Quality cigar accessories can enhance the experience of indulging in a great stogie and there are a few tools that serious aficionados should not be without. In this article, we'll tell you which surprising goodies from a cigar shop or grocery store can make smoking one a luxurious treat.

Cigar cutters are used to remove or penetrate its cap before smoking it. There are three basic types of cuts: the straight cut, the wedge or "V" cut and the hole punch. The type of cut to make is based on personal preference and the size and/or shape of it. The straight cut is the most common. The double blade guillotine is preferred by many aficionados because it usually makes a cleaner cut.

The wedge or "V" cutter resembles the guillotine cutter, but the shape of the blade slices a wedge into its cap instead of cutting it completely off. The hole punch is used to put a hole in its cap instead of just cutting it off. If a cutter or hole punch isn't available, a hole cut can be made in a cigar using a pen or pencil.

If you are one to purchase expensive varieties, like a Cuban cigar, then here is an accessory you'll definitely need.
