What is a cigar cutter used for?
The most basic answer is to cut a cigar. However, I'm guessing you mean why a cigar cutter as opposed to chewing off the end or using scissors or a knife. Basicly a cigar cutter assures that the cut is clean. By chewing the end or using scissors the end won't be cut cleanly causing you to get "hangers". Basicly little strands of the cigar. Which in turn will give you an annoying smoke.

I need a cigar cutter by saturday, so I cant order one off the net, but where would you buy one? A liquor store? A knive store? A home store? I live in Perth, Australia so we probably dont have as good or specialty stores like they might have in the US etc but any clue or suggestion would be really helpful!
how about the same place you buy your cigars at, or maybe a cigar lounge, not sure, also look on the world wide web
I'm traveling on Friday and I need to know ASAP if you can bring a cigar cutter on an airplane. Thanks guys.
Yes can bring a cigar cutter in either your checked luggage or your carry-on...there are NO restrictions against them. See site below to see that it says specifically that you can have a cigar cutter in carry-on or checked luggage...just scroll down to section under "makeup, medication and personal items."
Looking for a cutter that will last a long time, after many uses, and still make a clean cut.

Im looking to give my brother in law a cigar cutter, with his initials engraved on it. Can someone please recomend anice cutter, under 75$
You can try the Xicar...Real nice double cutter, V-cutter, etc.
Engraving can be done at any mall with a jewelry kiosk or any "rememberances" store.
Go to your local cigar shop and take a look around -- and by cigar shop I don't mean the corner store -- find a reputable shop and ask for their help.
Good luck! (and nice gift idea!)

Choosing The Right Cigar Cutter
As a cigar is basically rolled tobacco leaves, in order to smoke them you need to cut at the end that will go in the mouth in order to be able to reach to the cigar.
As you know, cigars come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. And as a consequence, there are three main types of cigar cutters to assist in doing the perfect job for each type of cigar. The three main kinds of cutters are straight cutters, wedge cutters and hole punchers.
Using The Straight Cigar Cutter
Straight cigar cutters come in two different forms, scissors and the guillotine; the scissor cigar cutter applies more force and is usually preferred for the thinner cigars as for the guillotine, it comes in single and double blade, the single blade is used on thinner cigars and the double blade in ticker ones that need a cleaner cut.
Using The Wedge Cigar Cutter
The wedge cigar cutter is similar to the guillotine cutter but does not deliver the same shape cut in the cigar but a wedge cut hence the name and some cigar smoker prefer it in order to draw out lesser amount of smoke at one time and thus, enjoy the cigar for longer time.
Using The Hole Punchers
Hole punchers are used on thinner cigars, which some dont want to cut; hole punchers are used on larger cigars as well but you may need to repeat the punch a couple of times in order to make a large enough hole to draw smoke from a thicker cigar.
Most Commonly Used Cigar Cutter
The most commonly used cigar cutter is the guillotine because it is easy to use and it does not damage the cigar in the process as it may happen with the wedge or scissor cutters. It is very important to use the right cutter in order to be able to enjoy your cigar at its fullest without cutting too much into the cigar and at the same time without damaging it. The right way to cut a cigar is from the closed end, put the cutter over in for no more then half an inch and then with one single stroke of the cutter cut your cigar; if the cigar is thick you may want to use a double blade cigar cutter for a clean easy cut. If the cigar cutter is not sharp or strong enough for the size of the cigar you are about to cut it can ruin it by pulling at the tobacco leaves and even bringing it apart.
