Yep. It makes a difference. But more often than not, it ends up being a personal preference thing.
Personally, i like xikar cutters and torch lighters. It all boils down to what your likes are.
Regardless of what you like, a cutter that remains sharp or has a lifetime guarantee is worth the money spent.

This. I to like xikar stuff, but it is totally personal preference.

A good cutter makes a big difference. A cheap lighter works just as good as an expensive lighter. My $3 lighter wont die, been using it for years.

I have an Xikar I3, but the I2's are nice I just felt they were a bit cheaper on the build. Also a nice trick is to put the cutter on the table, put the cigar inside the cutter. That way you don't cut too much off. Nice way to get the feel for cutting. Also a punch is nice as well. Lighters are a personal thing. Some expensive ones look nice but do they last? I dunno. I have an Xikar that has issues and I haven't sent it in yet, but I have a 30 dollar one that works great. So it all depends, some people use cheap torches and have no problems at all.
