My Palio walked off a few months ago, so I was borrowing my BIL's scissor cutter. Not a big fan. Sad times indeed. I love me some Amazon and I found this Xikar Wolf Double Punch during an early Christmas shopping event. It fits on my key chain and has a double cutter, which is awesome, 'cause now I have a choice depending on the size of smoke I have. One of the best things is I got it for a total of $15. I also love the fact that punches don't cause my sticks to come unwrapped. And with this thing, it's always where my keys are - with me. Until the Palio resurfaces, if ever, I'm a punch guy!

Anybody else have one?

Been looking for a punch, just for cigars that seem underfilled. That's a great price on that one, Jamie.

That's very cool. I have just been using the punch cutter on my bugatti lighter and it's ok but I would like to have one that makes a bit bigger opening.

I picked up a few punches over the years as I tend to use them more when I am traveling. I keep one of these in my car ($6.99):

And I carry one of these ($12.50):

Punches offer a cleaner cut, but they tend to concentrate tars which can be a problem for some smokes.

Devan gave me a nice one over the Christmas holiday season. They work great on machine made sticks that tend to be rolled loose or underfilled.

Agreed, I really like the punch cut untill about half-way through the smoke. Great finds though guys!

I like the looks of that one Jamie... and it seems like a killer price. I have a couple of Xikar punches and like them a lot!!

I don't care for a punch cutter but you can't go wrong with the company! I have a new Xikar V Cutter and that thing is awesome!

Lately I have been enjoying a punch. The Gadget guy in me would like to see someone come out with a really high quality one.

I think the Xikar 009 Punch is great, I've been using it a lot lately. I'll probably look around for a quality larger punch and a nicer smaller punch. Probably pick up a 007 Xikar punch anyone know of a good punch larger than a 009?

No kidding. As I was scrolling through the thread I came upon it and wondered how somebody got the honor of getting such a big avatar picture. Then I realized what it was all about. :) Filthy spammers.

I saw that. It's about time you finally won! I'm thinking about getting back into those contests. With the hex I've put on you, you'll feel very impulsed to send me any winnings that come your way. :noon
