Cigar Cutters with....Personality

Since I have already begun to talk about what a cigar smoker must have tools are I'll just keep it going. In my opinion a must have accessories is a cigar cutter. You purchased your stick and the next step is to cut that,light that, smoke that. Nothing like being stuck without a cutter. You will resort to all sorts of emergency measures like biting it,using a pocket knife or a ball point pen. The last thing you want to do is stick a key in a $18 cigar. So be prepared if your going to take this lifestyle serious.





An average $3 cutter will do the job. Keep a few of these around in the car & home for those emergency times. Cutting a Padron Family Reserve 45th Anniversary with such a cutter is like putting a $800 frame on a $250 painting. If your cigars are that serious let the tools be also.




This is a Carbon Fiber Xi3 made by XIKAR. One of the most popular cigar accessories retailers. This guillotine retails for $99.99 with a lifetime warranty.XIKAR boasts the strength & light weight of its cutters are the best. Use it don't lose it.




Now this is Luxe equipment that speaks individuality. The new Mammoth Fossil series from XIKAR. Retails for just $399.99 & every cutter is unique. Made from 10,ooo year old mammoth tusks to decapitate the best of cigars. This is a definite status play.




Now to really express your style,status,personality and Luxe check out this actual warthog tooth cigar cutter by Gershon LTD. N.Y. This sterling silver w/stainless steel blade is $250. Long before XIKAR was customizing extinct mammal teeth Gershon has been creating accessories like none other. The 14kt yellow gold warthog tusk cutter sells for $1800 for you big spenders. Pulling a warthogs tooth out of ones pocket may seem like a bit much for some, but I can pull it off. Think of it as going green.

Another classic. A cutter is definitely requisite for anyone who considers themself a serious cigar aficionado. The Carbon Fiber Xi2 made an appearance in Superman Returns, in the hands of Lex Luthor during the crystal/kryptonite landmass scene. My amboina burl Xi2 is probably my favorite cigar accessory.

Great cutters. I personally own 3 XIKAR Cutters, & have had only 1 problem with one of them. It had fallen off of the dashboard of my ride, on to the street & part of the handle had cracked. I still need to send it back, but had spoken to the people at XIKAR & they will replace it at no charge. I guess I need to get my lazy a** moving on sending it back.
