What kind of cutter do you have?

Xikar xi2.

Started with a generic guillotine cutter but recently got one of the Xikar MTX multitools and really like it a lot. Allows you to get a very nice and precise cut.

I have a generic V-cutter and a generic double guillotine very similar to this one

A real nice cutter is my next cigar-related purchase. I'm just unsure which one I want yet.

i have a Xikar Xi2 in bloodstone as my main cutter

Mephisto:

I've been using the punch on my lighter lately.

I 'm using a punch mor and more lately. I have one on my keychain, and you can't cut off too much with a punch. They also give you a really nice draw. The only problem is that if the cigar is a little too dry, you can split the end pretty easy, which gets kind of messy later on.

Palio, and dozens of other cheapy guillotines.

XiKar MTX Multitool. its where its at for sure.

Cuban Crafters and Xikar:

After seeing this thread and giving it some thought, I just ordered a xi3 with zebrawood. It'll match my humi! But I didn't know some of those cutters were so expensive!! Mammoth ivory?! Holy crap

i have a xikar xi1, xikar v cut which i find myself using more and more, and a cuban crafter perfecto cutter which i recommend

scarlin:

Xikar whores unite!

Answering your call! LOL Xikar Xi2, Xikar V cutter and Xikar multi-tool here... depends on what Im smoking and what mood Im in. Xikar - accept NO substitutes!!!

I have a Beachwood Xikar my fiance then GF bought for me. It is pretty but the wood likes to slide off, and as my everyday I have a black X1 Xikar

These are my go-to cutters...

1. Cuban Crafters Perfect Cut
2. Self-sharpened V-cut (just a cheap generic that I sharpened... cuts awesome now. Love it for coronas.
3. Bullet Punches. (They are empty case of a 40 cal., 35 Rem., and a 8mm that flash318 sharpened for me)



I also have a black Perfect Cut that I keep in my big herf-a-dor and a couple other cheap-os laying around the house... but these are the ones I use daily. No complaints out of any of them.

Direwolf:

I gotta pick me up a punch.. Had a stick someone traded me that was already punched. I enjoyed the draw on it. While I'm at it might as well buy a vcut too.. Give them all a try.

that's the great thing about punches/v-cuts... you can pick em up on the cheap just to try em out. Sure, the cheap ones won't perform like a xikar punch or v-cut, but they will give you an idea of if you like the style and want to invest in nice ones.

matter of fact, if you know how to sharpen punches and v-cuts... you can get my entire set up in that picture for less than $20 and be set for years! (a lifetime with the Cuban Crafters, actually, as they have an amazing, no excuses replacement warranty!)
