I need a good, quality cutter

Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter, any Palio or Xikar and you are golden.

I'm a xikar cutter fan (I have 6) and a palio cutter fan but my favorite/most used cutter is the Casseti. Very solid in hand and cuts as well as any cutter I have...and separates from the others in terms of looks.

I've owned an Xi1 that I loved and lost, and have a CC Perfect Cutter and a Xikar XV cutter. I think you can't go wrong with any of these. My take though: I'd start with Xikar Xi, your choice of series. It's just the most versatile. Let's say your cigar starts tunneling, and you need to cut an inch off the end. You can't do that with a V cutter or a CC Perfect. I've had problems with the CC Perfect not cutting enough off torpedoes, so I have to cut them again. It's not a deal breaker, but if I know how big I want the opening on a torpedo to be, I can get it with the Xi the first time around. If you're smoking small ring gauge cigars, I think it's harder to control the depth of cut with the V cut or a CC perfect. If you can swing it, save your money and get one of each.

Though I offered another option, I cosign any suggestion for a xikar cutter...or a palio cutter...or a CC perfect cutter. Great options out there.

I guess I'm the odd man out.. the wife bought me this Davidoff cutter when I first got into cigars. At least 25 years ago (she paid $50) and it's still razor Sharpe.

Count me in the "Xikar V-Cutter 4 Life" group.

Can't beat it IMO, fancy sheath and all. It even flips over to hold your cigar for you while you smoke!

hells yeah. since I got mine I don't think I have used anything else. and that sexy leather sheath is just icing on the v-cut cake

I'm another Xikar X8 fan. For the price it's hard to beat. I have used several (friends') cutters and I like my Xikar the best, it's still perfect after the 4+ years I've had it. I don't like the cutters with the backplates because I like torpedos and perfectos.

Another vote for the cc perfect. I've used nothing else since I got it.

I have the perfect cutter, couple of xikars, punchers...my fav cutter is the v cutter.
