I got a pm from one of our newer brothers, asking for some advice on the proper care of a cutter. Yes, we all know that small pieces of tobacco become caught in cutters, which may or may not affect the performace of a cutter. At first I thought it was a silly question, but then I started wondering who else my have the same question.
Personally, I only use a Palio, and there are many other good cutters out there. They generally all work in the same principle though. Two blades coming together to cut the cap of a cigar. My Palio has been in the pool, the washer, let outside in the rain and it keeps cutting just like the day I bought it.
How I cleam my Palio is simple. I use a small amout of alcohol on the rails and blades of the cutter to remove any residue and tobacco. I also use a little air pressure from my compressor to blow out any other particles that may become trapped. When cleaning the blades, please use caution as they are very sharp!
This same method can be used for any other cutter. I hope this helped answer anyone's question.
