LP version. Includes download code. Berlin-based Japanese vibraphonist and composer Masayoshi Fujita, after releasing more ambient-based electronic recordings of the vibraphone under his el fog alias, became more interested in the sound of the vibraphone itself. He started to compose acoustic pieces and released his first solo album under his real name, titled Stories, in early 2013. Apologues sees Fujita use an array of instruments besides his lead instrument for the first time, such as the violin, cello, flute, clarinet, French horn, accordion, piano, and snare drum - played by friends, but arranged by Fujita himself. My idea was to let those instruments express their own images or atmospheres that each instruments have by nature, or have been given in their history, and not treating them just as accompaniments of the vibraphone. Also, it was new for me to compose a song as a whole. As I wrote the vibraphone part first, I tried to hear other sounds in my head and tried to leave enough room for them and sometimes play only fundamental parts on the vibes. In addition to the mallets, Fujita often plays the vibraphone with a violin or cello bow, like on Tears of Unicorn and Knight and Spirit of Lake. He also places bead strings on the vibraphone bars to create an ambient shimmer that can be heard on songs like Moonlight and Swallow Flies High in the May Sky. The latter was composed to let the clarinet express it's characteristics and tell it's story, while the vibraphone takes a supporting role. The clarinet sounds very warm and soft and very 'spring' to me, says Fujita. Inspired by the silence and deepness of the fog, the mountains and the gravity within, his music has a unique, evocative atmosphere. He connects the song Requiem, which he composed for French horn, to images of mountains, fields and the far away. Tears of Unicorn was inspired by a painting that features in Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli animation Kiki's Delivery Service (1989), drawn by a woman that lives in the forest. With this album the main idea was to evoke images, atmospheres, sceneries and stories in the listener, the images that have accumulated in myself. At the same time it was an exploration of the unexplored beauty of the vibraphone, and also a pursuit of the charm of the instrumentation and the music itself. -Fujita

Great looking cigar cutter, would make a nice gift
Nicely made and feels pretty good quality for the price. It's not heirloom quality or anything but it's very solid and made to last. Finish is great, it feels good in hand and has no sharp edges or blemishes as is common on many of these products.
This includes a pretty complete set of all the cutters you could need all in one device, would make either a nice starter tool or would be a great gift to upgrade to if you know anyone still using one of those cheap plastic ones from the cigar shop.
The steel appears to be chinese made and not super high quality, but it's also unlikely to see hard use. I would expect it to last most of a lifetime without sharpening if only used on clean cigars and not abused.

The Ultimate Cigar Toolkit: A 5-in-1 Must-Have for Aficionados
This 5-in-1 Cigar Cutter Set is an incredibly thoughtful and practical piece of gear, making it a fantastic gift for any cigar enthusiast—or a brilliant upgrade for yourself. While it's not a 'perfect 5-star' tool in every single function, its sheer versatility and excellent ergonomic design earn it a very strong four stars.
The main attraction is the built-in versatility. Having a Cigar V Cutter, Flat Cutter, and a Cigar Punch all in one compact, ergonomically-designed unit is a game-changer. It eliminates the need to carry three separate tools and the frustration of realizing you left your preferred cutter at home. The cutters themselves are sharp, providing clean, crisp cuts right out of the box, though, like any blade, their longevity will depend on regular maintenance.
Where this set truly shines and elevates itself beyond a simple cutter is the inclusion of the Cigar Draw Enhancer and the simple yet effective Cigar Holder. The draw enhancer is a lifesaver for those tightly packed cigars that refuse to cooperate; it's easy to use and significantly improves the smoking experience when needed. The holder is a small but welcome addition, giving you a clean place to rest your cigar when a proper ashtray isn't available.
The ergonomic design is well-executed. It feels substantial and secure in the hand, which is crucial for making a confident cut. It has a premium look and weight that makes it an impressive item to unbox and use.
The only reason this set doesn't quite hit a full five stars is minor: while all tools are functional, the punch and draw enhancer, while very useful, can occasionally be a little tricky to deploy or stow quickly compared to their standalone counterparts. For example, a dedicated V-cutter might offer a slightly deeper, more customized cut. However, this is an acceptable trade-off for the unparalleled convenience of having all five tools together.
Overall: If you value convenience, functionality, and portability, this 5-in-1 set is an excellent investment. It’s an ideal gift that says, "I want you to have the best experience possible with your cigars," and is genuinely useful on any occasion—whether it’s a Christmas stocking stuffer or a Father's Day present. You won't regret adding this versatile piece to your collection.

Absolutely blown away!
I got this 5-in-1 cigar cutter set to try out, and right away I was impressed by how versatile it is. The built-in V-cutter and punch both cut clean and precise — whether I went with a deep V or a quick punch, the draw came out smooth every time. The flat cutter and draw-enhancer add even more flexibility, especially when dealing with a tighter cigar. The tool feels solid in the hand with good weight, and the carbon-fiber design gives it a classy look without being flashy or over the top.
Where this set really shines is convenience and portability. It’s compact enough to carry anywhere, yet gives you everything you need — cut, punch, tweak the draw, or even hold the cigar without juggling multiple accessories. For casual smoking, travel, or keeping it in the car for last-minute sessions, it’s the perfect all-in-one tool. For the price and everything it packs in, it’s a practical, stylish, and reliable addition to any cigar lover’s kit.

A Stunning and Flawless All-in-One Tool
I'm a casual cigar smoker, and I was getting tired of juggling a separate guillotine cutter and a punch. I wanted one solid, all-in-one tool that could do everything and look good doing it.
Honestly, when I took this out of the box, I was blown away. The first thing you notice is the weight and how solid it feels in your hand, definitely not a cheap, flimsy tool. It’s incredible how sleek it looks; the design reminds me of one of those fancy minimalist metal wallets. It just has a really premium, high-end feel.
But the real magic is in how many features it has. You get a perfect guillotine cut, a sharp V-cut, and a punch, all in one compact device. It even has a little poker tool that slides out, which is a lifesaver for a tightly packed cigar. It’s everything you need, all in one place.
And the best part is just how well it works. I was worried that a multi-tool might compromise on quality, but that's not the case here. The blades were sharp! Every cut I've made, whether it's the straight cut or the V-cut, has been incredibly clean and precise. The spring action is smooth, and the whole thing just operates flawlessly.
Overall, this cutter completely exceeded my expectations. It's a beautifully designed, incredibly versatile, and highly effective tool that feels like it should cost way more than it does. It's the perfect single accessory for any cigar smoker and would make an amazing gift. Five stars, hands down.

A Must-Have Tool for Every Cigar Enthusiast
As someone who enjoys a good cigar, I was thrilled to try out the DXXULL 5-in-1 Cigar Cutter Set, and it did not disappoint. This tool is incredibly versatile, offering everything I need in one compact design. The built-in cigar V cutter, flat cutter, and punch are all super sharp and make cutting my cigars a breeze. Switching between the different functions is seamless, and I love how sturdy and well-made it feels in my hand.
One of the standout features for me is the cigar draw enhancer. It’s a game-changer for those times when a cigar is rolled a bit too tight. This tool makes sure every draw is smooth and enjoyable. The ergonomic design is another plus, as it fits comfortably in my hand without any awkwardness, and I appreciate the added convenience of having a cigar holder included. It's like the Swiss army knife of cigar tools!
Overall, this set has become an essential part of my cigar experience. It’s perfect for both casual smokers and serious aficionados alike. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends, and they’ve been just as impressed. If you’re looking for a reliable and multifunctional cigar accessory, this is definitely worth considering.
