Well, at the risk of exposing my "cheapness", this hits my cigar purchasing philosophy dead on. I don't spend my $$ on the fancy accessories, and save it for cigars. I have a couple of "cheapy" torch lighters that work fine when I have to use them in windy conditions, but other than those times, I use a bic or matches and they work perfectly.

Same for me with cutters, the $4 cheapy guillotines work fantastic and last quite a while before getting dull and needing replaced. One of my b/m's gives pretty good ones away at events, or if you make a large enough purchase. It doesn't hurt as bad to lose one or throw one away because its worn out.

For some, the accessories contribute greatly to their smoking experience, and I don't knock that at all, for me its just not the case. A $50 lighter + a $40 cutter = some pretty nice cigars, imho.
