"V" Cutter vs regular straight cut

[vzontini]

I also use the Xikar VX cutter quite a bit, though not on torpedos. I use the Palio on those. The VX cuts effortlessly. It is a great tool.

I'm an accessory junkie so I currently have the Xikar VX V-cutter, Xikar MX scissors, Xikar 007 punch, the Palio guillotine cutter, Drew Estate Bulletproof cutter, and more. I ordered Room 101 Limited 213 custom Xikar cutter with the skull motif but sent it back because the handles were poorly attached. Looking at the Xikar 3D Mayan as an alternative.

For general carry I usually go to the Xikar MX scissors because they fold up compactly and are functional for just about any cigar. But at home I use what works best with a particular cigar. I've found different tools work for different cigars or at least that is what I tell myself. LOL.
