Why The Marquis

The cut for a fuller draw

Wedge V-Cut

A deep, angled channel that concentrates the draw where a flat cut cannot.

Shoulders Left Intact

The wedge opens the cap without cutting into the body, so the wrapper stays put.

Single Sprung Action

One stroke drives the blade home and returns it, ready for the next cut.

Ready to Gift

Arrives in a lacquered box with a cotton dust bag and a certificate of authenticity.

Guaranteed for Life

We repair rather than replace. An object meant to be handed down.

The Problem

A flat cut is not always the right one

On a thick ring gauge or a tightly rolled cigar, a straight cut can loosen the cap or open the draw too far. The result is a cigar that burns hot or unravels before you are halfway through.

The Solution

The Marquis takes a measured wedge

The V channel opens a concentrated path through the cap while leaving the shoulders whole. The draw is fuller and steadier, and the wrapper has nothing to peel back from.

Simple to Use

How to use The Marquis

01

Seat the cap

Rest the cap in the cradle so the blade meets the centre of the head.

02

One firm press

Squeeze once; the sprung blade takes the wedge and returns on its own.

03

Light and draw

A concentrated channel for a fuller draw, with the shoulders left intact.
