Set of 4 accessoriesWood & steel
The SEMO-CUBE set brings together the four essential cigar ritual accessories in a single object: a cigar cutter, a punch cutter, a cigar stand, and a detachable steel ashtray cup, all housed in an elegant 12 × 12 × 7 cm cubic wooden box. When folded, the CUBE slips into a travel bag or suitcase with the discretion of a case. When unfolded, it transforms into a 24 × 12 × 3.5 cm tasting set where each tool immediately finds its place and function. The combination of warm wood and resistant steel makes it as much an object to display on a desk as it is a reliable travel companion. Whether you prefer a clean straight cut or a punch that preserves the wrapper, the SEMO-CUBE gives you the choice of method depending on the cigar of the moment. It is the most complete cigar travel kit in the collection — ready to use, ready to give.
The 4 accessories in the SEMO-CUBE set
Wood & steel — two materials, two roles
The marriage of wood and steel is a classic in fine cigar accessories, with each playing a specific role. Wood forms the case: warm to the touch, it protects the tools during transport and gives the CUBE its decorative presence, worthy of a desk or a library.
Steel, meanwhile, ensures functionality: it provides the necessary sharpness for the cigar cutter and punch, and its heat resistance allows the ashtray cup to hold ashes and resting cigars without deforming or tarnishing. A simple rinse with hot water is enough to restore its shine — unlike a porous ashtray which would retain odors and stains.

The Cube — from 12 × 12 cm to 24 × 12 cm in one motion
When folded, the SEMO-CUBE measures 12 × 12 × 7 cm — compact as a tissue box, it disappears into a bag or suitcase without taking up any space. When unfolded, it transforms into a 24 × 12 × 3.5 cm tasting set: the cigar cutter and punch at hand, the stand ready to hold your cigar, the ashtray cup in position. One object, two configurations — the complete ritual unfolds and folds as quickly as it travels. It is this intelligent design that distinguishes the SEMO-CUBE from a simple accessory kit: nothing is searched for, nothing gets lost, everything is in its place.
The SEMO-CUBE ritual in 4 steps
1
Unfold the cube. Open the SEMO-CUBE to switch from transport configuration (12 × 12 × 7 cm) to the unfolded tasting set (24 × 12 × 3.5 cm) — each accessory is immediately accessible.
2
Cut or punch. Choose your method: the cigar cutter for a wide opening on a straight format, or the punch to perforate the head while preserving the wrapper of a Torpedo.
3
Rest between puffs. The stand keeps your cigar stable and elevated — the ember does not touch any surface, your hands remain free for conversation or a drink.
4
Ash, then rinse. The steel cup collects ashes cleanly. After tasting, detach it, rinse with hot water, dry — and fold the cube.

Maintenance: the ashtray cup detaches and rinses with hot water after each use — dry it before putting it back in place. The wooden box should be wiped with a dry cloth only: avoid prolonged contact with water. The cigar cutter and punch should be wiped with a dry cloth after use to preserve their sharpness.
Tasting tip: with both tools in the same set, adapt the method to the cigar of the moment — the punch for a Torpedo whose wrapper you want to preserve and flavors you want to concentrate, the cigar cutter for a Robusto whose draw you want to maximize. The SEMO-CUBE gives you this freedom with each tasting.

🎁 The most complete cigar gift
Four accessories gathered in an elegant wooden box, immediately usable for travel as well as at home: the SEMO-CUBE is a gift that never fails for a cigar enthusiast. Give it for a birthday, Father's Day, a retirement party or to mark a professional achievement — the CUBE box acts as a case, ready to give without additional packaging.
To create a complete ritual, all that's missing is a flame and a reserve: pair it with a torch lighter for ignition and a cigar humidor to store cigars in ideal conditions between tastings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the cigar cutter and the punch in the set?
The cigar cutter slices the entire head of the cigar for a wide and ample draw — it is the universal method, suitable for all straight formats such as Robusto, Corona, or Churchill. The punch (hole puncher) pierces a central channel while preserving the wrapper intact: it offers a more concentrated draw and limits any risk of fraying, making it ideal for Torpedo, Piramides, or fragile wrappers. Having both tools in the same set gives you the choice of method depending on the cigar of the moment.
Is the SEMO-CUBE suitable for air travel?
The folded CUBE (12 × 12 × 7 cm) fits easily into a travel bag or suitcase — that is precisely its purpose. However, please note: the cigar cutter and punch are sharp objects and must absolutely be placed in checked luggage, never in carry-on luggage, in accordance with airline security rules. In checked luggage, the set travels without any restrictions and the wooden box protects the accessories from shocks.
How do I clean the steel ashtray cup?
Detach the cup with a single motion, rinse it with hot water, and dry it thoroughly before putting it back in place. Steel is resistant to heat and humidity: complete cleaning takes less than thirty seconds. This is the decisive advantage of the detachable system compared to a fixed ashtray — no need to blow out ashes or turn over the entire set, the cup can be cleaned alone, like a piece of dishware.
Is the cigar stand suitable for all formats?
Yes — the stand is designed to accommodate the vast majority of common formats, from Petit Corona to Robusto. It keeps the cigar in a stable and slightly elevated position between puffs, regardless of diameter: the ember does not touch any surface, no burn marks are left on the table, and the cigar remains within reach without ever rolling.
What exactly does the set contain and what are its dimensions?
The SEMO-CUBE contains four accessories: a straight-cut cigar cutter, a punch cutter, a cigar stand, and a detachable steel ashtray cup — all housed in a cubic wooden box. When folded, the set measures 12 × 12 × 7 cm; when unfolded, it transforms into a tasting set of 24 × 12 × 3.5 cm where each tool is immediately accessible.
How do I maintain the wooden box of the SEMO-CUBE?
The wooden box should only be maintained with a soft, dry cloth — avoid water, detergents, and prolonged exposure to humidity, which could damage the wood surface. Store the CUBE away from direct sunlight to preserve its color. Only the steel ashtray cup, once detached, should be rinsed with water: the wood itself should never be submerged or wet.
Is the SEMO-CUBE a good gift for a cigar enthusiast?
It is one of the most complete cigar gifts available: four accessories gathered in an elegant wooden box, immediately usable for travel as well as at home, with nothing else needed. The CUBE box is as beautiful to display on a desk as it is useful to transport — and to perfect the ritual, all that's missing is a torch lighter and a cigar humidor for storage. Birthday, Father's Day, retirement: it hits the mark on every occasion.
