Cutter, Punch or V-cut ?

[VancouverMark]

I have a punch, regular cutter, and a Cuban Crafters "perfect cutter". The perfect cutter is my favorite by far.

Silly me, I forgot to add...

I regularly use my XiKar cutters (I have two) and they work wonderfully. I very much like XiKar's warranty and how well built their cutters are.

I also have a Palio cutter which was recommended to me by Craig. It does an excellent job on all types of cigars, is very sharp and easy to use, and is not overly expensive.

I keep a cheap cutter stashed in each vehicle, just in case, but those have never seen any use. If I'm out somewhere and don't have one of my regular cutters with me, I generally find out when I go to cut the cigar. In that situation it's faster/easier too grab the Swiss Army Knife out of my pocket than it is to run back to the car/truck to get the one stashed in it.

Xikar for ones that need a guillotine and a bullet cut for cigars that demand that method.

Either my Xikar or a cheapo... never used a punch... sadly.

I use a double guillotine on most cigars but prefer a punch for chisel tips

Punch on a chisel huh? That's about as good advice as telling someone to smoke Gurkha's every day.

The first time someone suggested this to me I though it was a crazy idea but I've done this a few times (use a punch with chisel) and it works fine.
