I too just picked up a new cutter (cant have too many). Combination of a couple of my Xikars getting sticky and watched a 2guys podcast where Dave said he's used the same cutter on the show for 12 yrs (thats a min of 1248 cuts) and its still like new. Sure, he's a salesman but I needed a filler to get free shipping too, so I gave this serated cutter a shot.

Edit to add this thing is solid and weighs more than my xikars - nice clean cut on my cigar - heres hoping its a good one!

Its really grown on me.

First, I had to relearn to manipulate this style of cutter as I have almost exclusively used xikar-style cutters for years.

Not sure what you mean by bite (sounds negative), but the thing I've come to like about it is that once you line it up and close on the cap - it "bites" in and you don't get that slip over the top or slanted cut (assuming you lined it up right).

Give me a couple days - I've been wanting to do an experiment where I cut a few cigars side by side with each and compare the results.

Well it's like teeth so I imagine it would bite down and tear the wrapper and not leave a clean cut.
Like biting off the end of a beef stick versus cutting it with a knife ?

Don't think I ever held myself out to be an expert but I have bitten my fair share. I've never taken a bite from the beef stick of @penna stogey at the Orgy though, despite him offering it up on multiple occasions

Just say your scared Josh, the mighty Cigarfest Orgy is a buffet of beef sticks... Remember young grasshopper, it's a buffet, not a competition!! Word to the wise.

Ok, here's a side by side comparison with a Xikar X3 with low miles on it.


The Victims, err test subjects.

Shots of cut, cap, litter for each.
