The Difference
Between Cigar
Accessories
Certain accessories for cigar smoking allow for a more enjoyable smoking
experience and other types allow for an easier smoking session. No matter what
you want to achieve from a cigar, there will be a cigar accessory that is right for
you.
Let’s compare the most popular and most common accessories for cigar
smoking.
Cigar Ashtray vs. Ashcan
Similar to a cigarette ashtray, a traditional cigar ashtray is used primarily to catch
the excess ash from a cigar into a singular tray to maintain a clean smoking
space and collect all the ash in one place. Unlike cigarettes though, cigars aren’t
meant to be stamped out to stop them from burning. A good cigar smoker would
know to let the cigar burn out on its own. So, a cigar ashtray allows each cigar to
comfortably rest in the ashtray so it can burn out.
An ashcan is for the main purpose of travel. Most cigar ashcan
can fit into any console or cup holder of your car. So if you’re on
the go or like to smoke cigars while driving, this may be one of
the cigar accessories for you. Ash cans are specifically designed
for travel because of the screw lid that will keep cigar aromas and
ash inside the ashcan.
Guillotine Cigar Cutters vs. V-Cutters
A good cigar can be ruined if cut incorrectly. If the cigar is cut in an improper way,
the wrapper will become unraveled and your cigar smoke will be ruined. That’s
why it’s important to know the differences between each cigar cutter, so you won’t
run into any issues. The guillotine cigar cutter is the more common or traditional
cutter due to its accessibility. It’s the easier cutter to use and provides a clean cut
to any cigar. One disadvantage you could run into is having a dull blade. Like any
good knife, the blade needs to be sharp to get that clean cut you want.
A V-Cutter on the other hand provides a deep wedge-shaped cut
to allow for a more controlled and steady draw. It depends on the
smoker, but this cutter gives a smaller opening, resulting in a
small opening. For these types of cigar accessories, it’s mainly
about personal preference and trial and error.
Torch Lighters vs. Burners
A torch lighter is the more common type of cigar lighter. Cigars take more flame to
actually light than a normal cigarette does, so typical lighters you can find at the gas
station won’t suffice. A torch lighter will give a strong stream of fire to evenly and
effectively light your cigar.
A cigar is the more advanced or elegant lighter for someone
looking for an elevated smoking experience. It appears more like
a small teapot but it is filled with butane gas and a valve that
allows for a steady flow of flame to be released from the burner.
It is user friendly and easy to extinguish the flame.
