What cutter and/or method?

I use the guillotine on most of my cigars. I own a V-Cutter and a couple punch cutters, but find I usually grab one of my guillotine cutters.
I like the guillotine most because I can adjust the depth of my cut much easier. Sometimes you have to take just a "bit" more off to get that perfect draw and I find the guillotine works really well for this.
I also must admit, I enjoy the ritual of inspecting the cap and where it ends, lining the guillotine just so and the quick snip (sound and feel).
I also prefer the feel a good guillotine in my hand whether it be my Xikar, Palio or any well made cutter.
