The Dragon Town Desktop Cigar Cutter is a stainless steel horological cube that features three different types of cuts on three distinct faces of the cube — you simply rotate the cube to use the desired cut. Face 1: 26 mm straight cut (for large modules like Gordo, Churchill). Face 2: 22 mm straight cut (for classic Robusto, Toro, Corona formats). Face 3: V-cut (V-notch that concentrates aromas and reduces ash in the mouth). Each face has its own circular opening and its own semi-automatic press-to-open mechanism that raises the blades when you press the top cover — an elegant, precise, and theatrical gesture that turns cutting into a ritual. Compact and heavy format: 78 × 78 × 83 mm weighing 800 grams of solid stainless steel that anchors the cigar cutter to the desk without slipping during cutting. The bottom base easily unclips to empty accumulated cutting debris (wrapper pieces, tobacco strands) — quick maintenance in a few seconds. A stylized dragon engraving adorns the V-blade and gives this object its name: Dragon Town pays homage to the Chinese tradition of the imperial dragon, a symbol of power, wisdom, and luck.

Why 3 different cuts on 3 faces of the cube?
The gauge (diameter) of cigars varies considerably depending on the chosen format. Classic formats (Robusto, Toro, Corona, Lonsdale) have a gauge between 40 and 52 (diameter in 64ths of an inch), or approximately 16 to 21 mm. Gordo, Churchill, Double Corona formats have gauges greater than 52 and can exceed 26 mm. A single-blade cigar cutter therefore forces a compromise either on large modules (incomplete cut, wrapper tearing), or on thin modules (cut too wide that opens the head too much).
The Dragon Town solves this limitation with a unique cubic architecture that dedicates an entire face of the cube to each type of cut. 26 mm face: accommodates all large modules without constraint. 22 mm face: sized for the majority of classic formats from Cuban and Dominican production. V-cut face: a technical alternative to the two straight cuts — the V-notch better preserves the head structure, offers a more concentrated draw, and reduces ash falling into the mouth. The choice of cut is made simply by rotating the cube to present the desired face — intuitive architecture that transforms a single object into three complementary cigar cutters.
THE DRAGON TOWN SPIRIT: THE CUBE UNDER THE SIGN OF THE IMPERIAL DRAGON
The Dragon Town takes its name and spirit from the stylized dragon engraving that adorns its V-blade — a tutelary figure from Chinese tradition in which the dragon is not a malevolent creature (unlike in Western imagination) but the supreme symbol of imperial power, wisdom, longevity, and luck. Under the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the Emperor had the right to display the five-clawed dragon on his clothes and objects — this speaks to the nobility of this iconography. The Dragon Town embodies this tradition in a contemporary object: a minimalist cubic form inspired by Bauhaus meeting the Asian signature of the dragon. The 4 colors reinforce this dual lineage: Anthracite in the Western industrial tradition, Imperial Yellow directly inspired by the gold of the Qing Emperors, Empire Green reminiscent of British smoking rooms, and Lacquer Red celebrating Chinese vermilion as a symbol of prosperity. This is an object for the demanding desk smoker who wants a versatile tool with a strong visual presence, to be placed on an executive desk, a living room table, or in a dedicated cigar cabinet.
How to use the Dragon Town Cigar Cutter
1
Color choice. Select according to your interior: Anthracite for a sober, timeless look; Imperial Yellow for a sunny color accent that magnifies the dragon engraving; Empire Green for the muted atmosphere of a smoking room; Lacquer Red for a bold statement that celebrates Chinese tradition.
2
Choosing the face according to the cigar. Identify your cigar's gauge and rotate the cube to present the correct face: 26 mm face for large formats (Gordo, Churchill, Double Corona, gauge 52+); 22 mm face for the majority of classic formats (Robusto, Toro, Corona, gauge 40-52); V-face for a concentrated draw and less ash in the mouth.
3
Press-to-open cut. Place the cigar head in the circular opening of the chosen face. Press firmly on the top cover of the cube — the semi-automatic mechanism deploys the blades to make the cut in one precise motion. Release: the blades retract automatically.
4
Emptying via detachable base. Periodically (every 10 to 20 cuts depending on your use), unclip the bottom base of the cube to remove accumulated cutting debris (wrapper pieces, tobacco strands). Empty into a bin, wipe with a soft dry cloth, replace the base. Complete maintenance in less than 30 seconds.

