AXE — the tool every aficionado should have in their pocket

Sold in a pack of 2, delivered in a gift box.

When to use the AXE piercing pen? Three typical situations: (1) the cigar has a hard draw from the start — it was rolled too tightly; (2) the draw blocks during smoking due to an internal tobacco knot; (3) you want to test the draw of a cigar before cutting it. In all three cases, the AXE intervenes without altering the wrapper or the flavor profile.
Ideal complement to your cigar cutter: the AXE piercing pen does not replace the cigar cutter — it complements it. Some enthusiasts pierce first to test the draw, then cut afterward. Others use the poker exclusively on cigars they wish to keep the wrapper intact along its entire length.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a cigar piercing pen used for?
The piercing pen is used to correct draw issues without cutting or damaging the cigar. Three main uses: aerating an overly tight cigar by creating an internal airflow channel, unclogging a cigar blocked by a tobacco knot, or testing the draw before deciding how to cut. It is the essential troubleshooting tool every aficionado should have on hand.
Does the AXE piercing pen damage the cigar?
No — that is precisely its advantage over a new cut. The metal tip gently penetrates the cigar's internal structure by displacing the tobacco rather than removing it. The wrapper remains intact along its entire length, and the flavor profile is not altered. The channel created is fine and targeted.
Why is the AXE sold in a set of 2?
Two practical reasons: to have one poker in the humidor and one in the travel case, or to share the set with a smoking companion. Both pens are identical — same 14.7 cm length, same metal, same finish. The chosen color applies to both pokers in the set.
Does the piercing pen replace the cigar cutter?
No — it complements it. The cigar cutter remains the primary tool for preparing the head of the cigar before lighting. The piercing pen intervenes as a supplement: to test the draw before cutting, to correct a faulty draw after cutting, or for enthusiasts who prefer to enjoy their cigars pierced rather than cut.
Is the AXE delivered in a gift box?
Yes — the set of 2 AXE piercing pens is delivered in a neat gift box, ready to gift. It is an original cigar gift set for an aficionado who already owns the classic accessories — and who will appreciate this precision tool that they might not have thought to buy for themselves.
