The history of Xikar began in 1994 in Kansas. Kurt Van Keppel (now president of Xikar), who wanted to buy a good cigar cutter, found many of the cheap models and high-end models to be of low performance. So, he and Scott Almsberger started designing a more ergonomic cigar cutter. The result was the Xi cutter, which they first made in their garage and is now the market leader.

XIKAR comes from the word sikar, which is said to be the first Spanish spelling of the Taino word for cigar. The Tainos were the indigenous populations of Spain and Cuba, where Columbus first landed when he discovered the “New World” and tobacco with it. We changed the S to an X (representing 2 blades) and had the X cutting the i, like a cutter cutting a cigar!

Today, the company produces a full range of products around cigars, such as lighters, travel humidors, ashtrays, cigar cases, humidifiers, hygrometers, etc.
