Which Type of Cutter

[samiam2007]

This may have already been asked before, but how do you choose which cutter to use?

I know of the guillotine, punch and vcutter. How do you choose which cutter to wield?

Palio for me. All the time. Have several options but really never even debate. It just works so good.

Never much luck with a punch as it seems tar builds up more frequent. Guillotine until I got my xikar v cut.... Now nothing but v cut no matter the size. No more too much, no more too little. Perfect everytime.

I'm with @sparky426 . Xikar v-cut every time.

I'm with these guys - the other cutters just sit in my "Cigar Paraphernalia Display Box" while my Xikar V-Cutter remains with my "I use this stuff when I smoke cigars" bag. It is my one and only go-to.

I used a standard guillotine cutter for a long time then I was gifted the xikar scissors which I liked and used a lot. Now after picking up a Cuban Crafters perfect cutter a few months back I have not used anything else. I really like this cutter. I do want to give the v cutter a try one of these days though.

Do it - you won't be disappointed. You might end up ditched your others.

I've been using my montecristo punch for the summer and I love it.

But now you guys have me very interested in v-cutters...

as you very well should be. Try one out - improve your life.

Well, I HAD a Xikar Xi2, 'til I lost it
Am looking at a V-cutter, weighing that against another guillotine

No question - go for a V!

I've posted a fantastic accessory review of it in the past - perhaps I'll post up here as well!

V-cutter for me as well.

The only exception is Sancho Panza Double Maduro - the caps will not withstand v-cutting. They can usually take a very sharp punch, almost always a very sharp guillotine.
