Cut Preference

[caudio51]

Ahhhh the old honey dew list

Definitely send it in when you can

Prefer V Cut (because that is what my grandfather's old german cutter produces) but I'll use whatever is handy: punch, single blade, double blade, scissors or my old standby pen knife; unfortunately this is less of a standby since I keep cleaning out my pockets and breifcase before I fly <g>. I am interested in getting a CF Palio tho'.

Fredneck ... so how long you been shootin' there pardner?

Haha....I think I need to stop using my Colt, the neighbors keep complaining.

Double blade only. Single blades mutilate and punched gars get bitter when nubbed. Never tried the scissors.

about a month ago at a shop in Milwaukee i bought a "cheapie" V-cutter for $1.99. its plastic, but the blade was super sharp and i thought "what the hell, its 2 bucks. it works perfectly for smaller ring gauges. (perfect for a Sig II)

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

Thanks for the info.

 

[caudio51]

I still have not used a v-cutter. This needs to go on top of the list of "things to do"

 

[cvm4]

Same here...

I think a double blade guillotine cut, cuts cleaner, produces less/no tobacco bits and the ability for a good draw. Seems to me punches and V cuts would impede draws as they don't produce as much area on the open end of the cigar as the double blade guillotine cut IMHO.

[goin' fer smoke]

Anyone ever use a cigar piercer? How do these work or do they concentrate the smoke too much?

For most cigars I use a punch, some a double blade.

 

[caudio51]

No, got a pic??

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Most of the time I use my Xikar Wolf V Cutter, otherwise it's a Double Blade Guillotine (Xikar, of course!)

This reverse v-cut ensures that your cigar will not tear and this cutter accomodates a larger ring size. It is made with a German steel blade. It can be had for under $10.00.

Palio baby. Palio!!

 

[Soundwave13]

Palio baby. Palio!!

I've been loving mine lately - seems it's all I use anymore.

Apparently back in the day I voted scissors, which is odd because I have never used scissors in my life. I always use a double bladed Palio.
