I have been using the Xikar Xi for over a year and love it.

I have been eyeballing the Lamborghini precision cutter, deciding on the color...

I sent mine back defcon... Get one in your hand before you pull the trigger. I thought it was cheap.

They are sexy looking...

I will check it out in person before buying one as fuente~fuente suggested if he felt they were cheap...

I am reluctant on a Xicar cutter as it seems there have been plently of complaints on them here @ puff.com...

I didn't read the whole thread but let me toss in my dos centavos here...

I've had a Palio cutter and traded it for a Xikar - I don't care for either those. My preferred cutter is the Credo. It's a scissor style double guillotine. You can pick one up for about $10.00 and they are razor sharp and cut like a charm.

Another vote for Zino here. I've had mine for over 10 years and it's still going strong.

They're definitely sexy looking, that's why I orderded one!!! You have great taste Defcon!!!

It just dosen't feel like it's going to hold up after a while. Also... The entry for the cigar is really small. You better have a humi full of caronas & figurados, or you won't be cutting many cigars with it.

All my buddies thought the same thing I did Defcon. See the pic in my earlier post in this thread if you want to buy a really good cutter.

Although most won't want to think it's true... It cuts better than my Xikar!

That DuPont is SWEET fuente~fuente!!! WOW...

I am going to to the shop tomorrow and I believe they might have them, If so, I will certainly take a look at them!!!

I usually punch them, I have a decent punch, but I have been using the freebie plastic cutter the past few days... Technically it works, but want something nicer...

Besides, I have a box of Oliva V Belicoso's coming and you can't punch a torpedo tipped cigar...

Thanks for the heads-up fuente~fuente

I've been experimenting with cutters to get that perfect amount clipped off the tip, and I had a buddy up in Pittsburgh, PA visit the Allhegeny Smoke Shop (name??). There he got a double cutter in which they affixed a ceramic plate to the back of one side. You can now only stick your gar through the proper amount to clip off a tiny amount of cap. AWESOME if your a noob like me....not good for torpedos though.

I have a Xikar and love it although I would agree that it can't do a few of the bigger ring gauges. Can't beat the warranty on it either, it even outlasted the chick that gave it to me!!