💡 Straight cut or V-cut — which technique to prefer? Both schools exist and have their followers. The straight cut (the most common) widely opens the head, releases the fullness of aromas, and suits smokers who appreciate a generous draw. The V-cut (more technical) better preserves the head structure, concentrates aromas in a narrower channel, reduces tobacco strands in the mouth, and limits ash falling on the palate. Experienced enthusiasts often alternate depending on the cigar and the tasting moment. The Dragon Town allows this flexibility by simply rotating the cube — a single object, three cutting techniques at your fingertips.
Why 800 grams of stainless steel? The weight of the Dragon Town is no accident. A light cigar cutter tends to slide on the desk when pressure is applied—you then have to hold it with one hand while cutting with the other, which complicates the action. The 800 grams of the Dragon Town anchor the object on the surface: the pressure of the press-to-open is applied without parasitic movement, the cut is cleaner, more consistent, and the gesture remains elegant. This is the same logic as industrial sewing machines or precision workshop tools—weight is an ally of precision. Stainless steel also guarantees absolute durability (the blades will never rust) and an aesthetic that gracefully patinates with use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a cigar cutter with 3 cuts on 3 faces?
The ring gauge (diameter) of cigars varies by format: large ring gauges (Gordo, Churchill, over 52 / 26 mm) require a wide blade; classic formats (Robusto, Toro, Corona, ring gauge 40-52 / 22 mm) a standard blade; and the V-cut offers a technical alternative that concentrates flavors and reduces ash. A single-blade cigar cutter forces a compromise on certain formats. The Dragon Town dedicates an entire face of the cube to each type of cut—you simply turn the cube to present the desired face. This intuitive architecture covers the entire spectrum of premium cigars with a single object.
How does the press-to-open mechanism work?
The semi-automatic press-to-open is a spring-loaded mechanism: when you firmly press the top cover of the cube, the movement activates the internal blades which deploy to make the cut. When you release the pressure, the blades automatically retract. It's an elegant, precise, and theatrical gesture that transforms cutting into a ritual moment—more satisfying than a classic manual guillotine. The 800-gram mass stabilizes the entire unit for a clean cut without parasitic movement.
How are cutting residues emptied?
The lower base of the cube unclips easily with a simple press. This gives you access to the inside of the cube where cut wrapper pieces and tobacco strands accumulate. Empty into a bin, wipe with a dry soft cloth, and replace the base by simply clipping it back. This operation should be done every 10 to 20 cuts depending on your use. Complete maintenance in less than 30 seconds—this is a major advantage over cigar cutters that require complex disassembly for cleaning.
Why a dragon on the V-blade?
The dragon engraving adorning the V-blade is the aesthetic signature of the Dragon Town and gives it its name. In Chinese tradition, the imperial dragon is the supreme symbol of power, wisdom, longevity, and luck. Under the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the Emperor had the right to display the five-clawed dragon. The Dragon Town places this object in a noble lineage that transcends its utilitarian function—it is the spirit of Chinese imperial tradition integrated into a contemporary object.
What is the difference between a straight cut and a V-cut?
The straight cut (predominant in the cigar world) widely opens the head and releases the fullness of flavors—it is the universal choice suitable for the vast majority of smokers. The V-cut (more technical) creates a V-shaped notch that better preserves the head's structure, concentrates flavors in a narrower channel, reduces tobacco bits that can enter the mouth, and limits ash fall. Experienced aficionados alternate according to the cigar and the moment—the Dragon Town allows this flexibility by simply turning the cube.
Which color to choose from the 4 available?
The 4 colors correspond to 4 distinct aesthetic universes. Anthracite: sober dark gray, universal, suits any contemporary desk—the timeless choice. Imperial Yellow: a sunny yellow lacquer that evokes Chinese imperial gold and magnifies the dragon engraving—for a bold splash of color. Empire Green: a deep fir green reminiscent of traditional British smoking rooms with their cozy atmospheres. Lacquer Red: Chinese vermilion that celebrates the symbol of prosperity and makes a strong statement.
Is the Dragon Town suitable for all cigars?
Yes—the combination of the 3 cuts (26 mm, 22 mm, V) covers all premium cigar formats: Cohiba, Habanos, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, H. Upmann, and all Cuban, Dominican, Nicaraguan, Honduran brands. From the small Petit Corona to the Double Corona, including the Gordo, Robusto, and Toro, all ring gauges find their adapted face on the cube. For exceptionally large ring gauges (beyond 26 mm in diameter), please check compatibility beforehand.
