Haso Taiji Cigar Cutter Coming to U.S. Retailers This Month
The Haso Taiji Cigar Cutter is set to make its U.S. debut this month, as Arango Cigar Co., which is distributing the cutter in the country, said that the first shipments will head to stores next week.
It is a dual-blade cutter that is inspired by the taiji philosophy, which has its roots in China and is often represented by the black and white yin and yang symbol. Housed in an aluminum die-cast body, the stainless steel blades are capable of cutting cigars with up to a 60 ring gauge. Those blades are released by a slip-resistant button and guided by a synchronized action mechanism to allow for one-handed operation that a press release described as being “effortless and easy cuts.” This helps lessen the chance of jamming the cutter or damaging the cigar.
It is offered in five colors: black, blue, green, red, and a black and red combination. Each version has an MSRP of $100.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
