What is your favorite cutter?

For me, it's the Wenger scissor cigar cutter

Followed closely by my xikar and I have my eye on a carbon fiber Palio

Those are awesome cutters. They have knock-offs you can get for about $10 too.

i paid $60 for the stainless one pictured above. Wouldn't trade it for the world and makes short work of trimming a Nub too.

I've seen both the Swiss Army and the knock-off. There is no question, the real-deal is of such finer quality and the cutter is amazing. If I had the dosh, I'd get one too.

so what do you guys use? any favorites? I have a frined that refuses to us anything but his teeth! he is a surf fisherman (he is registered here, Alberto) and I give him cigars all the time and he simply bites off the ends. I'm going to assume you guys use something a bit sharper and made of metal.

Palio or Xikar, I like the Palio better right now, and 1 of my Xikars have to go back

I have a few sharpened bullet casings that a friend gave me long ago that I use as punch cutters. For the BPT, is use a Zino or Xikar.

Man, I'm still using the "cheapo" guillatine that I bought for $1.95.

I am also using the $2.00 guillatine cutter. I am trying to decide if the extra $$ justifies my 1 or 2 stick a week smoking, Beale.

I have both the Palio & Xikar and both to me are top notch cutters---I have tried many but will never again have to purchase another one.The warranties are great.
