The Lotus Group is now shipping an all-in-one cutter under its Vertigo brand.

Called the Vertigo Omni Twin Cutter, the new accessory is designed with four different cutting options: the first blade is a double guillotine cutter that will cut cigars up to 64-ring gauge, while the second option is an “extra deep” v-cutter that is also able to cut 64-ring gauge cigars. Both of those stainless steel blades are attached to a spring-loaded tray that also locks into place inside of the metal housing of the cutter.

The Omni also features two different-sized punch blades that fold out of the ends of the cutter: an 8mm punch is located on the top of the cutter’s body, while a smaller 6mm punch blade extends from the bottom of the cutter. According to Lotus, there are five different exterior color options, all with the same MSRP of $99.95: black, chrome, gunmetal, orange and red.

In an email, Rosemary Sharp, president of the Lotus Group, told halfwheel that all five versions of the Omni began shipping to retailers yesterday. April 18.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
