Re: Shuriken cutter
Dynamite!
Was wondering exactly how this cutter worked. Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll buy one and put it in my drawer next to my Xikar scissors. I've been using a chainsaw for years but I'm running out of fingers.... Two Guys has them for $19.99 if anyone is interested.

Re: Shuriken cutter
I am really interested to know this. What if it was say, Palio or Xikar that introduced this new style cutter. Would people be more excited and willing to buy?
To me it would not matter, I used a razor blade to memic this style cut and was not happy with it. But I am curious to know if people's opinions would change based on brand power alone. |

Re: Shuriken cutter
Looks interesting but I've hade my Xikar for over 10 years and it has never cut wrong. As sharp as the day I got it. I've dropped it a thousand times... I haven't even oiled it as recomened. Old faithful.

Re: Shuriken cutter
based on the fact that B&M owner i know, who smokes at least 3 cigars pretty much every day, has experienced that the cigars cut with this cutter do burn cooler than cigars cut with a guillotine or something else (and he's not a speed smoker) and that his experience is that it does create a more flavorful smoke...and that i'm a sucker for collecting accessories...i've already ordered this from one of his stores.
it's only $19.99 for the plastic-cased edition so i don't feel like i'm committing a lot. based on the fact that this is actually a "new" way to cut cigars and that it works to cut the cigars pretty much means those crying "gimmick" are incorrect. to each their own, but since this has worked for very experienced cigar smokers i can't wait to try it! |

Though being that he profits by selling them, it does raise the question of "would be say they suck"?

Re: Shuriken cutter
Probably not, although he could up-sell you to a more pricey cutter.
He must at least PARTIALLY believe in the thing if he isn't trying to push you into a $50 Xi or Palio. Or maybe he tries to guess everyones budget based on actions and just says everything in the shop is good It's really hard to guess peoples motivation.

Re: Shuriken cutter
Based on the fact that the definition of 'gimmick' is "An innovative or unusual mechanical contrivance; a gadget." then yes, it is a gimmick. And based on the fact that it is, in fact, a gimmick doesn't, in fact, make it a bad thing.
Based on those facts, I think it may just be fact that it's all subjective.

Re: Shuriken cutter
My dollar cutter has worked just fine for the last 10 years while the pallio, firebird, xikar and 10 other cutters all sit in the cabinet along with 20 lighters that I just had to have

Re: Shuriken cutter
Its the same with lighters. Some prefer a soft flame, others a torch or ceder strip. Its not that one is better or worse, but just a personal preference just like cutters. Use what fits your budget and what works for you.
