I've been eyeing the xikar mtx. I've been smoking alot of flake tobacco in my pipe lately and could use the mtx to cube/trim the flake and also use it for cutting my cigars. I keep watching for a deal on one but they always seem a bit expensive.
That expense stretched out over your entire life is just about nothing on a per-use basis. Plus, the gain in terms of quality is just unrivaled. It's not just you cutting your cigar anymore, you practically jizz in your pants before you've even tasted the smoke.

Working the balls is great... until one day when it's not enough, then you find yourself on a slippery slope to some pretty scary things.

Back on topic... I was using a punch exclusively because my favorite lighter has two of them built into it, but on more than one occasion I found myself away from home with nothing but that lighter and ended up with several cigars that had less than favorable draws as a result. Since then, I don't remember that last time I used a punch.

This is too funny. I'm with ya. I started using a punch to start, and then I found that the cigars were turning a bit harsh from the concentration of smoke. I'm hoping to pick up a pair of cigar scissors soon to see how that is!

Like others have mentioned the xikar multi tool is great and it always comes with me on my smoking excursions. I prefer it to the tear drop cutters in fact.

I prefer using a Palio. I have used scissors before...used to have the Xikar multi-tool...thought it was awkward for my big hands/fingers. I have also used the scissors in the Swiss Army Knife made for cigars, and thought it works well. Just don't have a need to carry it.

I like the idea of a portable pair of scissors, such as the Xikar for when I am out. I would like to have a "dress" pair for home use, to go with a table lighter. Having difficulty finding something that is a bit more GQ. Anyone know of places to look?

If you can find them Matt booth (room 101) has some killer looking scissors they are brass nucks! I know they are hard to find and don't know if that is quite what your looking for but they are pretty bad ass...

Davidoff (Zino) have pairs that are very classy looking they are just a little much IMHO for a pair of scissors I've seen them range from 600+
