Cigar Tech is introducing a revolutionary new cigar cutter design they are calling "SHURIKEN"("blade hidden in the hand"), otherwise known as a Japanese throwing star. The cutter, which looks like a giant capsule, has 6 razor sharp blades inside that cut slits around the top of the cigar. This allows the smoker to control the draw of their cigar by the amount of pressure applied. The new term for this cutting technique is called "I Draw Technology." The cutter will be available in plastic composite models with a $20.00 SRP, as well as various anodized aluminum models with SRP's ranging from $35.00-$40.00.

"The SHURIKEN cut draws the smoke evenly throughout the cigar, resulting in a cooler, more flavorful smoke," said Belinda Doyle, the founder of Cigar Tech. "It positions the smoke onto the tongue where the most pleasant tastes are experienced, and the draw is controlled by the pressure of your mouth on the slits made by the cutter. It really is amazing to be able to control the draw of virtually any cigar with this unique cut."
It looks like I may have to update my article about Cigar Cutters!

This looks like a cool new toy .. but I went to their website and it doesn’t have this on there yet.
Yes, it seems that we have the scoop before anyone else, even the company that made it! If you wanna know about the latest cigars and accessories, now you know where to come.
I want one! How soon will this be available to consumers?
Gordon,
Your local retailer is able to order them but if you want to know who exactly is going to sell them, on-line or locally you can contact Belinda Doyle, President of CigarTech – belinda@cigartech.com

I purchased this and it is amazing. I have never gotten an even flavor full feal of a cigar. Its like you get to taste all the notes of the cigar immedately once you’ve cut it. It doesn’t matter what cigar it is.. I tried the same cigar several times and it gave me more flavor and taste that the previous time.. One caution make sure you dont crack the tip, or cap of the cigar. You must gently cut this when inserting the cigar into the cutter. Awesome, I just hope they can make this more compact.
I bought one from Famous Cigars – I really like it
