Recommend me a cutter

[Heavy_d]

Ok, my cheap little cutter I picked up at the b&m when I was first getting started in cigars is getting a little too dull, it's getting to the point where it's ripping more than cutting. So, I figure if I'm going to keep with this great little hobby, I owe it to myself and my cigars to invest in a decent cutter. The problem is, I'm not sure what to get. So I figured I'd do the smart thing and see what the more experienced B/S OTL recommend. I just have two criteria, 1) Decent quality. It doesn't have to be solid gold w/ laser sharpened titanium blades, but I'd like it to last, and 2) relatively inexpensive. I know you get what you pay for, but I'm cheap.

Thanks for the help.

Palio! They start around $30.00 and are well worth the money.

Look no more this is my all time favorite cutter American made Life Time Warranty and an amazing blade on it..

although many will also love the Xikar Xi cutters also a heck of a cutter and very well made life time Warranty and American made its your choice but you wont go wrong with either of these

These Savoy's look nice, yet to try one but cheaper than Palio.

they're not bad, but not as good as a palio (or xikar depending on your style preference). I'd suggest just buying one of the other suggested cutters, you won't regret it

Palio or a Xikar X8...can't go wrong with either one.

You're recommending something based on looks?????:sh
Kind of like buying a cigar based on the nice band. :td

Palio, the last cutter you will buy. :tu:tu

Since no one has mentioned it yet... Palio.

Derek...PM me your address and I will send you a Xikar X8. :D

[Conch Republican]

Good call Mac...Derek, Hit me with yours and I will send a Palio...then you can pay it forward!

[CigarNut]

Both Palio and Xikar make good cutters and you cannot go wrong with either one. Both use excellent steel for their blades. My only issue is that the holes on the Palio (and Xikar X8) are small for my fat fingers, so I prefer the Xikar Xi cutters:

Smart move these guys think they are tricky... best advice I can give you is keep your addy hidden if you don't want to be blown apart, Only a select few have mine and I'm keeping it that way!!! -(P

I didn't realize Huy filed his teeth.
Explains a lot, really.

[Adriftpanda]

[T.G]

It works better than the Savoys, I'll give you that.

I have heard if a cigar has TWO bands it's really really good!

Oh jeebus, Derek you better run and hide.......or move, yeah definitely move. :r

Palio, however I have a feeling you won't need a thing once Mac get's done with you......:gary

I didn't have a choice, he threatened to bomb the entire Eastern part of KY until he hit me if I didn't give my addy. At least this way I localize the damage.

I've happily used Palio and Xikar for many years but I think the cuban crafter perfect cutter best fits your criteria and can be had for about $15. I've been using the CC cutters more than my palio and Xikars since I got em

The perfect cutter is pretty great.

The Savoys look nicer, ooooh shiny....

And there you have it.

Hmm, the mailbox flag is up, I must have mail.

Looks like Mac got me good, not only did he send me a new cutter, but he sent along a few sticks to "practice on". Thanks again Mac, I really appreciate it.

Nice job Mac!!!

[big_jaygee]

:r :r

NICE!!

[goatfarmer]

Have both Palio and Xikar and tend to prefer the Palio; find visitors tend to have a problem using the Xikar, mostly because not use to it. Had the Palio couple years when the blade separated from the housing and it was replaced with no questions asked. The 1 cutter I have not come across; used yet, is the wedge type.

Nice hit Mac!!!! Stand up guy... Remind me never to ask Mac about Maduros!!! LOL
