    adamkhalil:
    Can someone pm the link to the $18 xi2 if its still available? I've been wanting a Xikar but can't justify the $40+ prices i've found since i'm a poor student (and $40 goes a long way towards ccom deals or beer!)

    THANKS!

    Also, i could use help on how to access a PM? LOL!
    You should see a menu in the top right corner. Just click on the link titled 'Inbox'.

    Ah, I had just lost my cheapo cigar cutter the other day, so I guess this is the perfect time to upgrade, anyone want to throw that $18 Xi2 link at me?

    And what do you guys think about Xikar's cigar punches? i've never tried a punch, but I was also looking at those.

    I got a punch at my B&M for 5 bucks when I first started smoking. I can't think of anything xikar could improve upon it...It's still cutting and it doesn't tear anything...just a standard bullet punch. I wouldn't spend the 20-30 bucks for a xikar punch if it was me.

    Well, since there's no PM, I assume the deals dead - really too bad :(

    IMH experience, the xikar cuts as well as a new cheapo; difference between the 2 being that the xikar doesn't dull as quickly, and the re-sharpening is free, whereas the cheapo needs to be re-bought after some time

    well, I got my cheapo about 2 years ago and I've cut at least 100 sticks with it, it still cuts fine...I'm not sure how long it will take for a punch to dull on average, but mine is still good...

    You only smoke about 1 cigar a week or do you use another cut source as well ?

    I use my double g-tine (not sure how to spell that) a lot more than my punch. I only use my punch for sticks with a big ring gauge and rounded cap. Other than that, I pull it out occasionally to change it up. I smoke about 3-5 on average a week...fewer during the winter (usually go to a bar for it) and almost 7 a week during the warmer times.

    I see..... I usually smoke about 8-12 a week in the summer and about 4-6 a week in the winter...wish I had a good bar close to me , I envy you guys that do ...

    I just checked and don't see the same deal I got in the past. I would assume after all this time its dead.
