It's all about personal preference.Quote:

I tried and have no objections to a punch, but don't wish to carry multiple cutters for different vitolas, so it's a Perfect Cutter for me.
I would recommend getting a cheapo plastic one to see if you like it. Then get the Xikar. It works great and you can't beat a lifetime warranty. I got mine on cbid for $34.Quote:

I vote for the V-cut. HAd the Xikar cutter, but lost it in the recent move. Using guillotine for now, but will replace the v-cutter.
I normally use my calibri cutter,but I have a cheapie punch hanging on my key ring.I've had to resort to a box knife and now I keep my backup handy.
I prefer a guillotine cut most of the time. But I am not against a punch cut and if I don't feel like carrying a cutter I will bum my friends v cut. I like to do a double cut with the v cut making an x. The single groove does not do it for me, but two is doable.
I voted for the V-Cut. There are advantages and preferences for all types, but with the v-cut, I never get the tar build up that I sometimes do with the punch. And more importantly, with my Xikar v-cut, I can still make a perfect cut after my third scotch!
I can see where it would work with some perfectos but how do you punch a torpedo?Quote:
