I got one for x-mas, cut two smokes and it shredded the cap, I called CC and they said to tighten the screws, I did, tried it again, same thing. So I called and returned it for a nice guilotine, which I like very much.
Its more of a novelty than an efficient cutter. The design is flawed, 3 blades and the cut between the top and the bottom blade leaves a uneven cut on the head of the cigar.
Thats just my .02 try it for yourself.
