Why Les Fines Lames Stands Out

For Beginners: Simplicity Without Compromise

If you're just stepping into the world of cigars, the idea of using a knife to cut your cigar may feel intimidating. However, Les Fines Lames is surprisingly beginner-friendly. With a discreet, folding knife design and a dedicated 23mm notch for clean cuts, it ensures that even novice hands can execute a perfect straight cut. No jagged tears, no uneven airflow — just a smooth, satisfying start to your smoke.

For Intermediate Enthusiasts: Precision & Portability

Cigar lovers who’ve tried a variety of cigar cutters will appreciate how Les Fines Lames fuses elegance with function. Built from hardened stainless steel and high-quality materials like olivewood, ebony, or carbon fibre, it slips easily into your pocket without sacrificing utility. It’s a dual-purpose tool: a cigar cutter and a pocket knife — perfect for outdoor smokes, travel, or enjoying a sunset with a Cuban by the coast.

For Connoisseurs: A Collector's Dream

Discerning cigar aficionados value craftsmanship. Les Fines Lames delivers that in spades. Each cutter is a limited-production piece, hand-assembled in France. The brand also offers engraving options and themed editions, like samurai-inspired blades or exotic wood inlays. For collectors, this isn’t just a tool — it’s an heirloom. Many pair it with premium accessories like a cigar ashtray or a Spanish cedar humidor to complete their ritual.

The Art of Cigar Cutting with Les Fines Lames

How It Works

Unlike guillotine cutters, Les Fines Lames uses a folding knife-style blade with a built-in semi-circle that guides your cigar’s cap perfectly. This ensures an even, controlled slice every time. It’s suitable for most cigar ring gauges, making it versatile for every smoke in your humidor.

Blade Maintenance Tips

To maintain razor-sharp performance:

• Wipe the blade clean after each use
• Sharpen periodically with a whetstone or send for professional honing
• Store it in a leather sheath to avoid nicks or corrosion
