Hmmm, what kind of cutter do you currently use and how do you hold it? I've found a good cutter makes a huge difference. Most here will tell you to get Xikar, they are apparently great when it comes to their lifetime warranty. I have a Xikar that I usually use. I also have a freebie Colibri that I've found does a nice job too. I also had a 'more expensive' Colibri that I think I would've been better using sandpaper to do the job!!! Also, I read somewhere to hold the cutter in your palm, rather than your finger tips. You have more strength that way. Lastly, I've read to sort of apply pressure on the cigar towards the cutter when cutting. I'm still no master, but I've at least stopped ruining cigars trying to cut them

Easy method, which I thank Kuzi for: Put the cutter flat on a surface like a table. Put the cap into the cutter. Cut. The distance between the table and the blade should be nearly perfect every time.

I would go with a xikar cutter. They have an excellent warranty and are super sharp.

Good luck getting people to focus their replies on just that particular cutter. See the answers you've gotten so far? LOL Use the search function and search for old threads around here about that very cutter. I know I remember reading those. Just ask if you need help to show you how to locate old threads. I'll see if I can post a link or two. I'm not one of those guys that gripes when a fresh question is posted on a subject that's already been discussed before but there may be some good info for you in those old threads.

I was gifted my Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter by a BOTL here. I love mine! It could be a little more sharp. But honestly... I get a great cut 95-99% of the time. The bad cuts are of my own fault for not keeping the cigar firmly in the cutter while cutting. I would highly recommend it.
