My late husband and I had spoken quite often about publishing one day a catalogue about antique cigar cutters, showing our and other collections. Because he could not come true with his wish any more, I want to fulfill at least a part of it. The collection showing here was gathered over many years with best effort and a lot of love. Today a part of our cigar cutters are in other loving collector hands - owned by collectors scattered all over the world. But for just one time they will be - at least a big part of them - united in this book again.
