Hey guys:
Had a GREAT smoke yesterday at the local shop, Oliva Serie G... but it *could've been disastrous. I'm not a jedi master yet on doing cuts. I THOUGHT I had cut plenty high enough on the cap, but as soon as I put the cigar in my mouth I felt the top part of the leaf raise up, indicating I'd cut too deep. They're good blokes at the local shop. They just replaced the stick gratis (I let him do the honors on that cut).
Anyway, got me thinking... maybe I should buy one of these "perfect cutters" from Cuban Crafters. I do prefer a straight cut over punch or V..... but the idea of ruining a $10 cigar makes me want to take steps.
Please at this point, let's not get side tracked on whether or not I'm a wuss for not being able to cut a damned cigar... & or get side-tracked on other options. I'd just like to know what actual users of this cutter think about it.
Thanks!
Paul

If it's dark and you need to cut your cigar, I've seen people lay the guillotine cutter on a flat surface, insert the head (against the flat surface) and snip. This works well on non-figurado cigars where the head does not taper.
Xikar or Cuban Crafters ?

The Best Cutters I Can Find
Thanks for posting these links. I think I'm going to get one.
I appreciate all the other 'coaching' posts on how to up my game overall, but I like the sounds of this cutter.

This. I use it a lot. On occasion with a pointy tip, I end up cutting twice with this. It loses some versatility from other cutters, I suppose, and is a little harder to clean, but I've used mine solid for over two years with no problem. I'm considering getting something else, now, but would still use it pretty consistently.
