New kind of cutter?

[Strickland]

CI is giving these away with orders over $99. Anyone seen these yet? Tried them? Sounds interesting - six razor blades make slits in the cap that open wider when you clamp down harder with your mouth, allowing you to control the draw.

Here's a video, too... [YOUTUBE]TwzQJ5q54xE[/YOUTUBE]

I think it would work well if you smoke shitty cigars.

Im not going to take an expensive smoke and shove it into that torture trap. Check out the force he is applying.

Almost seems like a partial poker. Odd concept for sure.

Saw this at the show and can tell you two negative feedbacks on it from people who have used it. One said the tar built up pretty badly around the "slits" and the other said he had to put the cigar about a half inch in to his mouth to get a good draw.

 

[Jwrussell]

Imagine a tight drawing cigar using this thing? I don't see it getting very far honestly.

 

[usmc-walker]

yeah i would imagine that the tar buildup would be redicilious with this, "every cigar i smoke is harsh and bitter" haha

 

[vperlman]

Looks like a gimmick, and I can see tar build-up being a real problem.

I give 'em points for trying, but it looks like they may have missed the mark.

Also, they said at the booth it didn't work well on torpedo's and another type of cigar, may have been smaller ring gauges, can't remember.

If a new cutter hasn't come out since the 30s, maybe there's a reason.

 

[Docbp87]

Yeah this looks like a disaster. Also, controlling the draw? Looks like it would cause every cigar to have a tight draw...

 

[Angry Bill]

Nothing like a Palio. No thanks! I will stick with what I know works everytime perfectly!

 

[blessednxs65]

I'll pass.

 

[themoneycollector]

There hasn't been a new cutter because we haven't needed one.

I'm a guillotine cutter myself

 

[jmlampert23]

why do people feel the need to reinvent the wheel. I am going to stick with my tried and true Palio

 

[derfatdutchman]

That's something I don't want coming near my double corona!

I'll stick with my double blade guilotine.

 

[jpmg]

Why would I want to ruin the head by clamping down on it with my mouth? Perhaps there's a reason why they're being given away. I'll stick to my Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter

 

[Fia]

Is that the cigar tech people? I saw them at the show that had that same cutter.

 

[Danilo]

I used something like this just before the trade show... TAR like there is no tomorrow! It really sucks. Draw was good though.

Hey props for trying but don't really see the advantage of this.
