will not work well on torpedo or figurado shaped cigars, amongst some others.
