Shuriken Cutter

[Redlegsmoker]

Stopped by my local cigar shop bought a cigar and noticed them on the counter. The clerk let me try a cut on the cigar i had bought. Not impressed at all, i like the gulletine cutter or even the plug cutter a lot more.
Tough to draw and just not a good smoke.
My opionon of it.

Hmm... I was looking at them online and the devil site... almost puled the trigger on it as a "Why not" purchase...

I'm not sure what cigar you tried the cut on. I have found that there are some cigars that the Shuriken works with, and others that it fails on. Some of my past thoughts and trials can be found here (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=49656). The bottom line is that when it works, it works wonders and when it doesn't, it fails miserably. You also need to use a little finesse.

Thanks for sharing brother...I was going to purchase one of these the other week at Famous but I was not entirely sold on it...now I won't! Thank you for sharing :tu

I tried Mario's, but didnt care for it. Seemed to be a solution in search of a problem. By the end of the smoke the head was mangled. My Palio works just fine.

Looked cool but looks like I'll pass!

I tried an identical stick at the same time and it worked great. Steve's did end up mangled, though.

Mario hooked me up....I still dig the guillotine though. :)

I'm not sold on the whole, "maybe it works well or maybe it just screws up the cap on your cigar" aspect of it. I'll stick to guillotine for the most part and punch for the rest.
