This announcement brought to you by my new cutter.

[localmonk]

I don't smoke a lot of cigars, but I really enjoy them, and for the time I've been smoking with any regularity I've used free/cheap cutters from B&Ms. At least until I butchered a few wrappers with one...

I decided to stop being so cheap after that and buy a decent, if not expensive, cutter. My Xikar Xi2 purchased on the net arrived not long ago and I gave a Padron the chop to test it out - what a difference. Perfect, effortless cut, no loose bits or busted wrapped.

I don't know anyone personally who likes cigars, so I thought I would create an account here (having lurked for a while) to share my enthusiasm for a pair of sharp blades. As we know, a large chunk of the enjoyment of cigars is the ritual, and how much better is that with a decent cutter!

Anyway. I tend to smoke more NC than CC and I keep a very small tupperdor containing about 25-30 cigars, cedar sheets and a digital hygrometer, on hand. I tend to find I don't need any humidification to keep it around the low sixties where I like it. You might say I'll outgrow the tiny tupperdor, but I've had it quite a while now and have found it sufficient for my needs... so far...

Anyway, I'll see you around the various threads no doubt.

Cheeze Cutter!

...You might say I'll outgrow the tiny tupperdor, but I've had it quite a while now and have found it sufficient for my needs... so far...

One might say that, but since you already have, no need.

Welcome to the show, chico!

localmonk came from the label of a beer bottle that was sitting around at the time I created my account, there was some reference on the label to a 'local monk' doing something or other that the marketing department had come up with. I can't recall specifically which beer now...

Haha, oh dear. I think I was drinking Camden Brewery beers that day, but I can't be sure now since I had a few... maybe something else was in there too. No spesh though!
