Cuban Crafters Revolucion 3 blade scissors

I recently placed an order online for a pair of Cuban Crafters cigar scissors. The particular vendor I ordered from on Amazon shipped the wrong item and I ended up with the Revolucion scissors instead. I figured why not give them a go. This is one wicked looking pair of scissors, with their 3 stainless steel blades. They do feature a wide handle design that is great for larger handed individuals like myself. What really catches they attention about these is the 3 blades and how they mesh together when making a cut. When you open the handles the blades move to the outside of the circle and upon squeezing the blades together all 3 blades move together at the same time. The blades are designed to be self-sharpening and require little maintenance and care. They come with a small brush to assist in the removal of any bits of tobacco left in the blades when clipping the cap. I found that these seem to work best on the smaller ring gauge cigars (below 50). It doesn't do it every cut but I would say probably 30 percent of the time there is a small protrusion of filler left bulging from the cut. It's almost as if there is a "dead spot" where the blades meet up to finish the cut. It is certainly one of the most unique looking cutters I have come across and does make a decent cut. You can never have enough cigar toys so I will hold on to this one for now. It lists for about 25 bucks on the Cuban Crafters website and does carry a lifetime warranty. If you want a very unique and eye catching cutter or just a conversation piece, this cutter is right up your alley. www.CubanCrafters.com for more information on Cuban Crafters line of accessories and inventory of cigars.

 

Colibri grip (cut) cigar cutter

I recently had an accident with my double guillotine cutter I got with the Cigar Bands Mosaic humidor combo kit. I dropped it from the seat of my work van onto the concrete. It landed just so perfectly as to break one of the little plastic handles off. While still usable with a little more effort than usual. I started the search for a new cutter ( the wife is not amused lol). After a few days of looking at different cutters I made up my mind on a sale item from Cigars International ( I love these guys). They had colibri grip doble guillotine cutters on sale for 19.50 and everywhere else has them for 39.00. they had 3 different colors to choose from. A bright yellow one with the cigars international logo, a diesel branded, and a man-o-war branded. They don't list the ring size so I almost didn't order it. The reason I wanted a larger ring size is for when I light a premium large ring cigar and don't have time to get it done I like to clip the cherry off and store it in a saver tube for later consumption ( it actually works pretty well) it will cut up to a 62 ring cigar in case you were wondering. This thing is so sharp it is retarded. If you happen to get some tobacco between the blades be very careful if you try to clean it with your fingers (trust me, i bled). It's a unique design with a locking knob to lock the blades closed for pocket travel. Upon releasing the blades, they pop open awaiting the opportunity to give you a razor sharp cut.

here's a video link to the model I chose. To me the man-o-war was the most attractive of the 3 offerings. If this thing ever breaks or gets lost it will be replaced with another of the same model. The best cutter I have tried to date.
