The cigar scissor is an old fashioned and elegant approach to cutting a cigar.  They are also one of the easiest and best types of cutters because they can be finessed easily while keeping the cigar and head visible.  Cigar scissors are beveled and shaped to make a precise cut, so not just any scissor will do.  Cigar scissors also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but most scissors will accomodate larger ring gauge cigars.     Again, the key to achieving a perfect cut is having a firm grip near the head of the cigar.
