I have to agree about Xikar. I have a cutter and a punch by them (I use the punch most often). I also use, when at home, a Blazer lighter (as some of the younger FTMs in my support group called it, my "crack" lighter).
I have a huge list of cigars I like and only a few I don't like. I run my own cigar blog (
http://www.cigarnewbie.com). I know that not everyone likes cigars and such but I have found that a good cigar, a nice drink (cold water and/or whiskey/scotch/bourbon) and a beautiful woman (not necessarily in that order) is a great way to wind down the day.
