I have tried it as I too have heard others talk about using it on torps. I honestly prefer to use my Xikar on the torps over the V-Cutter. With torps it just does not seem to clip enough to get a decent draw. The few times I did do it I just ended up re-cutting it with the Xikar just so I could get a better draw as without doing so it was like sucking a golf ball through a straw. Lately, I just seem to like the V-Cutter on every other vitola other than torps and belis simply because I feel like I am getting a cleaner cut without risking the integrity of the cap and still able to get the same amount of smoke volume as I would with a Xikar or Palio. Who knows, for all I know I may be singing a different tune in two weeks from now.
