It has torn every cigar I have ever tried to cut with it. Oliva, Patel, Montecristo, Cohiba, Arturo Fuente... nothing can survive the blades on this thing. It pinches, pulls and ultimately rips and tears off the tip of your most prized cigs. Please don't torture yourself trying to make this cutter work properly. Looks nice in the collection though.

I like the idea of something that has "weight" to it and for the money it is ripe to be bought by me. I’m one of those cutter collectors myself and this one looks nice.

My review is based just on this cutter. As mentioned, it does have pros and cons - but in my opinion it's a nice cutter for around $20.00. I've had issues with the screws coming loose on some cutters I paid twice as much for so I don't see that as a fatal flaw. @The_J_Meister

I bought their guillotine/bullet cutter...FAIL. The blade wasn't that sharp and it was double edged so I couldn't have it sharpened and peices of the cutter came unglued. So if the reviewer found that the screws started to come loose, what's next? Plus, don't get me started on the other Colibri products I've made the mistake of buying.
