Legend has it that that's precisely what Churchill did.

I've used a wooden match stick a few times when I was in my truck without a cutter/punch. Whatever works, I'm sure back in his day he didn't have a cutter so why bother now?

A lot of cigars (not torps) I can get a clean opening just picking the cap off with my fingernail. I depends on if it had been cut clean before capping. I have a palio now, but for many years I only cut with my pocket knife, which I keep razor sharp.
