V-Cutter

[ashauler]

I switched to primarily using a v-cutter about a year ago. The first one I had didn't work all that well and then I lost it. Undetered I thought I'd try it one more time. I found one that was reasonably priced that it turned out I'm happy with. It's made by Wolf/Solingen - Germany. It handles up to a 52 ring gauge well. I've actually done a 54 with it but you have to be careful as not to damage the cigar when pressing it into the notch for the blade's path. I've also noticed I get a better draw if I cut the wedge, first in one direction and then the other. O.K., there's my 2 cents worth...just thought I'd throw it out there.

Welcome to the board.

Lately I've just been using my fingernail or a knife. I actually like that better than with the xikar.
