  • 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.

Palio is more reliable. If you are looking for a scissor, get a Swiss Army Knife cigar scissor.
I got one of those, it came with my Zino Davidoff knife that was availabe several years ago.

I also own 5 Xikar cutters, 3 punches and my original Zino cutter.

I personally have never been a fan of the cutters that are attached to a lighter!

I used that Cuban Crafter cutter last night. It claims to make the perfect cut everytme.

I did a great job, but there are times when I prefer to take a bit more off the top than this allows you to do!

I would agree. You definitely have to have "the touch" - or some good practice time in - to use a cutter attached to a lighter. Took me longer than I would have liked to learn how to cut with a lighter cutter well but now the convenience factor has made it all worth it.

I'm with you on that one too, especially when I'm smoking a torpedo or pyramid.
