Where can I find a ClubStogie cutter for purchase?
Apparently they do not make them anymore. See the previous posts in this thread.

Nice review. On the Palio, where did you apply the Silicone? On the tracks only or on the tracks AND blades? Thanks.
I am a big fan of XiKAR cutters, both their regular and their bullet cutter. I've used them for years and have never had them tear up a cigar.....
Great Review, there are a lot of people who swear by their Xikar; until they have actually TRIED a Palio. I liked my Xikar a lot, but got preturbed by the step it frequently left in the middle of the cigar where the blades meet. You can avoid the step with the "table trick" when using a Xikar, but with a Palio you get a nice FLAT cut every time without having to resort to remedies...

I can certainly appreciate your opinion. For me if I spend $5-10 on a "usual" cigar then 30-40 a cutter is not that much. Besides why not get one that is crafted well and will last a lifetime. Not to mention the most important part, properly cutting my stogie with out the head unraveling. Welcome to the jungle, sit back and relax and enjoy. Thank youNo offense but how long have you guys been smoking cigars? To obsess so over cutters, when the freebie I got with my $25 bundle of Don Pico, Pongo, whatever cuts just as clean as my Palio, Tsuge, Sherman, Zino, etc. etc. I find amazing (to say nothing of the time that's been expended on this topic).
Guys, obsess over your choice of cigars not the metallurgical properties of your cant'-be-beat cutter. You are not performing circumcisions and there is no threat of a lawsuit if you take too much off. Plus, where do you find the time - photos, hand measurements, testimonials...
Having said that, I can't come down too hard on you.... when I first started smoking premium cigars (more years ago than I'd care to remember), I too contemplated hiring an engineering consulting firm to do an exhaustive comparison study of the cutting quality (after all, how could I sleep at night knowing that I might have bought the wrong model!) of 250 known brand cutters. Now I just want to sit back and smoke my darn cigars. Which is what many of you should be doing. :ss
For me, the only one that hasn't come close to severing a finger is my Xikar. It has served me well. The rest of my collection is for show.
hello hms, good to see you.

Quite an eclectic set of interests you have at that site of yours Ken. Cigars, guitars, words of wisdom....I'm impressed. Confused but impressed. Also, trust me on this....none of those cutters will you have till the end of time. You will either have quit smoking per doctor's orders, taken up bowling, or lost ever single one of them.
I am so grateful for you to join and show us "the way". Nice intro by the way.
