Cut or punch ?

I use what I have, but 99% it's a cut.

Like the pencil, I've used a golf tee.

But with most cigars, if you just let the cap get wet enough you can peel it off, or slice around it with a knife or something and pop it off.

Who moistens the cigar before they cut (supposed to ensure a better cut)? I do and was just wondering if anybody else does. Oh yeah and I use a double bladed guillotine.

I moisten before I cut usually

I punch usually...if I get a poor pull after the punch then I usually go ahead and cut it. I like the punch because its a little cleaner than a cutter in my opinion

I do want to pick up a v-cutter to see how I like that too

Try everything and make your own mind up.
Myself, i prefer a guillotine (double blade Xikar of course).

Oh and I did use the tyne of a fork when i was young, but never again, oh no.

Typically I cut with a cheap double bladed cutter but I've used anything from a pocket knife to a piece of wire to a key to open the end up in desperate times.
