What makes this v-cutter so amazing is that it’s equipped with an inverted ultra-sharp blade that cuts from the top of your cigar and goes inward. Other v-cutters cut into the cigar and move outward increasing the chance of your cigar to crack. You'll love how easy Xikar has made it for you to get a reliable v-cut. Just one click with your forefinger and thumb springs open the 64-ring gauge bowl to place the cigar cap, and then simply press it closed for a precise cut that maximizes your draw. The VX2 is super easy to use, it’s guaranteed for life and it comes in a variety of colors.
