Review on Xikar XO Dual Blade Guillotine Cutter For Cigars, With Stainless Steel Blades, 64 RG And Stylish Phantom Redwood Design by John Caldwell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cuts amazingly well and looks awesome

I was replacing an older Colibri cutter that had gotten dull. I was originally looking at other Xikar cutters but figured I would spend the extra money and with the lifetime warranty be very happy. Short story.I am.This cutter works incredibly well. Yes.it needs a little attention to detail to not cut the cap too deep but to me it is part of the process and that's one of the reasons I smoke cigars. Every cut has been clean and straight. It is easy to apply consistent pressure and make it work right. The only reason this cutter has had any problems at all were cigars that were too dry and the wrapper was going to crack anyway no matter what cutter I used. I give it a 5/5.

Pros
  • Great cutter. I have tried many cigar cutters and this is the best one I’ve ever purchased.
Cons
  • Heavy weight can make it difficult to carry around in a pocket or travel case
