Nothing Dunhill makes is cheap! They are luxury items in the cigar world, and most would say their accessories are overpriced. If you want a cigar cutter try to find one like Magnum's grandfather gave him. Several companies make them, and I am sure you can find a nice one at a reasonable price.
The only thing about those cutters is that you couldn't cut a larger ring gauge with it. I'd bet, just by looking at it, you'd probably only be able to cut a 50 ring gauge if you were lucky. Something like a Xikar can get you to a 60 and there are tons of good smokes these days 50+.
I should have explained further. I believe the one his grandfather gave him was a Dunhill. Type up their name and you'll find the round coin style cigar cutter. If anyone can find a differnet name brand that looks like that. PLEASE post it I would love to have one if it was under $100 or less.
I just received the cigar cutter in the mail tonight and am very happy to have it on my desk by the humidor.
It is actually a Donatus from Soligen Germany. This is the one item I was ecstatic to bid on much less have the winning bid. Now to enjoy a Macanudo that is going to be cut with it. Wes
I've heard good things about the Palio as well. I do love my Xikar though, and I don't think I would trade it for anything! Now if I could only find a lighter that works as well. Most of mine crap out after a couple of years. Right now I have a twelve dollar Colibri that I have had a little over a year. When it dies I'm going to try a Xikar and see if their lighters are as good as their cutters.
Yes it’s a Dunhill PA 5205 and I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase the one used in the show. Very nice cutter and smoked a Montecristo #2 in the first night I got it!
I purchased the Cigar Cutter off of EBay used by Magnum in the Episode Compulsion season 5. It is a Donatus from Soligen and Magnum borrows a cigar from Higgins Humidor and uses the Cigar cutter to cut a v in the end of it. Higgins proceeds to tell the story of his Mates from Sandhurst who are coming for a visit.I also have purchased the Dunhill as well but not the one used one the show.
