Recommended cutter

[rosajaniszewska]

Hi guys,

I am wondering what everyone's favourite cutter is.  I have heard there are three types of cutters: guillotine, punch-cut and v-cut.  I personally use the guillotine, and I don't think I've ever used anything else.  Do you recommend the punch-cut or v-cut if you use them, and what do you like about the cutter style that you use?

I wouldn’t overthink it, I’ll use my teeth or a golf tee if I don’t have a cutter. They’re kind of an unnecessary luxury.

I typically use a V-cut for most cigars. 

 

Bigger ring gages (70+) needs a straight cut most of the time. As the size of cigar causes over heating and they start to blow up as you smoke them.

 

People into Cubans often punch them. I don't use punches often. 

 

And there is always the trusted pocket knife to score and remove the cap if you have no cutter.
