I don't think CI ships to Canuckville.
Oh ... before I forget. Two cutting tips for the less experienced.
If your stick comes in cello, cut it in the cello.
And if it's not your personal-only cutter, NEVER mouth the stick first.
Etiquette.

cut my first cigar with the Xikar tonight. Very easy cut. It's amazing how a quality cutter makes a world of difference!

My Davidoff Zion has been going strong for 25 years.
If you cut too deep with a "flat" cutter, you risk removing the cap, and allowing the wrapper to unfurl. Beyond that, there really is not much advantage to be had, imo. that said, it's cool to have toys for one's hobbies. After all, how many of us have just one razor, yes?
Why? I would think this risks dulling the edge on your cutter . . .
Shouldn't. Helps with blow outs. Like putting a piece of scrap wood against a piece of wood that will be finished. Keeps the wood from splintering when sawing it.
Imagine it's a similar idea.
I am a puncher.
My favourite punch cost me 15¢ a whole lot of years ago.
If I had known that I would never find another that I like as much,
I would have bought many.
Why would you cut so many cigars at once? Are you attempting some drying?

I read else where Dr. Strange smokes 5 a day. Just getting ready for the week I assume.
I put them in the humidor.
It's more like 5 or 6 per year.
You probably read that in the Flor de Copan thread
a little over a year ago.
This is the first bundle I have bought since then.
Flor De Copan Cigars
Has anyone else discovered these low price, high quality stogies. I tried them first from a discount at JR cigars, then picked up a bundle from cigarbid.com. To me, they are the best cigar for the money. Very consistent flavor, even burn, firm ash (who doesn't like a nice firm ash:wink2:), and...

It was that thread. You cut way back!
A cigar cutter is an essential tool for cigar enthusiasts, designed to neatly and cleanly trim the cap of a cigar before smoking. Typically made from high-quality materials like stainless steel, a cigar cutter ensures a precise cut, preventing the cigar from unraveling or tearing during the smoking process. There are various types of cigar cutters, including guillotine, punch, and V-cut styles, each offering a different way to clip the cigar's tip. Choosing the right cutter depends on personal preference and the type of cigar being enjoyed. Ultimately, a well-executed cut enhances the smoking experience by allowing for a smooth draw and even burn, making the cigar cutter an indispensable accessory for aficionados.
The colibri v cutter is my most used cutter.

ChatGPT has entered the room.
I haven't enjoyed a cigar for some time... but I prefer to use one of those bullet punches.... they just punch out a small hole instead of clipping the entire end. I get enough draw even though it's just through a smaller hole. I get less tobacco in my mouth too. <eg>
