Havana Retractable Cigar Punches

[aich75013]

What Michael said is correct. You twist it one way to make the blade extract; the other way to make the blade retract.
The pieces do not separate if that is what you are asking. It is one piece.

The 009 is a little different (besides being a larger diameter.) You pull it to make the blade extract. You push the pieces together to make the blade retract. The punch stays as one piece the whole time.

Hmmmmm

Which to look into getting...the 007 or 009??

009 IMHO. I've punched anything from 37 RG Lanceros to 54 RG Sublimes with it.

I would venture a guess the 007 is too small for anything larger than 46 RG , just a guess....even though I think I still have a brand new 007 somewhere.

I've punched lots of 52 and 54 RG cigars with the 007, Bill.

You can always punch the cigar twice with the smaller punch, just make the punches slightly offset from center and overlap them. Like a slightly squashed "8"

Yeah I've done that a few times. I just figured if the 009 does 37-54 why bother with a smaller punch. I suppose it might be preference, but I haven't heard much about that ever.

The video makes it look like a cool design, it doesn't have some of the flaws of others.

Recently played with a 009, didnt actually cut with it, but given the design that is where i would be spending my money if looking for a punch
