It is most certainly worth the price. A perfect cut everytime, lifetime guarantee and very good quality. You will not be disappointed. Xikar is a great company offering great customer service. I believe you get what you pay for.
I just got the MTX scissor cutter/multi tool. this thing kicks ass. it folds up so its easy to keep in your pocket and i dig the idea of the lifetime warranty to. it was 33 bucks but in my mind it was worth it.
have had the xi3 for a couple of weeks. Sure, it is new so the blades are sharp, but honestly I don't see where it cuts any better than the $6 cheapo I started out with. I also agree with the other guys who have mentioned how you have to re-open it to clean out the blade area after every cut - that takes approx. 20 seconds away from my day...lol
i had a chance to use on at my local shop. they just started to sell xikar recently. it was a big improvement over the cheaper one i had on my key chain. ....and i just bought that one.
I have the Xi2 cutter, but I actually don't own a punch. When I do get one I'm going to get the larger ring gauge Xikar punch I saw at my local B&M the other day.
Aswered like a tough guy who does nothing but replies sarcastically to somebodies opinion...be it different from their own.
I'm glad you like your Xikar... I have one... and several punches and cigar scissors and have been smoking cigars for over 10 years now. So I'll nip this in the bud... I'm 35 years old and not a college student... like I said earlier, spend your money on cigars.
If you want to continue this further, send me a PM and we'll exchange chest thumping cigar stories big man. Save your sarcasm for some puss who will take it laying down.
I've alway got a loose edge when I cut with my Xikar, never happened with my cheap one. Don't use the Xikar anymore.

haha, yeah I too feel this way but after you use it for a long time it still cuts the same. that is where it shines. I've had mine for almost a year (i3) and I've cut at least a hundred or so cigars and it still cuts wonderfully.
Not interested in thumping chests guys. Also not interested in making a simple comment and being labeled as a novice with a smart reply. My post of "No, buy cigars instead" says it all. Simple, my opinion. All of a sudden I am a cheap college student smoking white owls and cutting them with my teeth? Sounded like a joke...?
Nevetheless I'm over it. I guess opinions other than Kuzi's don't matter. So I guess go spend 40 to 70 bucks on a Xikar. I'll buy some smokes with my money and rip off the cap with my teeth!

Wow...someone has a huge chip on their shoulder. Kuzi can stick up for himself just fine, but you might wanna get to know someone before you go start bashing people.
Lassy,
As Hays just stated, very well said Lassy. Besides being our resident wit, you also seem to be a wise man. Makes me glad I'm part of this forum.

Thanks Kas, pm back.
I'll be a little more informative next time about why I don't like things... I guess short and sweet isn't sweet at all.
Thanks for the link Kuzi... nice post lasabar... now... going to smoke a swisher sweet and a black and mild..... whilst I read economics 101...hehe.

eh, everyone around here is an ass, but most of us like asses... lol. BTW I too would rather spend 70 bucks on cigars rather than a cutter, but I do believe that a good cutter will benifit you in the long run. I at one time went through many cheap cutters because after a few cigars they would start to cause imperfections in the cut and or pull filling or rip the cap.
after many failed "cheap" cutters I am about ready to pull the trigger and get a Xikar. But Jeff says he has a nice cutter that he is going to throw in with my order, hopefully it does the trick. If not, it's Xikar time.
As much as I like my Xikar, I've found myself going back to a standard double guillotine cutter recently...something about the way it functions is more comfortable to me and gives me a more reliable cut.
