Any other suggestions (top one or two for the beginner) as to which cigars would be wise in which to invest?
Also, I need a cutter and a lighter. I am set on the lighter, but am confused as to which type of cutter to get. I see more guillotines floating around than any other type, which would make it seem to me as though they are the most widely bought. Are there any issues with specific cutters regarding the condition of the cigar once cut?
Thank you in advance for the input! |
I've had expensive Duponts and a flashy Zino cutter. They're both gone or not working. The cheapo plastic cutters are well.. cheap crap. However, the
cuban crafters steel (guillotine) one is super cheap (like $20) sharp, and will help you judge how deep to cut. Plus it has a lifetime replacement warranty. It's not fancy looking, but def worth at try. And yes, a guillotine is most common in the US. Try it, then if you want can pick up a nice punch to hang on your key chain later. Good scissors are expensive, a pain and not good for travel, the v-cut... well not my thing, for sure.
FYI, Colibri has terrible support around their lighters. Look for something you can get repaired easily.
