Hummmmmmm.....
Used to always use a punch. It was a screw out kind and I had it on my key ring. It'd always screw itself out and it got pretty banged up. Since I started smoking again I've been using a vector double guillotine. V-cut is nice on occasion. Would like to get another key ring punch, but this time I'd get a pull-apart.
Also I love the novelty of double punch cutting a lfd chisel.

Yep, anything not torpedo shaped - I V cut them all unless there is a specific reason not to do so.Audi_kraut said:
Didn't plan to, have used guillotine cutters, or cigar scissors for decades. Have used punch, they seem to get dull too quickly.
Tried the V cutter, liked it - never looked back.

Will have to look for a V cutter. Anything folks recommend.
I typically punch anything with a flat head and guillotine cut anything with a pointy head. For a while, I was doing the Jorge Padron method and biting the end off.

I got a Xicar V-cutter on one of my CI orders for cheap. I used a cheap freebie for quite a while and it worked fine, too. They don't seem to get dull as fast as a normal cutter and don't end up crushing the cigar.
I do two cuts with a v-cutter to make an X. Not sure if it's any better or worse, but it works for me.

I am using a xikar. It's sharp, quick and easy.obmike said:
Bought it on auction, they don't usually go cheap. Seems to be a good demand.

Lately I've been using my Xikar V-Cutter more often...and did an X cut last night on a Kill Bill II.
I seem to be using a straight cutter less and less and been going with the larger diameter punch (9mm - 11mm) or V-cut...except with the torpedoes obviously.
But then again, I'm streaky like that.

If smoking in a B&M i like using the V Cut with the big handle on their countertop. Otherwise or if its a torpedo its a guillotine for me.

Havana Cutter!...slowly I crept...step by step....
Agreed!, they were the best single blade cutter I ever saw....cut better than most double blade cutters too. I lost my last two at the QSH. Anthony, next time you see LOS, check his pockets.
