The Sudopo Scorpion Table Top Cigar Cutter offers both straight (guillotine) and V-cut options. Always ensure your fingers are clear of the cutting blades during operation.

2. Insert Cigar: Gently insert the cap of the cigar into the chosen hole. Ensure the cigar is held firmly and straight.
3. Operate Lever: With one hand holding the cigar steady, firmly pull down the operating lever with the other hand. The blade will descend, making a clean, straight cut.
4. Release: Once the cut is complete, release the lever to return it to its upright position. Remove the cigar.

3.2. V-Cut

The V-shaped slot is designed to create a precise V-cut, which can enhance the draw of certain cigars.

1. Insert Cigar: Carefully insert the cap of your cigar into the V-shaped slot. Ensure the cigar is centered and held securely.
2. Operate Lever: Firmly pull down the operating lever. The V-blade will descend, creating a clean V-cut in the cigar cap.
