Quality Product - my new review

This cutter is worth the price. I have went through a few cheap cutters and got what I paid for; a piece of metal that quickly dulled.This cutter does the trick. I recommend it for casual cigar smokers and "old pros”.

Pros
  • Cigar Accessories & Humidors
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those who prefer a V-cut or punch cut

Xikar Cutter Review

Product arrived ahead of schedule. quality and finish are excellent! I use almost daily.The only thing better would be 2 Xikar Cutters. Xikar XI2 Cutter Lapis Blue

Pros

Cons
  • Blades can easily become dull with heavy use

Worth the cost!: my feedback

Second one since the last was lost in a move. Best cutter I've found. Lay it in a flat surface, put your cigar in flat and cut. Even the cigar shop didn't realize it gave a better and more consistent cut until I showed them.

Pros
  • The Xikar Xi2 Cigar Cutter ensures a perfectly clean cut every time, thanks to its razor-sharp 440 stainless steel blades that effortlessly slice through even the largest 54-ring gauge cigars
Cons
  • May be too heavy for some cigar enthusiasts

Best cutter I've ever used!

Best cigar cutter I have used in my 30 years of smoking cigars! Just as good as (or better than) a tabletop cutter. Feels good in the hand, locks closed after each use. Cuts like a hot knife through butter - no joke!

Pros
  • Great cutter
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other cigar cutters

Good standard of guillotine cutters

I love these things, I've bought multiple for myself and to gift to friends and they have all made nice, clean, precise cuts everytime. I also appreciate they put the steel used in the product, 440 or 420, can't remember at I write this. While not a modern super steel, both 440 and 420 are still commonly found on nice knives today.

Pros
  • The best cutter I've ever used.
Cons
  • Lapis blue color may not appeal to all cigar enthusiasts

Pros
  • Nice cutter 4.5 stars
Cons

Register it to get a free sheath!

I have a number of cutters and this is among the best. The blue color is very deep navy blue which is what I wanted. Xikar says it will cut a 54 ring gauge in half. I tried that with a Churchill, I wanted to cut the burning end off to save the rest for later. I had to go get a larger cutter. I think it work if the cross section was perfectly circular, but these are hand rolled and are just a wee bit elliptical in cross section. But it's a great cutter anyway. I registered it on the Xikar web…

Pros
  • Cuts perfectly Everytime. No crushing if the cigar
Cons
  • Can be expensive compared to other cigar cutters on the market

It is his favorite cigar cutter

I bought this as a gift for my husband after he sent me the link. He loves it! It is his favorite cigar cutter. He keeps claiming that it is one of the best gifts he has ever received.

Pros
  • Backed by Xikar's lifetime warranty
Cons
  • May leave small shreds of tobacco on the cut end of the cigar

Recommend with reservations

It cuts well. The little knurled thumb switch, used for opening it, broke. It is threaded in, and one day it just fell out. The threads were poorly cut. So now I am just careful not to loose the thumb switch. It cuts cigars well, though!

Pros
  • 440 stainless steel blades hardened to a Rockwell C rating of 57
Cons
  • May not be suitable for cigar smokers with limited hand strength

Worth every penny in my review

I had been holding off on getting a nice cutter for a few years. I've been using those cheap plastic ones they sell for a couple of dollars at cigar stores. But this one is exceptional. It is worth every penny. Plus the life time guarantee is worth it too, I'll never buy another cutter. They will replace when it goes dull or if its broke.

Pros
  • Excellent cutter. Made in Taiwan. Great machining and quality. Very light weight
Cons
  • May not cut evenly if not used correctly

Excellent product - my new review

Always impressed with the quality of their products. When you add a lifetime warranty and you have a great deal. That's my review.

Pros
  • Cutters
Cons
  • Blades may become rusty over time
