Punch Cutter Vs Guillotine Cutter

I understand the quote, but I cannot tell if you are giving me a compliment for using the search function, or being satiral and giving me a good insult.

I can't tell either, it's the internet.

...and the answer is YES!

Punch for robusto, cut for everything else

[JiveTurkey]

I prefer to punch over cut. Less messy. And less chance of an assault charge.

So, we have a general consensus?

Most cases Punch Cutter > Guillotine?

Post a poll, then you will know for sure.

I prefer the guillotine because I have found the punch and V-cuts to create a bit of a tar buildup over time that can cause some smokes to go slightly bitter in the last third. Make sure you splurge on a sharp cutter. A dull blade can crush the cap and/or cause you to spit out shards of tobacco every time you puff on the cigar. You can clearly see that the blade is well honed and polished on my carbon fiber Xikar.
