I've got a blue Xi2 that you can have.

I don't know if I'm using it wrong or if Cbid sold me a dull one, but I effin hate it.

Patrick. Are you having the same issues as me? When I cut cigars with mine, it doesn't cut a perfect line. It leaves like a mound in the center because it seems like it's not "sharp" enough to cut a perfect straight cut. It does this every single time.

^Hugh, that sounds familiar!

I haven't used it in months, but I'll go cut a smoke & give you a full report in a couple seconds 🙂

I've been using a double guillotine that tribefan raoked me, as well as the occasional punch.

I just used it to cut an El Rico and I must've got lucky. A fairly straight cut, but I did notice a 'lil "stump" on one side of the head. Wasn't as bad as I anticipated though.

I dont know if being left handed has anything to do with it. Are you by any chance? But either way it is a solid cutter and it doesn't really effect the smoke!

EMR-EMS = DONE DEAL

Nope Hugh, I'm a righty.

I don't like the hassle of using it though.

Step 1: Open cutter

Step 2: Slightly squeeze the cutter & apply equal pressure to both sides (so you don't squish your cigar).

Step 3: Insert your cigar & allign it all square. I then squeeze a 'lil and score it.

Step 4: Squeeze it until it locks.

Step 5: Look @ the cut head and wonder why there's a stump, when you used a good cutter(supposedly).

Was wanting to pick one of these up as well, not so sure now.

Get a Palio instead. I used to use a Xikar until I tried a Palio at a herf. Bought a Palio as soon as I got home and have used it since. Nice, straight cut with no hump in the middle of the cigar.

Glad this came up. I was going to buy a new xikar. I will have to plan on picking up a palio and give it a try.

PALIO by all meens

Xi original and Xi3 are good. Do not drop that Xi2 from a height greater than 3" onto a hard surface unless you want to watch it explode.

I use a Palio when I can find mine, punches, Xi1 or Xi3 depending on my mood. I do tend to prefer the Palio, but I just keep misplacing it. I guess FGM's halfheimers is visiting me. lol

I gots a Xi... never used

I love my Palio that Patrick gave me. Only cutter I use now. I have a couple of new xikars I think sitting in boxes.
