    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

    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    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 ?

    some people like v-cuts....only to be used on a round...i don't think you get as much flavor with a v-cut or a punch cut....i do use a punch once in a great while...not even sure why..

    People generally use v cutters on larger ring (48 and higher) cigars. I personally don't like a v-cut at all but that's just me.

    As far as cutting a torpedo, you've already received some great advice. I use a punch cutter on my cigars but NOT on a torpedo. For those I use a guillotine and cut it half way down. I rarely ever smoke torpedos.....

    I like Torp's and Beli's most the time. I have a V cutter I use sometimes. It works great for me. What kind of cigar did you smoke?

    how do you cut a torpedo with a v-cutter ? my v-cutter makes a tiny opening. The Topedo I cut wuth it was a 50 gauge. the opening was so small i was only able to get a little flow going. Do some v-cutter cut a bigger opening then others?

    Use a large guillotine (open-ended, not one of those that have a backing and limit how much you can cut off the cigar) and angle it while you cut, so you're cutting on an angle. Try to cut only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the end, no more. The angled cut always gives me a good draw.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
