Fosgate Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Having difficulties finding a good sharp cutter that lasts. Maybe some pics of what others use as their favorites. Right now my Savoy cutter and Xikar punch are my favorites. I just bought the Savoy and while it's ok and I have not had a difficult cut yet, I'm not all that impressed. The Cohiba red dot cutter was pretty dull out of the box it came free with. The other Cohiba cutter was nice initially but seems to have dulled a little. The punch is also newer but seems punches always get damaged in my pocket. The Thompson Cigar labeled one is mediocre IMHO. Maybe a good lighter combo with nice sharp cutter?
Dozerhead Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Palio or Xikar. I've had both and they have each been great. They also have a lifetime warranty. If one gets jacked up you can just take it to an authorised dealer and they will take care of it for you. Unfortunately the warranty doesn't do you much good if you lose the actual cutter, like I did with the Palio. 1
Fuzz Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Palio. Had mine for the last 4-5 years, all clean cuts.
GnarlyEggs Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 The Cuban crafter's perfect cutter is a very nice cutter for $15. Mine has cut a bunch of cigars and is still sharp. Cheap enough it isn't a big deal if you loose it. I also have a Xikar I use at home. 1
shlomo Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 My Xikar sucks. Traded it from a member here a few years back. Might just need a sharpening. 1
kidmac Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 My Xikar sucks. Traded it from a member here a few years back. Might just need a sharpening. Shlomo Xikars are guaranteed for life send it nack and they replace no questions asked. And they fix the old one and send to the troops! Sean Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
polarbear Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Gotta go the Xikar I have 3 or 4 of them and have never had an issue Each has performed 100's of cuts over the years and are still in great condition

Sean Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk I know. I also have a lighter that is no good. Didn't know they send the stuff over to the troops. Wonder how that all works from Canada....
El Presidente Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Palio has always been an excellent cutter. Still, I have a couple of hundred cheap cutters lying around as i lose anything decent during travel. Trialing currently the Lotus cutter (Xikar knockoff).
poisonowns Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Palio ftw. I like how one blade is always out so I don't have to worry about looking to check that both blades are against he cigar.
mgravito Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Also a user of Palio. I have a couple other cheapies kicking around in case I misplace my Palio.
nick87night Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I just got a Lamborghini cutter (90$ usd on amazon) I have to admit, it's really pretty to look at but it's really sharp and it makes a clean cut every time. I've had my freebee colibri cutter from cigarsinternational that ive had for two years and it still makes a clean cut every time.
Lotusguy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Donatus Big Cut scissors at home and my Wolf Punch or Palio cutter when on the road.
sharks Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Currently use the Xikar cutter does the job. Sent one back a few years ago to get sharpened and they sent me a new one Can't complain about that, especially from the aussie suppler great service! Would love one of those large Boston Cigar Cutters although they are $$$$$$$ if you can still get one?
hounser Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Got a Palio cutter a few weeks ago, I absolutely love it, razor sharp, perfect cut. I also have a Cuban Crafters perfect cutter which I have used for 3 years now, also a great option, keep that one in my golf bag, still extra sharp, great cut.
lestabantam Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 +1 on the palio. Lovely clean cut every time and doubles as a cigar rest as well.
Guest rob Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I've got 4 cutters that I've bought, and they all have their problems. Xikar, Prometheus etc... The best cutter I have is one that was given to me by Rob Fox in Havana. Its one of his JJ FOX branded cutters, looks unassuming, and has been brilliant. No torn wrappers, and works first time every time! Thanks Roberto!
laficion Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 just got this baby yesterday. not sure about the long haul but it sure looks cool They are well known for their worldwide known knives as Well and It's a very nice village too,Congratulation.!!!!!!!
Jeremy Festa Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 just got this baby yesterday. not sure about the long haul but it sure looks cool That is epic. Didn't know they made cigar cutters. Going to order one for my birthday, along with my champagne sabre.
CaptainQuintero Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Table top quad cutter! Just attach a chain for your neck and it's good for travel too! 2
pandyboy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I like the palio but the xikar is a great cutter as well.
