Description
XIKAR Xi1 Phantom Black stands out with its bold character and timeless all-black aesthetic. A refined accessory that blends technical precision with understated luxury.
Its patented XIKAR® double guillotine system delivers a clean, precise cut without damaging the wrapper. The stainless steel blades operate in perfect synchronization, symmetrically embracing the cigar before the cut, while the lightweight yet durable aluminum body offers excellent balance and a confident feel in hand.
The Xi1 cuts up to 64-ring gauge cigars, comfortably covering the majority of vitolas in any collection. Its ergonomic design enhances comfort and stability, offering a firm grip and a solid, premium sensation.
The history of Xikar company begins in 1994 in Kansas. Kurt Van Keppel, (now president of Xikar) who wanted to buy a good cigar cutter, found many of the cheap models and high quality models with low performance. So he started with Scott Almsberger to design a more ergonomic handpiece. The result was the Xi cutter, which they built for the first time 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 word Taino for the cigar. The Tahn were the native populations of Spain and Cuba, where Columbus landed for the first time when he discovered the New World and smoke with him. We changed S to an X (representing 2 blades) and we had X cut the i, like a cutter that cuts a cigar!
Today, the company produces a complete range of cigar products such as lighters, travel humidors, ashtrays, duty clocks, humidifiers, hygrometers etc, offering a lifetime guarantee for its products.
