If you want a good pair of scissors, my advice would be to pick up a set of Xikar MTX scissors. I was gifted a set of the triple blade, cut all sides at once kind, and the only thing it did for me was tear the wrapper...not saying that's the norm, but you can probably guess how many times I used them after that.
I'm really tempted to try scissors just because of their coolness factor, but I usually smoke large ring gauges - the smallest I smoke is 54, and when I check the Xikar site, the largest recommended gauge for the MXT is 54

It might say that, but I can assure you the MTX scissors will cut a 60 with ease...that is, if you cut a cigar like I do, I only take a sliver off the top, enough to expose the fillers.

+1 on only a sliver..I used to own the xikar. loved it, very handy tool. suprised about the 54 max, as I remember using those on the bigger ring sticks when the guiolltine i had was too small.
