Preferred cutting method?

[vperlman]

Palio, Xikar, Xikar Multi-tool, and SAK, in that order (descending).

Straight cut. Only time i punch a cigar is when i know it's going to have a loose draw. Most padron anni's i have to punch. As for the V cut. I have done it ONCE just to try it and i hated it. About 95% of the time i just use my palio or xikar and give it a nice straight cut.
