$150 vs $3 V Cut Cigar Cutter Showdown: Which is the Best?

We put 6 V-cut cigar cutters to the test to find out which is the best in 2022. From the $150 Colibri Quasar 2 in 1 Desktop cutter to the $2.99 Vertigo VC100 Vicotry. We test their cut, durability, and sharpness. The results are surprising. Cheap vs Expensive tests are always fun. We also test the Xikar VX2, Lotus Jaws, Cigarloong, and Firebird Viper.
In regards to the sharpness Rating:
150 - 200 Razor Blade Sharp
250 - 375 High End Cutlery
400 - 800 Moderately Rolled Edge
800+ Do Not Use for Revenge

If you're looking for a straight cutter, then check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pabcZaB6edqsa8k

[@SeanKillblane]

I appreciate the production value of this. Not sure how the views don’t match the quality.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

I appreciate that @seankillblane . I think it's because there is practically nothing like it on KZbin and the algorithm has no idea what to do with this type of content yet. It's a brand new sub niche. ... that's my guess anyways. But hey man, comments like yours make it all worth while! Thank you!

[@dreamofmirrors]

Very well done! I wasn't expecting to find something like this on YT.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

A better compliment cannot be written. Thank you my friend 💪

[@D.J.Zaragoza-px6id]

Amazing review. Made my choice easier to pick after this. And then I saw your review on Amazon. Good stuff. And thank you again!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Makes my day when reading comments like yours. Thank you for the kind words and I hope you have a great experience with your cutter.

[@johns9990]

Thanks for the helpful test!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Love to hear that man! Happy it helped!

[@michaelr6182]

I have the Cigarloong! I'm glad you reviewed it. The cut is very clean and the weight gives it a quality feel!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Agreed on all accounts.

[@nusudahwdo3181]

Amazing vid thank you!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

The pleasure is mine. Thank you for the kind words.

[@petrl9838]

Thanks for the great quality video

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Thank you for the awesome comment!

[@supremotabako]

Fantastic test. I really love my Xikar XV2. It cuts clean and works well for me. I have to admit though, the Cigarloong has me intrigued. Will definitely check it out. 🙌🏽

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

I bought the Cigarloong (because I destroyed the test one) from the guillotine test and have loved it ever since. I will probably get this one as well. Wish I knew who made this product, because we're probably making them a lot of money 😋

[@supremotabako]

@@RepublicofDebauchery haha you probably are!!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Thank you for the good info brother

[@FluffyMamaJay]

I saw your comment on Amazon on the cigar long and had to find your video. So very happy I did!!!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

This is my favorite comment ever! You made me so happy! Was it easy to find this video for you?

[@FluffyMamaJay]

@@RepublicofDebauchery actually it was very easy. I literally just searched v-cutter and it was maybe the second or 3rd video

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

This is the best news ever! Thank you so much, you really just made my day. And I am glad this video was helpful for you! 😀

[@DanyulLaiho]

This video is what made me buy the cigarloong v cut and I have to say its bang on. Great cutter. Really nice design on it too

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

That's amazing, honestly, I'm so nervous to put these videos out in case someone is disappointed. I'm glad to hear it's a good recommendation. Thank you brother! 🙌

[@4cavs23]

@@RepublicofDebauchery are these easy to use? In the sense you can’t push the cigar in too far? I always seem to butcher cutting my own cigar.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

@@4cavs23 Great question! The answer is YES! V cutters have a set depth, you cannot go too deep with them. Great for novice cigar smokers.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

I say novice smokers, but I have been smoking cigars for 18 years and still ruin cigars from time to time by cutting too deep. Another great cutter is a perfecto guillotine cutter, it has a backing so you can't go too deep as well.

[@ersgtr3421]

Project Farm of cigar cutters. Thanks guys

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Greatest comment ever! Project Farm was 100% the motivation behind these videos.

[@xifeicigaraccessory]

Very nice review about the vcutters. XIFEI launches several new vcutters this year. Welcome to test XIFEI V Cutters next time. 🤝

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Let's do this Xifei! Our next video is punch cutters, then torch lighters. Submit your best opponent for the torture test 😀

[@chiefintheleaves]

Great video, guys! The table top is my go to at the studio. It pained me to see it dropped and abused 😅

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

You have the Quasar? Ha ha, yeah, that thing is a beauty, it hurt. I filmed a goodbye video on my phone before dropping it 😂 Only had it for a few days, never got to use it.

[@Dailyfiver]

I appreciate the full price range of these, but the low middle range ones work great for me. They’re expensive enough for durability, and cheap enough not to break the bank

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

I agree. Nothing over the $20 range has justified its price..... so far

[@luluyuyu5547]

You earned a subscriber

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

That's the biggest compliment any KZbinr can ask for. Thank you very much!

[@WindsorRealEstateProperties]

Love my colibri quasar

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

I have yet to meet a single Quasar owner that has regrets. What a great product.

[@Wicked_4355]

I picked up the cigarloong one off Temu just because I’ve never used a v cut before and wanted to see if I would like it before investing in a nice one. It was only like $16 on Temu and cut my cigar great tonight! I was looking up videos to pick out a good v cut now since I do enjoy it on the torpedo I’m smoking tonight and apparently the cigarloong might last me longer than I thought. I’ll just keep using it when I want a v cut now and wait until I see a v cutter I really like and want instead of worrying about the cigarloong not lasting and spending the money for the xikar or calibri that I don’t really like the style of.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

That's awesome! Yeah, that Cigarloong is a great value. I have been using mine for the past year and my only complaint is that the hole is a little too small for 56+ ring gauges. Other than that, it's the best cutter I have ever owned.

[@smasher.338]

I have some bootleg based on the colibri diamond, and it has worked flawlessly for me.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Ha ha, love the honesty.

[@mycigaradventures8322]

I like my $40 Colibri deep V!

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

That will have to be on the next V Cutter Showdown.

[@smokesgtp]

Good cutter. Performs similarly to the VX2 IMO

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

@@smokesgtp Putting both of these on the list for the next showdown.

[@ImranShamsul]

I noticed the centre of the VX2 is not as sharp as its sides. You'd probably have to cut the thing in half test the sharpness test. I found it strange that the top isn't also as sharp.

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Awwww man. I completely missed that. Is that straight out of the box, or after some use?

[@ImranShamsul]

@RepublicofDebauchery straight out of the box sadly. I'm getting some rough cuts on one side of the cap. I'm not sure if the cigar is to dry (but doesn't feel like that) or the blades aren't all sharp. I'm not in the USA so the warranty claim postage is basically the same cost as buying a new cutter 🤦‍♂️ overall, it's like 85-90% of the way there

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

That's sad to hear. Getting saw dust like flakes in your mouth when trying to enjoy a cigar could ruin that experience. Have you moved on to something new?

[@ImranShamsul]

@RepublicofDebauchery not yet, i bought this cutter three weeks ago 😅 luckily in the V it's a clean cut, just the cap has a few tiny ragged bits. I've never used a V cut before, but it smokes well and has a good draw. I really like the synchronised guillotine cutter xikar... maybe next year or next Christmas 🤪👀

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

@@ImranShamsul Yeah, we noticed it had a slightly rough cut too. I prefer the Cigarloong, even though it's made by a chinese company, it's a pretty good value, but can only cut 54 RG and below. We're thinking about reaching out to them and getting branded ones for ourselves for our new site.

[@drunkgirls111]

Is there any difference in taste flavour when it's a shallow v cut vs a deep v cut?

[@RepublicofDebauchery]

Yes, but slightly. The larger the opening, the less concentrated the smoke. It's noticeable towards the end as you get more build up.
