I am very pleased with using scissors. Mostly I use the Xikar Multitool. I just nip off a tiny slice of cap.
I smoke predominantly full body stogies, so I can occasionally get a bitter build up at the cap. I'll "freshen up" my cigar with a thin slice of the scissors. Works well for me.

Hope this doesn't get me kicked out of the club 
. But another one of my hobbies is knives. So I've been using my Chris Reeve Sebenza as a cigar cutter. Maybe I'll give it up if you guys can show me a cigar cutter with a titanium body and S30V blade. Yummmy titanium...... [img=left]http://www.chrisreeve.com/sebenza.jpg[/img]

Looking at your electric cutter, I can't stop cracking up. Food processor to cut cigars (Sorry, I can't resist this one).
Very nice cutter.

A good cigar should have a solid constructed cap...
Which surprises me with Padron, I love their cigars but feel the cap could be better constructed......
The fingers are pretty easy, I'll just put my finger together and and slowly dig my nails into the cap and twist the cigar with a pinching motion, works awesome, but doesn't make for the cleanest cut!!

Yeah, I bought it mainly to see the reactions I would get from friends. However it does give a surprisingly fine cut. I look at it as an oddity such as those electric jar openers I see popping up all over. For the price, I just couldn't resist. :lol:
I mostly use a Xikar scissor cutter, but I have a double guillotine that I use every once in a while. I'll have to invest in a punch cutter soon.
I typically use a punch cutter for a round cap and a guillotine for a torpedo. I have been know to employ a v-cut from time to time. On rare occasion I've used my teeth.
I always remove the bands.
I light with a lighter, and draw only after the entire edge around the foot is glowing (the wrapper is well lit).

Just purchased the best cutter I have ever owned. A Credo double sissor cutter.Pricey at $100 but a perfect cut evert time for those who like to open up the end of the cigar.Punch cutters don't work for me- too little a hole. My X3 works great but the Credo is wonderful.

I will put the Credo Scissors on my 'someday' list, I think I would like them. I just started using an X2, it is the best cutter I've owned so far, previous best was a knockoff double guillotine.
