cutter size

[makisxkat]

hello to the forum,
do you use just one cutter guys? for the big cigars?
I mean, I have only one and now that I bought some 50-52 ring cigars, I realized that my cutter is small. :sadstare:

I use three different cutter. For a really big guage cigar I use a punch.

 

[makisxkat]

is it good to buy a scissors type cutter? the punch is good for the smoking ?

 

[Trumpetchris]

For large ring cigars like an LGC serie R #6 (60 rg), I'll do 2 or 3 overlapping punches.

I cut everything else with the palio.

I have a variety of cutters. I need to get a swiss army knife cutter again I got one confiscated while I was at Vatican City over Christmas. The SAK can cut some seriously big ring gauge cigars(i've cut up to a 70) and it's sharp as hell. I also have a Palio, occasionally use the punch built into my lighter, plus the generic double guillotine cutters, and would eventually like to try a V cutter maybe.

I have a good pair of scissors. I like them but they are more difficult to use and take practice. I prefer the swiss army knife cutter. Very sharp and excellent cut.

I'm using a Xikar now and it's handling some big ring cigars.

Xikar and Palio both handle up to 52 pretty well

I hope this helps

I use a Palio, I like big cigars, and I have never had a problem.

I use a Palio also for most my cigars, If I don't have it with me I'll just use my pocketknife and ring the cap.

I've got to high of a gag reflex so I can't smoke the really big cigars.

This is my way as well. I try to punch everything bigger than 44 rg.

I've found the Palio doesn't do a very good job with Robustos or a 50+RG for larger cigars I tend to go with the Colibri Hobnail not as solid a cut as the Palio but it does have a huge mouth.
