The history of Xikar began in 1994 in Kansas. Kurt Van Keppel, (now president of Xikar), who wanted to purchase a good cigar cutter, found many of the cheap models and high-end models to be low-performing. So, he and Scott Almsberger started designing a more ergonomic cigar cutter. The result was the Xi cutter, which they first manufactured in their garages and is now the market leader.

XIKAR comes from the word sikar, which is said to be the first Spanish spelling of the Taino word for cigar. The Taino were the indigenous peoples of Spain and Cuba, where Columbus first landed when he discovered the “New World” and tobacco along with it. We changed the S to an X (representing 2 blades) and had the X cut the i, like a cutter cutting a cigar!

Today, the company produces a full range of products around cigars, such as lighters, travel humidors, ashtrays, cigar cases, humidifiers, hygrometers, etc.
