Cutter Recomendations.

[jrwingate6]

Being new to cigar smoking I am learning what is worth paying for and what isn't. Well I want to get a quality cutter and would like some recommendations. Please give me a few options of some quality cutters.

I've used a cheap double blade, and a cheap v cutter. Got an urge to buy a better cutter. Decided on either a palio or xikar, both have a lifetime guarantee. Ended up buying an Xikar off the Devils site.

Whats the Devils Site?

I also have a Xikar cutter and it makes a nice clean cut. I would recommend it

You will no doubt get tons of advice on Palios or Xikar. I happen to have a Xikar and a V cut from BostonCutters,,,and I love both of these fine pieces of cigar equipment. You don't have to spend a ton of money on a cutter,,,you can probably get a really nice one for $30.

You can get a nice cutter for the $30-40 dollar range. Before you decide I would definitely make sure it's from a good manufacturer that will be around for a while. There are a lot of cheap cutters out there that claim to have a lifetime warranty, but more often than not, you'll outlive the manufacturer and you'll end up out of luck. I know xicar and Palio have a good reputation. I've only had experience with the Palio and so far they have done nothing but impress me.

Get a good one the first time. I use the Zino double guillotine. But whether you get the Zino, the Palio or the Xicar, Get a good one. All three have a lifetime warranty. By the way, do the same with lighters. Don't buy cheapos. The good ones last a long time.

I have owned both Xikar's and Palio's. I gave my Xikar away and purchased a second Palio. Not as fancy as the Xikar, but IMHO a much cleaner cut. Checkout Cigarmony.com. If you look around the retailers forum you might even find a coupon for a discount.

not to F you up here but I have the cuban crafters double blade with a stop. I won it in a raffle and love it. there is a small hole to guild your cut on torps and the stop prevents you from cutting too much(rookie proof). also a lifetime warranty

I just have to second the recommendation on the Palio, great cutter (bought mine of cigarmony.com, Mark's a great guy! ).

I also have a xikar cutter and one of their foldable scissors, and even though I use them sometimes nothing compares to the clean cut I get from the Palio.

Well worth the money.

Xikar because of the warranty and quality.

I have a Palio and love it. My brother-in-law picked up the cuban crafters cutter for ~$15 and he likes it also.

Palio. Best cutter, sharpest blades, easiest to use and a lifetime warranty
