I've never did the v-cut to a cigar, what's the difference? I hardly cut, mostly punch what does it do for a smoke? What other cuts are there any ways?
the Wolf has the same blade as the new Xikar VX V-cutter. the Wolf is also distributed by Xikar and they replace it just like any of their other products. Either cutter is great and I have never used any other kind of cutter that cuts as good as they do, and not just talking about V cuts.
I did a review on the Xikar V cutter on a blog http://www.lasvegashtv.com/index.php/2010/08/review-of-xikars-newest-v-cutter-the-vx-v-cut/ goes into some detail and it has pics of the cutter and a cigar cut by it.

Check the auction sites...I've see the Xikar for a really good price.
A V cut will direct the flow of smoke in a streaming kind of way whereas the straight cut will just allow the smoke to be transferred by how much you draw. Think of it as like one of the sprayers we put on our garden hoses...direct or fine, spray heavy or light, etc.
V Cut
Straight Cut....guillotine
Punch Cut
Dickman Cut...yeah, you read it right. It's a slanted cut at a 45 degree angle
There are others but these are the most popular kind. Experiment with each one and see what you like.
Give Jill a call at SWAM. Im pretty sure they have some. If not, Tobaccos of Hawaii has for sure.
The Xikar does have a larger opening to accommodate larger RG cigars!:smile:

I bought a Wolf a few weeks ago. Tried it for one cut and returned it. The shape simply does not allow a cigar to be inserted far enough into the cutter for the cut to be deep enough to get a decent draw, at least not the cigars that I normally smoke. :dunno: I was going to get a Xikar on the thought that it would work better, but I sort of lost interest and moved on to other toys... :applause:
Just an FYI but the Xikar Vx cutter has a larger opening than the wolf cutter to accommodate up to a 60 rg. Im sure that would allow you to have a deeper cut.

V cut was my favorite for a long while when I first started; had a cheap one that did just fine. I got the Xikar V shortly after it became avail to the public. I LOVE the Xikar hands down and still my go to cut/cutter.
Why not use it on a digger? Hahathe xikar one is pretty damn nice, just please don't use it on a Digger!
just showing the love!
