sadly yeah at least for medr_frankenstein56:90+ Irishman:
Tried it. For me it either turned the cap into spilled cat guts (read totaled cap) or it didn't cut deep enough and had a terrible draw. The theory and idea is awesome but it never once worked halfway decent for me. Just my two cents though.dr_frankenstein56:11rocket11:I use my Xikar Xi cutter, if I forget that I use a punch. Just out of curiosity, has anybody used a Shuriken? If so what do you think?
im curious as well about that 6 blade shuriken too.... Looks neat as hell

figures it would be a gimmick... looks damn cool though!

a punch for most cigars, a v cut for a boxed press, and a slanted guillotine cut for torpedo's.

Whats everybodys opinion on the single blade style of cutter that has a replaceable "box cutter" style of razor blade?
I like the idea of easily changing the blade and its damn bloody sharp being a razor.

Where online can I get a look at one of those? Sounds interesting.dr_frankenstein56:Whats everybodys opinion on the single blade style of cutter that has a replaceable "box cutter" style of razor blade?

Bob Luken:Usually a straight cut with a Xikar Xi2. Sometimes a punch. One day I'll try a v-cut.
Found that a really good and sharp knife does as good, or better, then the actual tool. -

I cant find a link myself, I seen one at my last herf... I was curious if you gentlemen could shed some light on it. was real basic though... almost looked too cheap... but damn did it cut nice with the razor blade.

A serrated steak knife. Need to sharpen it though.

It's been a while but I have used a razor blade on more than one occasion, rotate the cigar against the blade and pop the cap!
