Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Like you, I've been using a Zino for ages, still as sharp as it ever was.

A Palio is my other cutter - I'd say they'll take up to about 54-56 ring.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Thanks.

Yeah the Zino is rock solid. I put it in my back pocket and never worry about it. Nice and compact too.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Those are pretty much the reasons I'm still stuck on the Zino. Not that the Palio is bad, it's not, it's a great cutter. But the Zino is more compact, less likely to gum up and it's sharper...

I've cut a few 60s with my Palio. Obviously, you can't get down to the shoulder, but I usually want to restrict the draw a bit on something that big anyway.

Palio

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Thanks for the tip...but unfortunately they are sold out. I will keep my eye on the site for when they come back in stock. The plastic ones I've been using have done the job, but I don't always cut it straight or sometimes cut too much. Time to upgrade.

My Zino cuts a LGC Serie R #6 perfectly . :tu

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

My Palio is my go to cutter, have a couple cheapies that I keep in the car and golf bag.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

For parejos, I use my Palio or Zino to score the wrapper where I want to cut it and then I flip off the cap with my thumb. Works like a charm every time. For figurados, I just clip away.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I like my Xikars.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I have Xikar and Palio but usually use a cheap ass Havana Cutter :)

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Gotta love those Havana cutters. I sure wish that they still made them.:(

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I've got a Cuban Crafter CC-24 Perfecto on Torps and Belli's A punch on others.

I smoke large gauge sticks though so the punch is my primary weapon.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Cuban crafters perfecto cutter.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Palio...

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Palio as well.
But I've used my teeth recently for the first time (especially on a cigar with a pigtail) and it's fun, not one problem either (ie. perfect draw and doesn't unravel or anything). Not something I'll do all the time, or with something like a 1492, but it's fun to do occasionally in my book. :2

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I have 2 Xikar cutters and a Xikar key chain punch but I can't remember the last time I've used them. Been biting my cigars off for the past year.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

how does one open it with his teeth? Ive seen this quite a bit.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Depends on the RG for me, I punch for 50 and up, cut for smaller RG's...

I tend to use a cheapie punch that I received from Taboo ages ago (when they were givin' away stuff with orders).

I carry both a Palio and Xikar X2, and use whichever happens to be handy. I do like and use the Palio if I need to set a stick down, cuz they are designed to keep your stick in place, while doing something else briefly.

I also use some giveaway steel cutters, that Drew Estates used to give away, but they can't be used for a Torpedo, as they only cut about 1/16" off the end. I call these my "beginner's cutters"... :D

:dance:

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

It takes a bit of practice... you want to nibble around the cap, and once it's loose, pull it off with your teeth. :D

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I personally use the cheap ones, just haven't gotten around to buying a good one yet.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Same here, i've been looking at the palio's for a little while now....

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Xikar for the most part, occasionally a swiss army knife cigar scissors. Somehow I always managed to chip the blase on my bullets and I get ragged cuts, or I split the cap.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Palio. A cut above.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Palio :tu

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I've used punches and cutters and v-cutters...have an Avo punch (2 sided lg & sm) that I don't use...have one or two v-cutters I've moved on from...have a Zino Davidoff I don't use...have Xiker's I don't use including the little folding scissors thingy...what I do use is a Palio...best yet by far...:tu

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Palio cutters and Xikar punches!:tu

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

Palio.

Every once in a blue moon I might punch cut a cigar.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I usually use my Xikar, but for some reason I have my Zino in my pocket today.

Even so, I used a cheap V-cutter for todays smoke. Go figure.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I use a .45 cal shell for a punch (sharpened edges), but I also have a xicar xi2 for smaller sizes and torps. I'm thinking of getting the cf palio though, because I love cf and I've heard that they're second to none when it comes to cutters.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

They are definitely second to none....:banger

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

A Xikar Ultra Slim cutter. Small, sharp, and will handle cigars of over 60 ring.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I cut mine. I use a Colibri cutter/torch combo. Cost me about $85. Nice tool, but the cutter is a bit small. It was my first purchase. You live and learn I guess. I'm considering a Xicar set for my next purchase.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

I use a inexpensive retractable punch my girlfriend got me for a suprize @ a B&M when I was in "humidor heaven" as she calls it. It came in a small black box, no name but great punch IMO.

Re: What kind of cutter/punch do you use?
 

:tpd: That's me too Dan!! :tu
