Recommend me a cutter
 

Ok, my cheap little cutter I picked up at the b&m when I was first getting started in cigars is getting a little too dull, it's getting to the point where it's ripping more than cutting. So, I figure if I'm going to keep with this great little hobby, I owe it to myself and my cigars to invest in a decent cutter. The problem is, I'm not sure what to get. So I figured I'd do the smart thing and see what the more experienced B/S OTL recommend. I just have two criteria, 1) Decent quality. It doesn't have to be solid gold w/ laser sharpened titanium blades, but I'd like it to last, and 2) relatively inexpensive. I know you get what you pay for, but I'm cheap.

Thanks for the help.

Palio! They start around $30.00 and are well worth the money.

These Savoy's look nice, yet to try one but cheaper than Palio.

My cutter and flame.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

they're not bad, but not as good as a palio (or xikar depending on your style preference). I'd suggest just buying one of the other suggested cutters, you won't regret it

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Palio or a Xikar X8...can't go wrong with either one.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

You're recommending something based on looks?????:sh
Kind of like buying a cigar based on the nice band. :td

Palio, the last cutter you will buy. :tu:tu

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Ha, true. Didn't think of that Bob :)

See my first post, Palio

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

I have seen some nice bands!

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Since no one has mentioned it yet... Palio.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Derek...PM me your address and I will send you a Xikar X8. :D

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Good call Mac...Derek, Hit me with yours and I will send a Palio...then you can pay it forward!

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Both Palio and Xikar make good cutters and you cannot go wrong with either one. Both use excellent steel for their blades. My only issue is that the holes on the Palio (and Xikar X8) are small for my fat fingers, so I prefer the Xikar Xi cutters:

Another vote for Palio

I have a friend who files his teeth. Swears by it.

j/k Not really. He doesn't swear.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Xikar X8 never seen one of those... must look it up!

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Oh no, not this again! I know how you guys are, I come here looking for advice cause my cutter's dying and you kick a man while he's down. Not falling for it this time! :<

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Smart move these guys think they are tricky... best advice I can give you is keep your addy hidden if you don't want to be blown apart, Only a select few have mine and I'm keeping it that way!!! -(P

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

I didn't realize Huy filed his teeth.
Explains a lot, really.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

don't knock my cutter. :)

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

It works better than the Savoys, I'll give you that.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Says you, I'll see what Turd Ferguson says about it! :r

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

I have heard if a cigar has TWO bands it's really really good!


Palio here as well.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Oh jeebus, Derek you better run and hide.......or move, yeah definitely move. :r

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Palio, however I have a feeling you won't need a thing once Mac get's done with you......:gary

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

I didn't have a choice, he threatened to bomb the entire Eastern part of KY until he hit me if I didn't give my addy. At least this way I localize the damage.

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Take one for the team, good job D :D

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

I've happily used Palio and Xikar for many years but I think the cuban crafter perfect cutter best fits your criteria and can be had for about $15. I've been using the CC cutters more than my palio and Xikars since I got em

Looks like Mac got me good, not only did he send me a new cutter, but he sent along a few sticks to "practice on". Thanks again Mac, I really appreciate it.

Nice job Mac!!!

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

:r :r

NICE!!

Re: Recommend me a cutter
 

Have both Palio and Xikar and tend to prefer the Palio; find visitors tend to have a problem using the Xikar, mostly because not use to it. Had the Palio couple years when the blade separated from the housing and it was replaced with no questions asked. The 1 cutter I have not come across; used yet, is the wedge type.

Nice hit Mac!!!! Stand up guy... Remind me never to ask Mac about Maduros!!! LOL
