Is there such a thing as a good tabletop cutter?

Here is what I found that resembles the one at my local shop.

I have only used it once and had no issues. Maybe someone else can give more insight.

Ah. I'd seen that one also. Thanks, Zane. Thing with this one is, according to the description, it's for cigars 52-60 ring gauge. I'm most often smoking a cigar with a RG in the low to mid 40s. I rarely smoke anything larger than 50. So this tabletop cutter isn't for me.

I do appreciate that it offers both straight and cat eye cuts, it's attractive, appears well-constructed, and is reasonably priced. But I am puzzled why it's been designed for only large RG cigars.

Additionally, I've also seen a similar-looking stainless round tabletop cutter on both Famous and E-bay that says it'll accommodate smaller-sized cigars, but on Famous it's got two very negative reviews. Anybody familiar with this one?

A friend of mine has this one and uses it on all sizes. Says it's not a problem. The sizes listed in the specs is just for the cutouts in the metal.

I suggest guillotine cutter as it is handy, double bladed and provides a nice even cut and can brought with you whenever you go. You can buy it via Amazon or even in local cigar shops.
