Cutter Recomendations.

Davidoff makes some nice cutters, too.

I just recently got a Xikar and it is great, much better than the crap I used before. BTW its a Xi2 which is the cheaper plastic model, its just as good, but not as pretty as the more expensive wood/carbon fiber/ metal/etc models

I admit I've only used the Xikar, but i really like it. Its just very comfortable in the hand, which to me is important to making a good cut.

For a round cutter i like Davidoff also.
As for a guillotine cutter, I like the Xikar's double guillotine. I have a XI.

I have a Xikar and Palio. I also have a punch cutter. I find that the Xikar and Palio are equal to each other in getting the task done. Xikar has the life time warranty but is more expensive. Given the demise of Colibri, is any manufacturer going to be around for a life time?

I use the punch for larger ring guage sticks.

I have acquired a La Flor Dbl Ligero Chisel - not sure how I will cut it.

Forgot about the punch.. yeah, I have one of those too, but rarely use it. (I rarely smoke Nubs, that is )

Friends who smoke the LFD chisels usually punch it, in the flat part. Not sure if they only do it on one side or both, but start with one and see how it draws.


And just to stay on topic, I have a bunch of cheapo guillotines too, and they usually do good enough but if I can choose any of my cutters it will be the Palio.

Bite the end off and spend the money you saved on a cutter for some new smokes!

I have a Xikar that was given to me, but my ceramic cutter makes a better cut and is easier to use. The ceramic works best when I make the cut slowly. I bought mine from cheaphumidors.com, but they are no longer on their web site. PipesandCigars.com has them.

Ceramic Blade Cigar Cutter

I bought two of them but had to have one of them replaced. You can read about it here with pics:

What kind of cutter do you use?


Here's info from another site:

I bought a Palio after having different cutters and love it. I'm even working on my local B&M to look into carrying them!

One word: Zino

[ssutton219]

I would recomend you try out as many cutters as you can to see what you like and works for you.

I have an Xikar, actually have had a couple of them and I picked up a palio but id didnt feel right in my hand. I also usr the punch on the bottom of my nibo lighter alot also.


Just try a couple out and see what you enjoy and easiest for you.

Does zino make more than 1 cutter? My buddy has one double guillotine and it is the same as a couple cheap ones I have.

Davidoff is the Zino cutter. Don't confuse the cheap ones with the Zino. The are knock offs only in looks. Zino is swiss made with German high quality stainless steel. Mine is six years old and still makes a perfect cut. Everybody tries to imitate the best.

Palio.
