New Cutter

Fourtotheflush

I need to grow up and buy a new cutter. I prefer a double blade, but wouldnt be opposed to a punch. I have a double blade that I picked up at my B&M for about 10 that works, but its not the best. What say ye on punch V cutter and what type/brand?

Honestly - get a XIKAR guillotine cutter... The Xi2 is really the best I have seen. Then get one of these lighters that have a built in punch if you want or pick one up on CigarBid for $4-$5... The Xikar can run you from $20 to $40 but it is well worth the price as the warranty is amazing - they can always sharpen it for free and they send you a nice leather sheath for it. Definitely worth the investment!

xikar can run you up to $400 if you let it.

I love my Xi 2 I got a few months ago, you can't beat the warranty they have on them. But, if you do go with a punch, the ones on the bottom of lighters aren't a bad way to go, you can't ever forget it if you bring your lighter everywhere.

I use a Xikar 007 Punch, it is great when you want a punch. When I bought it, it came with a free Xikar Mean Sardine (I think they go for around $9 by themselves) and I use it and most of my cigars. I have a XI2, but I almost always use either the Sardine or the 007.

I have an old one that was given to me by my dad, but it's duller than a 95 year old guy's sex life so I go with my Xi 2.

Until recently I only used a double blade. I bought a punch and I love it for the larger ring size cigars. I would like to try a V cutter before I buy one.

Did you guys see on the churchil thread link that he poked holes in the head of his cigar with match sticks! Funny!

If you want a nice cutter for less than a fortune I suggest cuban crafters, they make good quality, heavy, solid cutters (mostly double guillotine, all stainless steel), they work great and you can get them for like 15-20 bucks on their website without shipping. They all come with a lifetime no-questions warranty as well, I haven't had mine for that long but so far I love it.

A Delta Unisaw works in a pinch....Kinda pricey, though..
