Hey all!

been away for a while, recently purchased my first home & have had so much to deal with that i haven't had a chance to be online much!

Now that i am finally getting round to being settled in, I was looking to purchase a new cutter (seem to have lost my old one in transition to the new house) & had seen that Xikar were releasing the XO Cutter & was just wondering what the opinions of it were?!

turning 30 a week on Friday so was thinking i may treat myself with the XO (being a big (Glasgow) Rangers fan I really like the blue with black blades that they offer!

Cheers,

Great looking cutter https://www.xikar.com/products/cutters/xo/
And you know with Xikar they are very well built and exceptionally backed. 

Go ahead and treat yourself!

I agree with the other guys, I have 2 Xikar cutters and love them, of course the lifetime warrenty doesn't hurt.
This is not the admin you're looking for...

Runewolf - I dont know of any cigar bars around me in Glasgow, so i hopefully wont be 'misplacing' it any time soon!

Nirab - thank you! it has had it's initial teething problems (as i am sure all homeowners will no doubt have experienced) but it is definitely the best decision i have ever made (other than taking up cigars of course!).

Ninfiction - yeah the lifetime warranty definitely helps with the decision making process!

I am definitely sold on a Xikar cutter (and in particular the XO), I can get it for around £95 over here ($120 give or take) so seems like it is inline with the normal costs as well!

What lighter do you have Joe? i want to invest in a good one too now that i have my own proper space!

My plan is to be turning my spare bedroom in to a mancave & with me being on the third floor (top level flat) i want to be able to smoke in that room aswell (ultimately need to look in to ventilation/purification options as i dont want the room smelling musty/full of old smoke & also need to contain it as much to that room as possible!)

just need to get some of the more important things done before i can focus my efforts on my room!

Love Xikar cutters. Pretty much all I buy now. The XO is new to me, but it looks like something my ham fists would fumble all over the place! I pretty much moved to the scissors exclusively, but you really can't go wrong with anything Xikar IMO. Will be interested to hear your experiences with the XO. Looks a little unwieldy to use?

that looks like an amazing cutter...

Ted, i shall feed back (eventually) on how it is to use! I broke my old cutter transtitioning between my parents & my new house, so anything, even unwieldy, shall be an upgrade!! Haha

Once it arrives i shall supply feedback for anyone that is interested!
