Recommend me a cutter
 

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.

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

My cutter and flame.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

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

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

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

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

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

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Ha, true. Didn't think of that Bob :)

See my first post, Palio

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

I have seen some nice bands!

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

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

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

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

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

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

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:
