  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

How many people actually use scissors to cut their cigars? I have been tempted to get one but I want to know everyone's opinion on it. I can' seem to find one to try either, my local B&M doesn't have one to use!
Any recommendation on how to use it?

I LOVE my Xikar scissors! One of my favorite accessories, much better than my Xi2. Some people hate them....:dunno:

I love my Xikar multi-tool also - they give a very precise cut & allow for accurate 'trimming' around the edges... Lately though, I've found myself using the Palio more often than anything. It's quick, easy & reliable.

I had a pair that was a door prize at an event one time, for a free prize they were fun, however sadly I lost them in a move. They worked well, just bulky to carry, I did enjoy using them at home though.

I love my scissors. I have the Xikar MTX. Get tool & great price! It is the same one a lot of guys here have. It took a bit of getting used to, but now I never leave home without it. You can order it direct from Xikar.

I've got a pair of the Xikar scissors, I like them really well. I do punch the majority of what I smoke though, so they're my #2 cutter. I've also got a V cutter, which I only use once in a while
