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!
nsezell: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.
nsezell: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...
