Most important question is your price range. The cutter and lighter I would suggest for $1000 is much different than for $100.

I like cigar scissors for cutting cigars; traditional and works with just about all ring gauges (prices from $20 to 600+). Many of the older guillotine cutter were made for 50 and less gauge cigars. Guillotine is my next pick after scissors and look for one that can be taken apart for sharpening & cleaning. I have a cheaper pair of scissors and works 95% as good as my friend's big dollar Davidoff scissors. Finishing is certainly different.

Cheap lighter... Bic or cedar strips do just as well as ST Dupont or Dunhill (may not look as cool).
