Shuriken cutter
Thoughts? Has anyone, that attended the IPCPR, tried one? It is suppose to work on all shapes.

Re: Shuriken cutter
Here is some info on it. Looks pretty cool
http://cigars.about.com/b/2011/07/13...gar-cutter.htm Sure why fix it if it isn't broke, but it's always cool to try something new. |

I see lots of potential for tar issues due to the nature of the cuts. |

Re: Shuriken cutter
We had a rep from the company come by at a cigar event at a B&M near me at the beginning of the summer. He showed us how to use the cutter. You've got to cut into the head of the cigar and then *bite down* on the cap a little bit to open up the slits. It's an interesting cutter, but I prefer guillotines at this point.

Re: Shuriken cutter
This. I can see why it might be interesting....but I would not buy one. I dunno about the tar issues. I punch everything and I've probably punched 400-500 cigars with ZERO tar issues. I just think this is WAY too gimmicky, I've never smoked a NuB never wanted to. This is the same type deal. I'll pass. EDIT I also think looking at the cuts this would definitely not work on a PPP situation. Also it cuts way too low into the cigar, at least IMO.

I would definitely have one of these on hand if they ever perfect a time machine and I can go back to the 70's and smoke a cigar with Bruce Lee.

Re: Shuriken cutter
I'm a bit surprised how most people don't even want to give it a try. I'd definitely like to give it a try to see if it changes up the flavor of the cigar at all. By keeping pretty much the entire cap on the cigar you might get different flavors by having more of the wrapper in your mouth.

Re: Shuriken cutter
not sure, i do not get much flavor from mouth contact to the wrapper. to me all the flavor comes from the smoke.
