I'm look for a nice, classy lighter with an attached guillotine cutter. For the sake of convience having a lighter and cutter in one would be a big help.
I bought a triple flame with a punch cutter not to long ago, as kind of an impulse, but I cant think of a time when I'd ever use a punch, also I think triple flame is a bit too much for me.
So I'm looking for a torch lighter with a build-in gullotine cutter, all I've been able to find is that Japanese Blazer Optimus lighter which I've heard alot of bad things about.
Can anyone suggest a different/better option? Is the Blazer Optimus really that bad?

I have not seen a lighter with a built-in cutter for a while now. Colibri used to make one (still may) but the cutter was terrible -- not very sharp and did not slide well.
I have seen lighters with built-in punches and usually these attached punches are not that great either.
Your best best is to get a nice lighter and a nice cutter like a Xikar or Palio with a case and carry both...

I believe I have the Colibri that CigarNut is talking about. It is called "The Don". The built-in cutter is used strictly out of convenience. It is a single blade and is virtually useless on anything larger than a 50 ring gauge. While it is more to carry, a good triple flame torch and a Xikar cutter will do the job a hell of a lot better.

Blazer Chief II has a cutter attached via a magnet. Not sure if it is any good. It was mentioned in the most recent issue of Playboy.

I have the Colibri Boss with the double blade Guillotine cutter and the prometheus with the scissor cutter.
They both stink. The added bulk is simply not worth the convenience and the colibri cutter is garbage.
