Punch, guilloine, V cut or other

[El Whedo]

I punch anything big enough, and cut anything small... so I didn't vote, like David.

So take the poll and let us know which type you prefer.

I'll start.

Since I got my Xikar V-cut years ago that's about the only cutter I use anymore. Makes a nice cat's eye cut which I can test out the draw of the cigar. If it needs a bit more draw then I'll cut the opposite way to make a cut that looks like a +.

The great thing I like about the v-cut is I don't have to worry about cutting a shallow cap and having it unravel on me and it works for perfectos too.

same here. Hell I'll even use it on a torpedo sometimes. If its a large enough gauge I will sometimes do the x-cut. Since I have been using the v-cut I almost never have unraveling issues anymore

I generally punch a cigar,then test the draw. If it's still too tight, I'll break out the guillotine cutter. Would love to try a v cut sometime. Hard to justify $40 on something I may not like…

I like a V-cut but I haven't grabbed for anything but the CC perfect cutter since it was gifted to me. Just had no reason to.

I have yet to find anything better than my CC Perfect Cutter guillotine.

I tried a friend's V-cutter and don't care for the way it feels in my mouth.

I tried and have no objections to a punch, but don't wish to carry multiple cutters for different vitolas, so it's a Perfect Cutter for me.

I would recommend getting a cheapo plastic one to see if you like it. Then get the Xikar. It works great and you can't beat a lifetime warranty. I got mine on cbid for $34.

It's a Guillotine or V for me depending on the cigar, and mood.

While we're on the subject, are any of the cheap v-cutters even worth buying. I'd really like to try one before I drop the coin on a Xikar. What's the consensus?

Yes. I bought a cheapie for about $8 and that's what made the decision to get the xikar. Still have the cheap one and use it when I'm off and away.

I punch almost everything. I have never tried the V cut.
