cigcars Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 * I have boo coo guillotine cutters: Zino, Cuban Crafters, Palio, Mean Sardine, ad infinitum. But I'm setting my sites on a more quality V-cutter soon. Right now I just have the freebies given to me by my local tobacconist. When I believe I have a quality, properly packed cigar I use the guillotine. If I have reason to believe that it's gonna be an underfilled airball - I use the V-cutter.
hogg Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Ditto. I've found that pinching the cap off works great on CCs asides from figurados and pyramids. Yup same here. Used to bite but switched to fingernails years ago. I even tried fingernails on a pyramid and am surprised how well it can work with a little patience, but I'll borrow a cutter for them when i canSent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
Gamehawker Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I'd like to know what type of cigar punch that Ken Gargett uses in the cigar reviews with El Presidente. 1
ShortFatHokie Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I used to use a guillotine, but for the last couple of years, I use my pocket knife and gently cut the top cap off. The blade I use is razor sharp cuts like a hot knife through butter. 1
MountainMilG Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I started with guillotine, then picked up a Colibri V cutter that I LOVE. Just added a Cuban Crafters guillotine and it's ok, better than the cheapo ones I've used, but now I need to try a punch to add to the variety. Going forward I plan on using the V cutter on 95% of smokes
RDB Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I use a 9mm punch on anything below 46RG, and a 13mm punch on anything bigger. Avoids any unravelling or unwanted bits in mouth. Only exception is torpedos / pyramids, which get a guillotine straight cut.
MD Puffer Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 V-cut on robustos and other large RG cigars, guillotine on everything else including all pyramides

Otherwise, Colibri V-cut for me all day. Yep. Made by Wolf in Sollingen, Germany. I got it for free and whilst it's pretty much on its last legs, it still works ok. When I finally get a proper cutter, I will get a Xikar. Straight cut as I don't like v cuts.
