I don't NEED it...

I don't WANT it...

I would probably NEVER use it...

But I will probably have one before the end of the year.

This hobby treads on the threshold of obsession, methinks.

Battling Bruce with a variety of cutters and massive biceps.

I too love the NUB maduro, just saying.

I do like to see people reinventing the wheel though, keeps it interesting. Even if it isn't the greatest idea. I'm not gonna buy one of these but I say keep the ideas rolling in.

Everyone's saying 'I've already got something that does the job'... Well, I certainly had no problem finding a way to light a cigar before torch-flame lighters hit the market, but I wouldn't trade my torch-flame lighter for anything. Yes, good cigar cutters exist (the Palio is great), but that just means the challenge now isn't to find 'the only way', but to find 'a better way'.

Anybody ever skeptical of a specially-shaped wine or whisky glass?

... and then you tried one.

I've been using the X-acto cutter in my pencil jar on my desk. Amazingly enough, it makes the best cut I've ever found. I think they're 8 bucks, blades are replaceable, and they work great for opening cigar boxes without wrecking the seals.
I only do this because I don't know where any of my cutters are. There's one in the car, but I'm not going out there to get it.

Behold la'innovaccionne!!!

I have used one of these cutters for about four months. In hindsight, every cigar cut with a guillotine, a punch, or a v-cut, has been waste.

I cut about three cigars before I got the hang of it. Now, when I pull out a 50 or bigger, I reach for this cutter instead of a guillotine or a punch.

I do not smoke anything under 50 so I cannot tell you how cigars with different cuts compare.

I can taste a difference though. The six slits provide a cooler, more even draw compared to the guillotine. Unlike the punch, I can smoke any 50 or wider cigar down to about a half an inch without losing any taste or suffering tar issues.

Side note: with the six blade cutter or the punch, I have never had a tar problem. I guess I am lucky.

As to the enthusiasts who use Xcto knives, more power to you. My hands are not steady enough nor do have I have the patience to wield such an instrument to cut a cigar. Instead, I will use my six blade cutter to achieve a potentially similar effect.

Clearly not worth the investment!

Well, considering I own 6 Palios that work just fine in my opinion, I dont see a need to look further.

So, how long have you worked for the company?

Out of curiousity, why would you say every cigar you ever cut with another cutter was a waste?
