cutters or punch?

[ApexAZ]

Cutter, vcut, punch in that order.

99% of the time I use a regular xikar cutter (sorry Palio!). I worked this out several years ago as I learned my preference for a more open draw. I have a lot more control over the draw with a cutter.

I start with clipping the very tip off and if it's too tight, I trim it off more. I've cut so many cigars it's virtually autonomous at this point.
