Got my first keychain cigar punch
I figured what the hell, might as well fully embrace my hobby. Nothing like always having a hobby-related implement on you to do so.
EDIT:
Read my review of the following three keyring punches here:

Smart man, or woman sorry I don't really know you. I'm a huge believer in a keychain punch.

I've usually struggled with the draw from a punch... Keep 'em around 65-68%...
What gives?

I always have a knife on me. I have poked holes to get the job done. Maybe I should make a .223 punch one night.
Good call on always being prepared.

How large of a punch? Generally a dedicated punch is larger than one attached to a lighter, for example.
Some cigars just don't like to be punched and need a larger cut, in my experience. This is one of the reasons why I always do a pre-light draw, sometimes you just need a bigger opening...even with a cutter.

I haven tried my new .223 punch from
@Gunther7912
but tried a diff punch on an H Upmann and made a 'clover' pattern w/ 4 punches before satisfied with the cold draw.

I need to make a .223 punch for my keychain...I'm sure I've got a friend with an empty one laying around. Just out of curiosity, which keychain punch did you get?

Don't loan it out to anyone who has never used a punch before. I used to have a 44 mag punch, then I let a friend use it. He TAPPED it on a a hard surface to try and knock the tobacco out for me. He had no clue he had bent the cutting blade.
