Well, I got used to using one when I pretty much smoked only DC's that were 52 ring or fatter. I think that a punch does a better job with a large ring cigars.

Since I have a propensity to lose things (like lighters and cigar cutters ) I figure I'm just wasting money buying expensive accessories AND I like to keep a punch cutter and a lighter in each car and in my basement (where I smoke in the house). So instead of buying five DBG's and five fancy lighters, I buy Zippos and 44 Magnum Punch cutters. The 44 Magnum Punch cutters only cost about $15.00 and go on a key ring making it easy to find when I'm driving.

And as I mentioned, I buy cheaper lighters so when I lose them, it's not like I lost a real nice lighter. Of course over the years, guess how many Zippos I've acutally lost:


NONE but I tell ya, the minute I spend $100.00+ on a lighter, I can almost guarantee you I'l lose it.

Well I got off track a little but since I got used to using a punch, I guess it's my preference now even thought I smoke mostly 46 ring cigars now (and once in a while I smoke 42 ring minutos or marevas).
