Below is a letter that Mark wrote to us explaining his support for XIKAR: In this world of 2005, where a customer is only important until the sale is made. Where problems with a products performance is ignored despite numerous pleas via emails and unreturned calls to customer service, there is an oasis, and its name is XIKAR. XIKAR is a company profoundly concerned with its customers satisfaction with its products, as evidenced by their lifetime guarantee on its innovative cigar cutters. If a cutter fails to perform to a customers liking they are urged to return it to the company and have it replaced or refurbished to its original quality. When was the last time you heard of a company policy like that? I have many XIKAR products and have always recommended them to friends who are looking for an attractive, unique and quality product, destined to bring many years of peak performance and satisfaction. That's why I close my emails with a picture of a
XIKAR with the phrase, my friends are a cut above
the rest and so is my cigar cutter!
