Palios pinch the web between my thumb and forefinger and make me bleed and curse. Strangely, that adds nothing positive to my cigar experience.

BTW, I usually [unch smaller RG's, or I just don't put as much cigar into it. Just because it has the plate, doesn't mean you have to use it.

Well, they do use three times the fuel...

I prefer a single flame for most occasions. Unless I've going camping or something, then I bring the triple flame and the can of fuel. Single flame are way more accurate for touchups. Triple flames are awesome for lighting larger RG sticks, or if you're in a windy area. They both have their purposes. Ive never used a dual flame.

That thought had crossed my mind. Fortunately, it's never happened to me.

My single flame tends to burn my thumb at times, especially during the beginning torching of the foot.

I have two friends that have the same cutter and swear by it. I have a similar Liga cutter from from a Drew Estates event but prefer either my Palio or Xi2 from Xikar.

You could get a single flame that fires away from the ignitor button thingy (that is the technical term, right?). I don't think I could burn my thumb with mine. Incredibly helpful when lighting up after a few (or more) brewskies.

I have the one above as well as this one http://www.amazon.com/Cuban-Crafters...7239077&sr=1-3. They both work great and I have never had any issues with them taking off too much of the cap -- but I also don't rest every cigar against the stop.

Having said that, I have a number of other cutters and I like all of them. The nice thing about the Cuban Crafters cutters is that they work very well and are very resonably priced.

I have this duel flame and it is great. Currently my favorite lighter.

Can you show me a pic of yours? All I have is 2 Ronsons and one I got at a gas station...it also burns me....maybe my thumbs are abnormally long

That's a nice one and a good review, thanks Michael

It's an el cheapo that Mattso3000 hooked me up with. But the flame comes nowhere near my thumb.

I'm pretty sure that Matt got these little torches off dealextreme too. Here's the link:

Yeah, he said he just got 10 of them in the mail....I need to look at that site more, but I'm a litttle apprehensive about ordering any lighters in case they are junk, I guess they are good for bombs though.

mkarnold1 · 09-28-2011, 03:03 PM

It's working great so far. Not sure for how long, but at $2.70 you can afford a few.

aaron72 · 09-28-2011, 03:12 PM

I have this Cuban Crafters cutter and I'm a little disappointed with it. It's tough to get both blades to move together on mine, so one blade is more dominant and takes the cigar from the center of the opening. I think there may just be too much play in the blades and they don;t stay completely parallel with the rest of the cutter.

Is yours the plastic one too?
