    The Colibri V cut is legit!! I enjoyed every smoke I've cut with it. Too bad I lost that bitch.
    The Xicar "teardrop" is a nice straight cut. My go to on a regular.

    Or

    But honestly the $40 to $50 cutters is what i have and works great. Sometimes you can find them cheaper on Craigslist or eBay.
    I could never get a gaudy Terminator or Matt Booth cutter - they're cool, just not my style. I do want to find a place that does customs for a future cutter so I can get my squadron logo and motto painted on it.

    For something like that get a nice xi and go to an engraver. The xi are metal instead of the composite that the x2 are.

    Xikar Pro Tip - find a really crappy looking one on ebay if you can. People won't bid much for it - but Xikar has a forever guarantee. Take to any dealer and they'll attempt to "fix" it. I got the Xi2 Carbon Fiber for I think $30 shipped, it was pretty mangled, on way to bend it back so that the springs etc would work anymore. Received a brand new one right on the spot.

    As far as types/competitors go, I started with the Palio and Xikar x2, my buddy got the CC Perfect Cut - His perfect cut works as it should, but isn't the best cutter of the three. People love Palio, but I never really use it. The Xi2 was my go-to and still is if I need to completely slice a cigar off at any point, but since getting the XV V-Cutter it's been the only thing I reach for, every time.

    Xikar rma process has changed. Stores no longer try to fix or replace anymore you mail it to them and hope they send it back(my personal experience).

    A real missed opportunity with that punch placement...

    So that's what that was - a cutter. Figured it was some kinda figurine collectable.

    I own 2 cutters, both straight cut. A Xicar V3 and an old Cuban Crafters Stainless Perfect Cutter. I really like them both, but the quality, strength and simplicity of the Perfect Cutter is why it gets the most use. I always always carry a super sharp switchblade knife that easily removes the cap on a cigar.
