It seems wierd, I wouldn't mind trying one. I would not want to carry it around in my pocket though.

Ooo... Could you imagine reaching into your pocket and putting your finger inside of it? Ouch!

Did that when trying to clean my Keurig coffee maker once, won't do it again. Besides it looking like a terd in your pocket, you are right if the lid was off you could slice the crap outta your finger.

"Is that a Fidello cigar cutter in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" ...It's a Fidello cigar cutter!

I don't know how a few slits in the head of the cigar will work like a cut or punch. I guess It's something I'll have to see first hand, but I'm happy with my Palio and I don't see me switching anytime soon. I did see that CI is selling these now. Noticed it comes free with purchases of $99 or more.

That's the way one came to me. I tried not to like it, but I do. I tend to chew on my cigars and when a sloppy cut is made there have been some sticks that start to un-wrap. Surprisingly, the draw is good, too. here is the cut after halh way point of a smoke.

This is how I got mine as well, I am going to give it the old college try tonight. Don't worry I will have a backup just in case it doesn't work.

Having used the Fidello on at least 20 sticks, mostly my favorite full strength Robustos with a Gordo or 2 in the mix, I like the way it cuts. I cut a couple of sticks in advance if going out because I don't want to carry the lump in my pocket.

Have found that not pushing the cigar all the way in works better for me. I look at the cap of whatever stick needs to be cut, and then push the stick in the Fidello a skosh more that what I think the cap depth is. In other words, I use the S.W.A.G. method of cutting.

Honestly, between this and the Shuriken, I would rather use a kitchen knife.

However, a Palió remains my top choice for a cutter.

Proper cutting is a learned skill, and I would imagine this product won't last long (Cigar Spike, anyone?)

I'm with Ted on this one.

The picture of that cap looks a little wierd to me -- almost like it's been lacquered or varnished.

In any case, if the cutter works for you, that's great for you! For me personally, I don't think that this kind of cutter would work very well.

I use both guillotine cutters and punches (Xikar, Palio, etc.) and they both work very well for me.

The thing I am wondering about is what happens if the cigar is plugged? Also this wont work on figurados.

[dwoodward]

The end of your cigar looks like a raisin... Are you sure only only chew a little? lol

[Aporschaguy]

Looks inetesting. Not sure if I'd buy it though.

[SteveH]

Interesting.....But I don't like carrying a ton of stuff. Im sure that a pigtail would get annoying; and no dice on belicosos...

[CigarSquid]

I would try it.. I didn't see it online to buy it.. Im a sucker for some things like that. I love my punch... Might be hard to pull me away from that...
