I've been eyeballing those cutters too. I read some good reviews on them and it looks like it would not pinch the cigar like you get with a double/single blade guillotine. Not really practical to bring around with you but it would be a real great conversation piece when you have fellow BOTLs over to smoke.

If you do buy them let me know how they work. Cuban Crafter's sell's there own kind and there is another company that imports them from Japan, presumably the original article. I contacted the company who originally imported them from Japan (saw them in an article in Cigar Aficionado) and he only has a few retailers over here. Here is their website http://www.tsubotapearl.co.jp/eng/pr...cigarpipe.html

As far as an inexpensive cutter, I'd stick with my Palio. It cuts with surgical precision and works like a charm every time. It runs ~$30 on most websites from what I've seen.
