Always on the lookout for new toys/tools and have been eying these up for a while now. Anyone try one? Any thoughts?

I have one, works out great. :thumbsup: I no longer have to worry about ring gauge limitations. Is compact, will not auto open in pocket like some other units have. Plus you have various tools to help a tight drawing stick, etc. They also attach to a key chain.

There is one trick to using it though. When making the cut, be decisive. A quick cut is best. Get it it set, lined up and cut edges on the stick where you want to cut. Then a FAST snip and ta da!!. If you go slow, you butcher a perfectly good gar.

I love mine. Slim (fits in my wallet), sharp, and very cool.
I've picked up a few more to give as gifts.

I have one also and like it a lot. I've used the bottle opener and a couple of the other gadgets on it aswell.

Prometheus pretty much summed it up well. Good advice on the cut, quick and decisive.

Thanks guys. I thought they looked pretty cool. I played with one at Casa Fuente last week and was curious about the weight vs strength issue. They seem pretty light, but wasn't sure they would survive a few cuts on a LGC Serie R which tend to be pretty stout. I think I'll pick up a couple.

Hey Mark, when you get them in, let us know. Thanks.

I have been looking at this cutter for a while now and you guys have just convinced me to purchase one.

Thanks!

I hear ya there Derek! That's why I haven't bought an expensive cutter yet. Everytime I see an expensive accessory I think of what kind of cigars I could be getting.

 

[cvm4]

A good, quality cutter just makes the experience that much better, IMO. Not much dough to have a clean cut every time.

 

[derek]

5 already have a Xi3 cutter tho

 

[caudio51]

Those are pretty nice. Might have to add one to the group.
