About Table Top Guillotine Cigar Cutter
What is Table Top Guillotine Cigar Cutter?
The Table Top Guillotine Cigar Cutter is a dedicated cutting station designed for cigar enthusiasts and commercial operators who demand a flawless slice every time. Unlike handheld models, this unit sits on a sturdy tabletop surface, providing a fixed, vibration-free platform. The cutter employs a heavy-duty steel blade that drops vertically, mimicking the action of a guillotine to produce a clean, even cut without crushing the wrapper. Its ergonomic lever requires minimal hand pressure, making it suitable for frequent use in high-traffic environments such as cigar lounges, boutique shops, and tasting events.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size cigars can the Table Top Guillotine Cigar Cutter handle?
▾
The cutter is designed to accommodate standard cigar diameters from 4 mm up to 20 mm, covering most corona, robusto and toro sizes. The adjustable guide lets you set the exact cut depth, so both thin and thick rings are sliced cleanly without crushing the wrapper.
Does the cutter require any assembly?
▾
No assembly is required out of the box. The cutter arrives fully assembled, with the lever, blade and base already secured. Simply place the unit on a stable surface, insert a cigar into the guide, and you’re ready to cut.
How often should the blade be sharpened?
▾
The steel blade retains its edge for many cuts, but for optimal performance you should sharpen it after roughly 150–200 clean slices or whenever you notice a slight drag. A fine-grit sharpening stone or a professional service will restore the razor-sharp edge.
Is the cutter suitable for travel?
▾
While the cutter’s sturdy tabletop base makes it ideal for permanent placement, its compact size allows you to move it between rooms or set it up at events. It is not designed for suitcase travel, but a padded case can protect it for occasional transport.
Can I use the cutter on flavored or infused cigars?
▾
Yes, the cutter works equally well on flavored, infused or natural cigars because the cutting action is purely mechanical. The blade does not generate heat, so the delicate oils in flavored wrappers remain intact, preserving the intended taste profile overall.
