Yeah I am not to picky when it comes to cutters. Long as it isnt cracking my wrappers
I was using an el cheapo, faux wood, cutter from Amazon.
Worked great for about a year and a half, then started getting dull and not cutting cleanly, so it was time for a new one.
Debated just buying the same one again, but Christmas was close, so opted to put something better but more expensive, on my list instead.
Almost went with Xikar again, but Colibri seemed to get equally good reviews and recommendations from my forums, and it was $10 cheaper than the Xikar, so decided to give them a shot.
So far, so good since Christmas. We'll see how long it stays sharp...
If it doesn't last several years minimum, I will likely go back to el cheapos and just replace as needed.
Not sure if it has any kind of guarantee like I believe Xikar does (I believe Xikar lighters have a lifetime warranty, not sure on their cutters), will look into warranties on cutters for both.
I'm not picky about torch lighters or cutters at all either, as long as they last long enough to justify the price or have a lifetime warranty.
Current lighter of choice is the cheap 2 pack of Vertigo by Lotus Cyclone triple flame torch on Amazon. Actually very good lighters for the price if you get a good one.
Last 2 pack was bought 2 years ago and one was intermittent from the beginning but the other worked perfectly for 2 years until it disappeared in my recliner and for the life of me, can't find it even flipping over the chair and and feeling and looking everywhere with flashlight.
glad they come in 2 packs to increase chances that at least 1 will be reliable.
So far both new ones work perfectly, so may have gotten 2 good ones.
Was considering putting a Xikar on my Christmas list this year, but for the price difference, the Vertigo's are fine.
Plus someone who saw my post on another forum about the Xikar I was looking at, is giving me a couple Xikars he doesn't use, so as long as they work well, I'm set.
