I like the punch cutters the best. I have tried double guillotine and scissors. both seem to pinch. Never tried the single blade or notch cutter. Thsnks
ps the RYJ Reserve Maduro from JR was good.

I prefer the punch, but I am becoming more skilled with the cutters...so right now it's a toss up.

I own a punch cutter, double guillotine and a V cutter, and all three come in handy, depending on the type of cigar I am going to smoke.

I have never used a punch cutter but would like to look into it. Usually I'll stick with a guillotine.

I agree. As a DBL Guillotine I use my Xikar, and I'm impressed with it

I really like to use my punch cutter...but some cigars you have to use a DBG cutter. I don't have a v cutter or scissors, so I can't comment on those, but a single blade guillotine SUCKS! I have a couple that I keep around in case of emergencies, because I sometimes misplace the others, but if you are going to use a guillotine, it should to be a double blade in my opinion.

I have one nice DBG and a few punch cutters and they keep me happy.
