What kind of cutter do you use?

[mosesbotbol]

A “West” German stainless single blade guillotine. I prefer the single as I can sharpen the blade and disassemble the unit easier than a double.

The cutter you are referring to is the MeanSardine. Xikar's low end double blade. I picked up one for $9.95 at my B & M. I've seen them on the internet for 2 fer 10. Not a bad cutter.

I use the Club Stogie Havana cutters every time. I have one in my truck, in the desk at my office, in my tacklebox and the rest at home.

I will eventually get a Palio but I am happy for now.

XIKAR and a punch cutter (forgot the name of it).

I pulled my Zino cutter out of retirement, took a 10yr break when my 1st was born. Boy did i miss it. The Zino won't take any bigger than a 46 gauge it seems to fit robustos just up to the cap but the cut is rough. After reading this thread, need I say my Palio is on the way, expecting to see it this week.

Still just using a Craftsman's Bench Double Blade; works fine, but I have been itching to pull the trigger on a Palio.

I have several guillotine cutters that I have used both doubles and singles

I have an Xikar III

I just got a Palio last week and have cut maybe 8 cigars with it. I will be getting a few more of these so I am never ever without one again........nothing even comes close.

call me crazy but i use garden shears for the most part. pretty much impossible to lose and will cut just about whatever you throw at it. not the finest piece of aesthetics but it works like a charm.

Thanks to pnoon, I've fallen in love with my Palio. I've used others, including Xikars. In my mind, the Palio is king. Simply stellar.

The cut with a Palio is so nice it makes you want to go and chop everyone of your sticks in the humi for practice!

haha i couldnt find a cutter anywhere and i was outside doing some yard work and had to improvise and have stuck to them since if im at home because cant seem to lose the things. i dont carry them around with me if thats what you are thinking

[houdini]

any chance of another palio group buy? it seems thats what most of you are using...

[MaytagMan]

Palio is my first choice - it give me the best cut. I also have some scissors and a Xikar that do a good job. Other than that, I make do with just about anything when the need arises...

Xikar or my punch
