    Default Opinions on this cutter?

    "Revolucion" cigar scissors


    These seem kinda cool in theory, but do they work? Any opinions or experience?

    You're right. This cutter does look cool! It's also not a bad price. Did you read that it spirals around the cigar as it cuts?

    I'd buy it if I were you. I am full up on cutters and usually I use my work knife that is sharp enough to shave with. cuban Crafters seems to make and market good products from what I have personally seen

    look like pretty cool cutters... not the normal cigar scissors these are almost like a 3bladed guilletine cutter....

    i've never seen this site before...looks like they have lots of high quality accessories... man i'm gonna have my christmas money spent before i even get it

    Cuban Crafters are good people and their customer service is EXCELLENT.

    I've bought a humidor and double bladed cutter from them. Very pleased with the humidor, and the cutter has worked fine (only cutter I've used, so I can't compare).

    Their cutters typically come with a lifetime guarantee, so if it dulls...etc, they'll send you a new one.

    Default I guess I am old fashion

    It does look intersting but I like the old cutters. There is a certian traditional class about smoking a cigar maybe even an elegance and I just dont see anyone carrying that around with them in their pocket.

    May I be the first to welcome you to our great and humble board Hope you stick around and enjoy our lovely atmosphere

    Back on topic, I agree with you 100%, not only does it look like a gimick but it would be a burden to carry around... I carry my Xikar every where I go, in my jeans pocket.

    That is a great concept. I would love to hear from someone who has tried it. I think I'll get one anyway....

    I still haven't bought one. Hoping to get it as a stocking stuffer. I just thought of something though. With three blades, all of them can't be flush with each other, can they?

    I suppose if you angle each blade a bit to interlock them and give half of each blade an opposing grind to go flush with it's neighboring blade it might work. Maybe. I'm no engineer. I wish I could see it close up.

    Looks to me like the blades are curved. I ordered one and will post my opinion soon.

    I am about to order one of these from Cuban Crafters. Has anyone gotten theirs yet? If so, how do these cut? ? ?

    I have an identical one, made by Colibri, that I bought about six years ago. I never use it. It tends to tear the cap and leave little tobacco stragglers. I much prefer my Xikar, Palio, or even Havana Cutter.

    Ahhhh.............. finally an answer from experience. Thank you very much. I didn't get it as a stocking stuffer, so you probably saved me a little money.
