Cut or punch ?

[drew_goring]

Is there anyone that just bites the caps off?

Haha. I've tried that once or twice in a pinch and it never works out as well as I think it will.




I do a combination of punch/cut. I gently rotate my cutter around the cap. Slicing off the cap, but not going all the way through the cigar. The cap pops off in a nice piece leaving the exposed binder, and also leaving some cap on the shoulder to prevent the cigar from unwrapping.
