Cigar lighters with punch allow you to more accurately cut the cigar, or handle the punching process.  If a cigar is cut correctly, it tastes much better when you are smoking it.  As you know, most people smoke cigars for the flavor, so this is a very big deal.  If you cut one wrong, you could totally ruin the experience.  If it is someone’s first time smoking a cigar, they could decide to never do it again, just because the cigar wasn’t cut correctly.

You can get a cigar punch cutter that isn’t also a lighter, or that isn’t a key chain and they all work the same.  It will fit perfectly in the palm of your hand regardless of the added features it has.  It is just more convenient and you aren’t as likely to lose it if it is serving more than one purpose.  Giving a gift of a lighter with a built-in punch is always a good idea for the cigar fanatic in your life!

Finding vintage cigar cutters table models may be harder to find.  It seems that going to some of the places where cigars originated and are still made as a main source of living, like Cuba or the Dominican Republic, would be a good place to find a vintage cutter.  It’d probably be a cigar lover’s dream to spend some time in one of those countries with all the cigar paraphernalia they have that has been around for years.

A lot of the vintage stuff is made out of wood and if you can find a piece in good shape, scoop it up.  A lot of collectible shops (brick and mortar or online) may be a good place to start for the vintage pieces instead of a cigar shop.  Cigar shops are more likely to carry newer, high end stuff.  While vintage may be ‘high end’ in price, the demand isn’t high enough for you normal, run of the mill cigar shop to carry it.
