Looking for a good multi-size punch

I've been wanting to buy a punch for a while, but haven't wanted to be limited to just one size. I'm familiar with the one produced by Victorinox Swiss Army, but there don't seem to be many places around here that carry that line or can order it. I've also seen a fancy multi-sized punch by either Davidoff or Dunhill, but don't feel like spending close to $300 for an accessory.

Any recommendations of other multi-size punch makers?

I punch every cigar I smoke and in my experience, if the draw is tight enough to need opening up further, it needs to be clipped.

I love mine. The blade is razor sharp if you want to circumcise the head as well.

That's the one I'd been thinking of and wouldn't mind buying.... plus that's a nice price. Unfortunately Amazon.com can't ship it to Canada.

Try KnifeCenter - I've bought a bunch of stuff from them and they seem like good folks:

Edit: They do indeed ship to Canada:

[font="""]Canadian orders:
Canadian Orders are shipped via FedEx. Small packages cost approximately $24.95 US. Additional charges will be added for insurance (over $100 US in value) and heavier packages. It is approximately $3-4 US for each additional pound. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS, DUTIES, AND TAXES. THESE MUST BE PAID BY THE CUSTOMER DIRECTLY. WE CHARGE ONLY FOR OUR SHIPPING COSTS.[/font]
 
I use the same punch as mmburtch from Victonix. Actually have it in my pocket right now. It is a great cigar punch, and I would highly recommend it. More compact and easier to carry around than a cutter. Knife even works for pyramid shaped cigars.
 
....I always wanted one of these, so I just ordered it....

Here is a good price on ebay:

Another vote for the Swiss Army Knife punch... it's the only tool I use now unless I need to clip a Pyrimide or something.

It's great!
 
Although it's not multi-sized, I recently bought one of these off Fia at a local smoker. Xikar 009

I already have smaller punches and they work well enough, but this fatty, all I can say is it's my favorite to date. Almost the size of actually clipping it!
 
I have this lighter. It is a multi size punch and a twin flame lighter. I find that it works very well, and I rarely use my Palio cutter after getting this lighter.



EDIT - This is not where I bought it from, just the first place that Google came up with...

In my experience, the blade on this Swiss Army cigar punch/knife is sharp enough to take the top of a pyramid. I've done it several times myself.

One more vote for the Victorinox Swiss Army. I punch all of my cigars except torpedoes. You hardly know that this little knife is in your pocket. After going through two Calibri Oscars, this little knife/punch should last a long time :thumbs:.

Buy a used Colibri Tri-Cutta Lighter, detach the three punch side piece with a small screw driver. Discard lighter portion (mine lasted three years before it bit the dust, a long time for a colibri lighter, but the punch itself with its three sizes is still going strong!).
 
Due to the overwhelming praise for the Victorinox punch cutter, and Keystone Raider letting me know he had one in stock on clearance.... I couldn't pass it up. That and he'll ship it to the GWN (Great White North). Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have a nice shiny new set of punches to use.
