All you need to know
V-Cut Built-in cigar rest The ORIGINAL AZZURRO cigar cutter combines two essential actions for cigar lovers in a single tool. At the center of its rectangular body, a V-shaped stainless steel blade carves a clean wedge-shaped cut into the cigar head, opening the draw deep inside without weakening the wrapper. The opening measures 24 mm and accommodates cigars up to 23 mm in diameter, covering ring gauges of around 58: from small coronas to generous robustos. On top, a cigar rest with a serrated profile provides a stable support for the lit cigar during a conversation or a sip. It opens by spreading its two black ends, which are textured for an ergonomic grip, and then closes with a firm press to cut. Compact, it measures 74 × 45 × 14 mm and weighs 120 g. The metal alloy body is available in five colors, from understated black to khaki green, and each cigar cutter comes in a black gift box with a protective pouch, ready to give as a gift.

The V-cut: the art of the cut
There are three main ways to open a cigar: the straight cut with a guillotine, punching with a punch, and the V-cut. The latter does not slice through the cigar head: it carves a wedge-shaped notch into it, deeper than a simple hole but narrower than a straight cut.
The result: a large opening surface that provides a generous draw, while the cap remains largely intact. The wrapper unrolls less easily and the smoke concentrates toward the center of the tongue, which many enthusiasts find more aromatic. The blade of a V-cut cigar cutter must be perfectly sharpened to cut without tearing: that is why the ORIGINAL AZZURRO's is made of stainless steel and formed in a single piece to maintain a consistent edge.
Why you will love it
The AZZURRO spirit
Cut, then set down
The cigar ritual has its highlights: the cut, the lighting, and then those long minutes when the cigar is slowly enjoyed between puffs. The ORIGINAL AZZURRO accompanies the first two moments and makes the third easier.
Its V-shaped blade opens the head in one confident motion. Then, rather than looking for an ashtray on a patio or garden table, you simply turn the cigar cutter over: its serrated top becomes a support for the lit cigar, letting the cherry burn freely.
Smooth body and sculpted ends, gold or matte finishes: it is an accessory you will be happy to take out in front of your friends and always keep in your jacket pocket or cigar case.
How to cut your cigar properly with a V-cut
V-cut or straight cut?
| Criterion | V-cut (AZZURRO) | Guillotine | Punch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening shape | Wedge-shaped notch | Straight cut | Circular hole |
| Draw | Generous and concentrated | Very wide | Tighter |
| Wrapper retention | Excellent, cap preserved | Good with a sharp blade | Excellent |
| Recommended formats | Rounded heads, up to 23 mm | All formats | Small and medium gauges |
| Additional function | Cigar rest | Rarely | Often a keychain |
Good to know: the V-cut is ideal for cigars with rounded heads (coronas, robustos, toros). For pointed-head formats, such as torpedos and pyramids, a straight cut remains more suitable: find our guillotines and multi-cut models in our selection of cigar cutters.
Tip: never force a cigar that is too thick. If the head does not fit freely into the opening, choose a straight cut instead. After each use, wipe the blade with a dry cloth to remove tobacco strands, then store the cigar cutter in its pouch.

Frequently asked questions
What diameter cigar can be cut with the ORIGINAL AZZURRO?
The opening measures 24 mm and the cut is designed for cigars up to 23 mm in diameter, which corresponds to a ring gauge of around 58. This covers the vast majority of common formats: small coronas, coronas, robustos, and toros. Thicker modules beyond this measurement will not fit freely into the opening: for those, a wide-opening guillotine is better. For thin cigars, the cut remains precise, provided you center the head properly before closing the cigar cutter.
What is a V-cut?
Instead of slicing through the cigar head flat, the V-cut carves a wedge-shaped notch into it. The opening is deep, which provides a generous draw, but the cap remains largely intact: the wrapper holds better and is less likely to unroll. Many enthusiasts also appreciate the way the smoke concentrates toward the center of the tongue. It is a cut particularly suited to cigars with rounded heads, such as robustos and coronas.
How does the cigar rest work?
The top of the cigar cutter features a serrated profile that provides a stable support for the lit cigar. Place the ORIGINAL AZZURRO on a flat, stable surface, then place the cigar on this support, with the cherry facing outward and not touching the table. It is practical on a patio, while traveling, or at a friend's house who does not have a cigar ashtray. Just remember never to leave the cigar unattended and to choose a non-flammable surface.
Is the V-cut suitable for all cigars?
It is ideal for rounded heads: coronas, robustos, toros, and most parejos. For cigars with a pointed head, such as torpedos, belicosos, or pyramids, a straight cut is more suitable, as the V-shaped notch could be too deep on a narrow point. If you regularly smoke these formats, complete your equipment with a guillotine or a multi-cut model from our selection of cigar cutters.
What is the ORIGINAL AZZURRO made of?
The blade is made of stainless steel, formed in a single piece for a consistent edge, and resists the natural moisture of tobacco. The body is made of metal alloy, extended by two textured black ends that ensure a good grip. The whole measures 74 × 45 × 14 mm and weighs 120 g. Each color shares exactly the same technical specifications: only the appearance changes, from bright gold to matte khaki green.
How do you maintain the blade?
After each use, wipe the blade with a soft, dry cloth to remove tobacco strands and any residue. Avoid immersing the cigar cutter in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Store it in its protective pouch, away from impacts, to preserve the blade's edge and prevent scratches on the body. Regular maintenance is enough to keep a clean cut for years.
Is the ORIGINAL AZZURRO delivered ready to give as a gift?
Yes. It arrives in a black gift box with internal padding, accompanied by a protective pouch for everyday transport. There is therefore nothing to add to give it as a gift, whether for a birthday, Father's Day, Christmas, or as a thank-you. Cigars are not included: you can put together a more complete gift by pairing it with a lighter or a cigar case from our selection.
