The Wood Original Cigar Cutter adopts a teardrop triangular shape that immediately distinguishes it from the standard rectangular guillotine. Its body made of dense and patinated dark reddish-brown wood features a sharpened stainless steel guillotine blade and a gold rivet that elegantly secures the assembly. The wood inlay improves the grip, absorbs micro-vibrations from the cut, and provides a balance that metal alone cannot achieve. Maximum cigar diameter: 20 mm. Dimensions: 7.8 × 5.8 × 1 cm. Delivered in a black gift box with a gold trim.

Dark wood + stainless steel — why this pairing works
The vast majority of cigar cutters choose one or the other: metal for durability, plastic for economy. The Wood Original combines a body of dense dark wood — naturally resistant to impact and deformation — with a sharpened anti-corrosion stainless steel blade. This pairing is not just aesthetic.
The wood absorbs the micro-vibrations transmitted by the blade during the cut — where metal would send them back into your fingers, the wood cushions them. It also offers a natural balance: heavier than plastic, less cold than steel. Its teardrop triangular shape allows for a grip between the thumb and index finger that naturally centers the cutting force. The gold rivet that secures the assembly is the visual signature of this artisanal object.

Dark wood & steel — craftsmanship in the service of the cut
The Wood Original is one of the few cigar cutters conceived as an object to be held as much as to be used. Its teardrop triangular shape is immediately recognizable among the rectangular tools that dominate the market. Placed on a table, it stands out — an accessory one notices before even using it.
Its dense dark wood develops a unique patina over time, specific to each owner. The gold rivet that joins the wood and steel is the artisanal detail that reveals the care put into its design. It is not just another tool in a collection — it is an object one keeps, recognizes, and chooses.
Usage — 4 steps
1
Check the diameter: ensure the cigar to be cut has a diameter less than or equal to 20 mm (approx. cepo ≤ 51). Gordo formats with a 60 cepo (∅ 23.8 mm) exceed the capacity of the Wood Original — use a larger diameter cigar cutter for these formats.
2
Grip: hold the Wood Original between your thumb and index finger, with the wood in your palm. The teardrop triangular shape naturally centers the pressure toward the blade. Open the blade with your thumb.
3
Cut: position the head of the cigar in the opening — center the cut between 2 and 4 mm from the edge of the cap, depending on the format. Close with a firm, steady motion. The sharpened stainless steel blade makes a clean cut without tearing.
4
Maintenance: wipe the blade with a dry cloth after use. For the wooden body, avoid water and prolonged humidity, which may warp or dull the wood. Light maintenance with natural wax preserves the luster of the dark wood over the long term.

20 mm diameter — which formats are compatible? The maximum diameter of 20 mm corresponds to a cepo of approximately 51. The following are compatible: Corona (cepo 40–42 · ∅ 15.9–16.7 mm), Panatela (cepo 35–38 · ∅ 13.9–15.1 mm), Demi-Tasse (cepo 30–38), Lancero (cepo 38), Standard Churchill (cepo 47 · ∅ 18.7 mm). Robusto cepo 50 (∅ 19.8 mm) formats are at the limit. Toro cepo 52+ and Gordo formats exceed capacity — use a larger diameter cutter.
Dark wood maintenance: the wooden body of the Wood Original can dull or warp in prolonged contact with moisture. Wipe it with a dry cloth after each use. For biannual maintenance, apply a natural wood wax (beeswax or teak oil) with a soft cloth — this nourishes the wood and maintains its deep reddish-brown color. Store the Wood Original in its case between uses to protect it.

20 mm diameter limit: the Wood Original is calibrated for cigars up to 20 mm in diameter (cepo ≤ 51). Forcing a Robusto cepo 52+ or a Gordo cepo 60 into the opening risks damaging the blade and ruining the cigar's wrapper. For large formats, use a larger diameter cigar cutter. Do not immerse in water — the wood may swell and warp.
Cigar gift — the artisanal object
The Wood Original is one of the most distinctive cigar gifts for a connoisseur who appreciates fine materials: dark reddish-brown teardrop-shaped wood, sharpened stainless steel blade, gold rivet, delivered in its black gift box with gold trim. A cigar cutter that stands out at first glance — and develops a patina unique to its owner over time.
Ideal for a birthday, Father's Day, or retirement. Pair it with a torch lighter and a cigar case to create a complete cigar ritual.
What cigar diameter does the Wood Original accept?
The Wood Original accepts cigars up to 20 mm in diameter, which is approximately a 51 cepo. Compatible formats: Corona (cepo 40–42), fine Panatela, Demi-Tasse, Lancero (cepo 38), Standard Churchill (cepo 47 · ∅ 18.7 mm). Robusto cepo 50 (∅ 19.8 mm) are at the limit. Toro cepo 52+ and Gordo cepo 60 exceed capacity — use a larger diameter cutter for these formats.
Is the wood inlay functional or just decorative?
Both. The dense dark wood of the body serves a concrete mechanical function: it absorbs the micro-vibrations transmitted by the blade during the cut, whereas an all-metal body would transfer them into your fingers. It also offers a natural balance that is more pleasant than metal alone. Its teardrop triangular shape intuitively guides your grip. Aesthetically, it develops a unique patina over time — something metal cannot do.
How do I maintain the wooden part of the Wood Original?
Wipe the wooden body with a dry cloth after each use — avoid water and prolonged humidity, which can warp the wood or dull its color. For biannual maintenance, apply a thin layer of natural wood wax (beeswax or teak oil) with a soft cloth. Store the Wood Original in its black gift box with gold trim between uses to protect it. The stainless steel blade can be cleaned with a simple dry cloth after each cut.
Is the Wood Original delivered in a gift box?
Yes — every Wood Original is delivered in its black gift box with gold trim, ready to gift without additional packaging. The box highlights the object and allows for safe storage and transport. It is one of the elements that makes the Wood Original a complete cigar gift upon arrival — nothing to add, nothing to wrap.
Does the blade dull over time? How do I maintain it?
The sharpened stainless steel blade retains its edge long-term, provided it is maintained correctly. Wipe it with a dry cloth after each use — damp tobacco residue can slightly oxidize steel, even stainless, if left in contact for too long. In case of dulling after intensive use, a light sharpening on a fine stone (800–1000 grit) will restore the edge. Avoid immersion in water.
Can I cut Robusto or Toro cigars with the Wood Original?
Robusto cepo 50 (∅ 19.8 mm) are at the limit of the 20 mm maximum diameter — they are technically compatible but with little margin. To avoid forcing it, check the exact diameter of your Robusto before cutting. Toro cepo 52 (∅ 20.6 mm) and beyond exceed the capacity — do not force, as you risk damaging the blade. For Toro, Gordo, and large formats, opt for a larger diameter cigar cutter.
Is the Wood Original a good gift for a cigar enthusiast?
The Wood Original is one of the most appreciated cigar gifts by connoisseurs sensitive to fine materials: dark reddish-brown teardrop-shaped wood, sharpened anti-corrosion stainless steel blade, gold rivet, and a black gift box with gold trim included. A distinctive object that immediately stands out from standard metal cigar cutters. Paired with a torch lighter, it makes for a complete and memorable gift duo for a birthday, Father's Day, or retirement.
