Artistry in Titanium Cigar Punch

There is something to be said about owning the best of something of its class. A special type of enjoyment and pride of ownership. Now admittedly the best is subjective to the Individual but to me there is no doubt that this is the best cigar punch I have had the pleasure of owning.

Tom Anderson is a very skilled machinist who turns out a variety of gadgets. He is well known in the custom knife community. Previously he has released a single cigar tube out of titanium tube stock with machined ends including a tritium tube. Recently he has released this cigar punch.

Tom's Specs are:

Body: Machined from solid ø5/8” 6AL4V titanium

Cap: Machined from solid ø5/8” 6AL4V titanium, 1.00” long

Plunger: Machined from solid ø 1/4” 6AL4V titanium

Seals: Three AS568A-010 Neoprene® O-Rings

Cutter Head: ø1/4” I.D., Stainless Steel

Plunger Screw: Stainless Steel flat Torx® head

Split Ring: Heavy Duty Stainless Steel

Overall Length: 2 5/8” (not counting the split ring)

Weight: 1.6 oz.

What I can say is the overall style, build quality, finish, and function are without flaw. Not to mention that he is always a pleasure to deal with.

This punch has a plunger that stays retracted under spring tension that is operated by the key ring end that cleans it out. It appeals to the gadget lover in me.

I put up a quick youtube video also.


I don't have any connection with Tom other than as an admirer of his work.
