Fidello Cigar Cutter

[Bill86]

For me I dislike any cutter that isn't a punch Fool proof cutter.

I kid, I try other cutters but this one just seems a bit too gimmicky. I don't even really like the marketing, "helps you control the draw". I dunno how that makes any sense, maybe It's just me. But they do like to say it quite often. They don't even really explain how or why this MIGHT be possible.

To sum it up Mario, I think everyone is only judging it to say "I won't buy this". If these were somehow made available to try......I could see myself using it once or twice out of curiosity. I'm sure most others would try it out as well.

Or like you said if they were free with a purchase......

But as far as shelling out the $40+ these were commanding (for the non-crappy plastic model) I think most people like the tried and true cutters they already have.

Also I gather this thing isn't exactly as compact as a Palio or Xikar punch.



EDIT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5duc...eature=related Watch that . Notice how he misspelled the name of it in the video upload Bonus points. Again I cannot trust a product with that kinda marketing....

They could just say that.

Agreed. Free is free.

Agreed. I would NOT dish out $40 without trying this first. I don't know that I'd like it. I don't see it being something great, but I don't know, so I don't dis it. Judging something without accurate information can be a very ugly thing.

Agreed. It doesn't look as compact as either of those two cutters. IF I had one, I'd probably just keep it in my herf box.

After watching a couple of you tube videos I can see where the claim to draw control lies. If the head is squeezed down on, it opens the slits up which in theory lets out more smoke. This makes sense, and since there are six slits, it should let out a decent amount of smoke depending on how pressure is applied. When the pressure is releases it should let out less smoke. I'm sure this method does allow for draw control. Not that I really care much about controlling my draw once the damned thing is already cut. Who knows, perhaps after trying one I would be anal about draw control henceforth. For now I don't know because I have never tried one. However, I refuse to simply write it off "just because."

Youtube is awesome, gems like this would otherwise go unnoticed.

No $hit.
He sounds like a snake oil salesman.

Glad we got a wonderfully blurry close up of the cigar.

I'm sorry. Wouldn't the draw on the cigar be predominantly determined by the construction and, to a lesser degree, the storage? The cutter creates a perfect draw??!?!?! Nothing a guillotine, punch or scissors wouldn't accomplish.

I wouldn't waste $5 on that gimmick. Unless of course it magically enlarges the sweet spot.

"I want it? I gotta have it?"
I don't think so.
