I found that its easier to draw when you dont cut too deep in, but not too close to the tip eiter. Depending the size, i usualy cut about halfway.

wow that was fast.
So when you mean - half way - you are refering to 1/2 way on the "prymand". right?
I used a v-cutter- it made to small of an opening. It was hard to draw. then i used a guillotine cutter and cut off the whole pryamand - guess i cut off too much

thanksfor the advice. I will try that the next time.

I try to cut torp's to about the same size as a cigarette tip. I've never used a V-cut before though, just a double guillotine.

I am not a big fan of the V-cut, especially on Torpedos....

I would start off at about 1/4 inch and cut off more if you need it..... you can always cut more if needed but ya can't put more back on if ya cut off too much

good stuff . thanks for the info. I bought the v-cutter on a whim. I was ordering some cigar and needed them overnighted. since I was paying the overnight shipping charge, I figured the cutter would not have costed me that much more- since shipping was $20.
so what type of cigar would people use a v-cutter on ?
