Abstract: A cigar cutter has a housing with a cigar tip receiving hole. A blade having a cutting edge and a longitudinal sliding axis engages the housing such that the blade is longitudinally slidable downwardly so that the cutting edge crosses the receiving hole. The cutting edge has an upwardly-pointing V-shape with serrations there-along, the serrations being aligned with the longitudinal sliding of the blade so that inserting a cigar tip into the receiving hole and forceably sliding the cutting edge downwardly across the receiving hole and the cigar tip will force the serrations into the cigar tip without side-to-side sawing of the cigar by the serrations. The blade may further have a forwardly-pointing V-shape.
