Description

Xikar Xi3 cigar cutter with ebony handles features robust stainless steel blades and the same ergonomic “tear” shape found in the company’s other cigar cutters. It has a double guillotine that provides precision cutting with a single motion.

It can cut cigars with a ring gauge of 54 in half, and depending on how much you wish to cut, it can cut up to a ring gauge of 58.

It is exceptionally elegant, as the ebony handles are known for their discreet reddish-brown striations that contrast beautifully with the light-colored wood.

The history of Xikar 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-end 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, cigar cases, humidifiers, hygrometers and so on
