I used a buddy's last week, he had the carbon fiber one.

Its beautiful, sharp, and feels great in your hand, but I <3 my Palios.

If it's anywhere near as good as the X8 you'll be happy. I LOVE the X8 and it's a great price.

I am the proud owner of a Xikar ZX carbon fiber cutter. The carbon fiber is indeed real, the action is precise and smooth, and the blades are
shockingly sharp.

Perfect cut every time - no shards of tobacco in my mouth.

If you watch the Monster they have them for about 15. I have a palio that was my first " real " cutter and I love it. I now have 3 X8s that I find myself using more.

Default Re: XIKAR ZX Ultra Slim Cutter

As you probably know by now, XIKAR's cutters and lighters have the best and world-renown lifetime warranty...lifetime not 30, 60, 90days, or 1-year warranty! Lifetime! The new ZX Ultra Slim Cutter, the new X8 cutter and the new V-Cut are getting a lot of consumer attention. Word on the street is....awesome products. Great cut, great feel, and a fair price. Thanks for listening Bob M, XIKAR guy.

Maybe you should post an introduction before proclaiming the benefits of a particular product...

Yeah, that sounds like salesman speak. Lighten it up a little, I'm not wearing my boots today!

The Xikar products look nice, but they are expensive. If you can afford it and don't care, go for it. Me? I'm cheap. I bought a Cohiba triple torch Butane lighter for $14.95 (some Internet dealers want $39.95!) and its a great lighter for the money. It ALWAYS works. I do use Xikar Butane fuel in it instead of the Wally World Ronson fuel and I've had no problems.

Of course, you can always buy cheaper lighters from Buylighters.com. They offer free shipping! Dave, the same guy that owns Cheaphumidors.com is the owner of that website too. Right now Cheaphumidors.com is selling some Butane lighters for $9.99! Buylighters.com are a couple bucks more because of the "Free Shipping".

You don't have to spend a fortune to get a good light! I won't spend 40 or 50 bucks on a lighter, but I wanted something a little nicer looking than the industrial look $9.99 lighters, so the Cohiba works for me.



Cheers,


Mike T.
