Guys, I found this while surfing the net...xikar xi2 cutters at Famous Smoke for $19.95...pretty good deal, i ordered one, but noticed that i didn't get to choose color, so i may end up with a pink one, like idesigns'...lol...

They also have a deal which includes 4 Cohiba Robustos and an Xi2 cutter for $40.

The cigars are 5 x 49 Robustos, natural wrapper, full strength.

Is this a good deal? I know nothing about the cigars. It sounds good, assuming that the cigars are worth $5 each.

leave the cohiba's at famous, and order the perdomo cammies, or FDO corojo for 11.00...you'll be much better off...

I like the Cohiba's. Actually a year or so ago that is how I got my Xikar. The Cohibas usually sell for 9 or 10 bucks a piece for the robusto. They are one of my favorites.

Good deal on Xikars, but Stogies isn't pink; it has a sheep pic on it though!

Loved my Xikar at first but now it sort of sticks when I hit the button to open it rather then snapping open like it used to. Is it worth it to send it back or just buy a new one?

BrendanMOC,

I have been using the shop's Xikar cutter while mine is sent away. It sees a lot of action and gets gummed up at times. Typically, a blast of compressed air and some light oil should get it back to working order.

If not, send them an e-mail, they will take care of you.

There are references within that post that I am far too green to understand. They certainly don't make the cigars sound appealing though.

Mail it back, they will send you a brand new one. My local shop, where my wife bought mine, will ship it back for me.

Have you EVER oiled it? It does say right in the manual that you're supposed to oil them. If you have, then like (I believe) Ruger said, send it in and get a new one .

I just ordered one.

If it's pink, I will try to sell it to Idesign.

I've already got one

i love my xi2, it has never let me down.

Per customer service, all cutters for the $20 deal are lapis blue.

thanks for finding this out, i've been worried i'd get the idesign pink one, or the green one...the blue isn't too bad...

You have to be hardcore to own a pink cutter. Wusses.....lol

I got my package yesterday, everything in good shape, although i prefer my singles shipped in ziplock bags, but my xikar is awesome...rjsone said he had talked with customer service, and lapis blue was color for this special...but mine is granite...very nice...great chance to get xikar for 19.95...

did you hear about the tie-dyed cutter they came out with at the RTDA?

do you mean the XI3 Spectra, the metallic funky colored one? It is a purpley/blue/green/depends on how you look at it color? Its like 80 bucks on the Xikar site if thats the one your talking about.
