Hey there, Mike.  Been lookin' at an 11mm punch myself, just can't bring myself to pull the trigger.

The silly two more mm's makes a difference particularly wityh the larger ring gauges even some of the larger rg churchills.

For the cigars you smoke Joe, they are about the size of an 11mm!  Do you have a 007?  I just got one a few weeks back, amazing for the coronas.

I have an 009, about as big as I can go for anything 40-42rg.  I tend to like a little more open draw, though, so I use a V cutter or guillotine for anything over 46rg.

Amazing the different # of topics hit in a day!

I'm trying to remember what the general consensus about the Xikars was among this crowd.  Seems like it was, we like the Xi1 and Xi3, but not so much the Xi2.  Do I have that right?

I believe that is correct.  I have a Xi2 and it's ok but seems very plasticky.

I had a Rosewood Xi3 my wife gave me for about 6 or 7 years ago, maybe longer, and it was dulling so sent it back as they do have a great warranty - even covers getting dull.  They quickly replaced it at no charge.  Now the downside is the one I had was Made in U.S.A. but  the new replacement is clearly stamped Made in China.  I am not at all happy about that even though they will still warranty it for life.  Works ok though and feels the same just says the wrong thing if that matters to you.

Why should that matter?  The U.S. is made in China also.  Xikar is just cutting the middleman. 

The cigars you're cutting with the the Xikar aren't made in America...

Sure as Phuck not made in China either.

But major parts of Boeing and Airbus jets are, as are many parts of your vehicles.  But I agree with your sentiment.  When I can get things that are US made and they are things I want to last, I buy them.

Especially things made of steel.

The extra 2mm makes a difference and no, I don't get a cut from Xikar.  Howdy

Yep, I'm sure it does.  7mm was way too small for my liking.  +2mm, much better.  Add another 2mm and I could probably use it for everything.

I liked it just for the fact that I dont have to be as precise about ripping off the cap on a corona, lancero, etc...now I can punch it like a would use a 009 on a robusto
