How I fixed my Xikar Xi3 cigar cutter 

You're welcome. Been taking stuff apart to see how it works since I was about 3. My family says my first dismantling project was going around my uncle's house an pulling the pins out of the hinges to see how they work. Luckily I was kinda short at 3 years old and could only reach the bottom pins...

Thanks for the info. I AM so glad I didn't toss it. These things really are great cutters.

Good to know. I also thought the guts were cool. Always wondered how they got it to pop open and closed like it does.
