I love my 11mm Xikar punch. It is very sharp and have never had cap issues. I have a cheap key one that i reserve for emergencies. Works pretty well. The smaller punches seem to lead to tar build up. However, I do tend to use it more on smaller ring gauges and boxed presses (clover cut on those). I am Punching right now with some sweet tea and they go well together. Hehe.....
