    I was thinking about giving that a try, except using various caliber rifle shells like a .223, .30-06, and .45-70, to cover the different RGs being cut. It would give you more to grip, plus more storage space for the scraps. If you feel froggy and want a keychain version that will punch two different diameters, take a .223 or a .30-06 shell and cut off the flange-end about an inch before the shell begins tapering down to the bullet end.

    I find fingernails work fine for most of the cigars that I smoke ... for the rest, I find Palio offers more control than Xikar. (I have Perfect Cutters for the car.)

    I love a punch cutter. Lately I have been using the mistake free cutter.

    That's the cutter I use every day. I used to use a notch cutter but found this double cutter leaves a better end and I don't get as much tobacco in my mouth. I got it off of Amazon. I like that I don't have any mistakes. I just center the stick in the little rear hole and snip and it's a perfect cut every time.

    I plan on getting one other those perfect cutters soon. What a great idea!
    It would also help my buddies who come over and sometimes take a little too much off.
