Fidello Cigar Cutter

[Fuzzy]

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.
