I had similar issues until I was counseled by a wise FOG.

Make sure you pay attention to your cut. Apply sliight downward pressure toward the head of the cigar for a razor sharp cut.

I had the same issue you did David. The rough cut I was getting was due to pulling away from the cigar as the cut was being made.
