This cigar cutter is S.T. Dupont’s famous Cohiba collection merging two of the very best brands in the cigar world, from France and South America, for the cigar aficionados and connoisseurs.

The esteemed S.T. Dupont is a French manufacturing company based in Paris, which has been making luxury goods since its founding in 1872. Products include handbags, lighters, collectible pens, perfumes, cigarettes (made by Philip Morris International), and cigar humidors and accessories in collaboration with the world famous South American Cohiba cigars brand.

Simon Tissot-Dupont (born in Savoy in 1847) founded a carriage company which was destroyed in a fire in 1872. The same year, he bought a workshop which made leather briefcases for diplomats and businessmen. In 1884, Dupont became the supplier to one of the world's largest shops – Les Grands Magasins du Louvre – while maintaining his private clientele.

Dupont handed over his company in 1919 to his sons, Lucien and André, who, trading under the name of Les Fils de S.T. Dupont (the Sons of S.T. Dupont), relaunched the activity. They focused on high-quality travel cases and accessories. Craftsmen were employed and patents were taken out to protect industrial secrets. 250 workers and 17 separate traders were involved in the manufacture, including goldsmiths, woodworkers, engravers, leather craftsmen, lacquer workers, and locksmiths.

S.T. Dupont transferred its workshops from rue Dieu in Paris back to the family's hometown of Faverges in Savoy in 1924. In 1929, Lucien Tissot-Dupont was invited to New York by Louis Cartier to present his travel cases in their 5th Avenue shop. On the ship going to New York, he learned about the Wall Street crash. In response, on his subsequent return to Paris, he decided to move even further upmarket and cater to clients unaffected by the crash.

The Cohiba brand is top of the line of the world’s most renowned cigar and cigar humidor marks and is considered the greatest cigar name in the world. It is unique in that it began as a national company, as opposed to being nationalised from private ownership. In fact, the company was originally exclusively supplying the president with cigars. Their cigars were first released for public sale in 1982, and have since become the biggest name in the cigar world.

This company is the flagship of cigars. It was created in 1966 for the president himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world famous, El Laguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside his country as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. Since 1982 it has been available in limited quantities to the open market. The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of the Caribbean islands, the earliest known form of a cigar.

Through such constant innovation this brand has held its position at the leading edge of the cigar world. It was also the first brand to offer a Reserva cigar in 2002 and a Gran Reserva in 2009.
