Xikar Cutter-Not Released to Public Yet
I got this as a gift. I can't find it on the Xikar web site. It was in a 5 cigar travel humidor with a lighter.
The plastic flag acts as a back stop so your cuts are controlled and only the smallest part of the cap is removed. |

Re: Xikar Cutter-Not Released to Public Yet
I have. And it gives me the perfect cut every time. I usually take a regular guillotine cutter and do a 360 degree carefully around 1/32" around the cap so all that comes off is the cap wrapper. Like a little beanie. With this, no thinking required. Stick it in and close the blades and voila! I can't believe no one has thought of this....at least not in a major marketing environment.

Cutters with backstops are called "noob cutters".

Re: Xikar Cutter-Not Released to Public Yet
Sweet, I have a few of the all-metal Liga Privada and JdN backstop cutters from Jon Drew, how many noobs can I go out and cut with them? Is there a limit? Do you smoke your noobs band or band off? What's the best humidity for storing a noob? I know better than to ask if you should store them cello on or off.

Re: Xikar Cutter-Not Released to Public Yet
Cool deal, you're welcome bro. I really like those LP9 cutters myself. Out of the half-dozen or so different styles/brands I own, it's by far the fastest cutting cutter I own and ties the Zino for cleanness of cuts. The Zino can't cut over 47-49 RG though....

Re: Xikar Cutter-Not Released to Public Yet
damnedest thing.
EVERY double guillotine cutter has a "noob" backstop. Or did everyone forget laying the cutter flat on the table? Did you forget WHY every double guillotine cutter is so thin? |
