I can't recommend this stuff highly enough. I had a lot of trouble getting the humidity right in my humidor. I tried several different humidifiers and bead systems but none of them did it.
This stuff, I put the jar in the humidor, and since shortly after the humidity has been pegged at 70%. Fantastic!

Xikar Xi2 Cigar Cutter - Granite Silver
by Philip
Do not waste your time and money on any other cutter,this has the same blades as the top end ones just not as flashy case.I have had mine for about a month and it is still razor sharp.I have tried many other cutters but this is by far in its own league.o yes and a life time guarantee!!

I have had my Xikar punch cutter for over a year now and absolutely love it. It is small, elegant, unobtrusive, beautifully made and fabulously effective. I particularly love the satisfying Rolls Royce "clunk" when the magnetic action withdraws the cutting blade and ejects the cut tobacco cap. Thoroughly recommended.

Xikar Xi1 Cigar Cutter - Silver
by Peter
Well you learn something new every day, My Xikar wedge cutter was closing unevenly when not cutting, always closed more at one side than the other so the cutting action was uneven, my partner said why not soak the cutter in baby oil in a small bowl over night, I did has she said and left the opened cutter in the oil overnight and now the cutting action is even as both blades close together evenly the oil removed fine particles of grit and all the tobacco residue, the cutter is like new now, I think all cutters would benefit from doing this probably once a month.

Good reasons for using a cigar punch over a cutter, first of all it take up far less space in your pocket and can even be connected to your key ring, it is far easier to use than a cutter which you have to square up to the cigar and making sure you cut above the cap line which may not be well defined, because the cutting action is across the surface of the filler the cutter has to be ultra sharp and the cut made with a fast positive action any hesitancy or if the cutter is even slightly dull will cause deformation of the filler surface and thus reduce the draw of the cigar, using a punch cutter simply penetrate the cap centre with a twisting action then retract, job done!! Because the cutting action is at 90 degrees and towards the internal filler surface under the cap there is no deformation of the filler surface there fore the cigar will retain it's original draw good or bad,
