Cut Preference

[skynyrd09]

XICAR XI3; double blade most of the time. If the draw is too tight I sometimes will also use the punch to open up the draw.

I've never owned a double blade guillotine. I usually use a punch, unless I am smoking something thin like a lonsdale in which case I will go with a single blade cutter.

 

[zappaFREAK]

Have always used the guillotine. Usually the double. I like the draw with it.

 

[cubancigarman]

I'm quite surprised that more people don't use scissors. Any particular reason why the double guillotine is the preferred method?

 

[NickThePyro]

Without a doubt I prefer a Double Blade Guillotine. It always gives a nice clean cut and never have had a problem with the method. I think I am going to pick up a punch one day for obscure sized cigars.

I have used the punch before and it works pretty well, but I like the diameter control of a double blade.

That said, I'm thinking of getting a pair of scissors and trying them. They just scream "classy".

Double guillotine for me. I have been known to use a pocket knife though. I do punch occasionally but I have been smoking more torpedo's/belicoso's lately.

 

[Wink]

I've been punching everything lately!

Double guillotine and punch. Although I'm starting to appreciate the V cut more and more...:chat:

I perfer the V cut too but sometimes it does effect the draw.

 

[Chubno]

I use a double blade most of the time but I have cigars that the like to use a punch, like on a Java 58.

 

[Zeuceone]

Double blade.

 

[LeoM]

Double blade here

 

[Deadpalate]

Double cut, sometimes I use scissors usually on small ring, I haven't used a punch in a long time

 

[wolfman]

V cut for me

 

[Gunny]

Right now I'm half-n-half between a double blade Colibri and a punch. It all depends on the stick at the time.

 

[La Chupacabra]

46 and under - Punch
48 and over - Palio

 

[EricF]

I tend to use a double during the day as that's what is in my car. I like to use the v when I am at home for some crazy reason. I do have a Palio at home but I seem drawn to the v. I just got a lighter with a punch built-in so I am gonna give it a go this week and see what happens!

I prefer a double blade guillotine. It gives the perfect draw.

Palio. when I forget it I use my cheap Credo scissors that work well. I noticed teeth wasn't an option. Never forget that they are there and can be mastered to get the job done. Last resort of course. I did that at a bar the other night because I forgot my cutter.
