Nice! I've got the 2 packet Boveda holder (inherited in the tuppedor that ninfiction gifted me) and it works really slick!

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I have a couple of the 2's as well, needed an upgrade though.  I was still throwing loose packs in my footlocker humidor.  8 Packs should rock it nicely though.

Real nice toys. I know you'll love both the lighter and the cutter, I happen to own the exact same ones and they have been doing their respective jobs flawlessly for quite some time. They are the XI3 cutter and Executive 2 lighter right?

I actually throw a loose one into each of the three lower partitioned areas in my foot locker.  Is there a good reason not to do that?

Those are very nice. Let us know how the lighter and cutter work out for you.

I only worry that I am going to bust them with all of the boxes in there.  I plan on keeping 4 down there, 4 up top, all in holders though.  Just for protection sake.

Kind of a mess in mine.

Ok, that makes sense.  I've totally maximized my storage by stacking individual sticks in the lower compartments, no boxes in mine.  Love the capacity of that foot locker, but hate the digging...

Is the lighter prone to scratching?  I would like to keep it in my pocket with my keys, but I'd rather not scratch up the lighter.

Yes it is. I actually own 2 of them (Executive and Executive 2). Both have the same exact finish and paint. One I carry in my pockets and is barely black anymore, that's how much it is scratched, but I don't much care or I'd send it back and they'd refinish it or send me a new one no questions asked. The other one I use only at home and care for a little more and, after a couple of years it's still like new. I do keep it in the box it came when not using it and I don't use it that often as I have lighters in many places. But they both function perfectly.

And that cutter is just amazing as far as I'm concerned. Blades do need to be cleaned once in a while for continued good service, at least that's my experience with them but it's true of every cutter. I use isopropyl alcohol to clean the blades.

 Head over to Xikar's website and register your products.  They will send you leather sleeves made for each device to keep them protected.  Another good thing about their warranty is if the paint gets scratched or worn out they will replace it under warranty at any time.

 I use this Xikar case that holds my lighter and cutter which keeps them safe too.  The first one is the one I am currently using which is going to get retired soon because I have a brand new backup waiting to get used.
