When I started smoking cigars again I made the mistake of buying a cheap plastic guillotine cutter. Having now acquired the Xikar cutters all is well. I can now cut cigars with confidence. They fit nicely in the hand and the cut is very clean. I highly recommend these cutters. They may seem a little pricey but when you factor in the lifetime warranty and free sheath offer they are worth the money.
Bought this for a two week camping trip and it was ideal - there's a quite heavy-duty grate in the bottom so the base doesn't even get warm. It's much safer than a 'normal' ashtray to leave standing on the ground or a table etc outdoors, and with the lid screwed on a cigar can safely be left in it to burn out.
Great stuff, such an easy bit of kit to use. No calibration required, just pop it straight in your humidor. As always, the service from C.Gars is second to none. Thanks Michelle!
