    Never owned or used a v-cutter. Not even sure how they operate, lol.
    V-cutters do seem to make up about half the cutters I see people using, so I'm considering that too.
    Honestly not sure what the benefit of a v cut is

    Unfortunately the cheapest I have found is $35 plus shipping and its $39 with free shipping on Amazon so its a wash.
    Also looking at the Colibri Cut. Have heard some good things about them as well, and its the same price.

    It gives a different draw IMO. Some ways it seems a little more “open”. Seemingly even more than a straight cut.
    Again, just my $0.02.

    Have owned both the Xikar and the Colibri V cutters. Both great cutters, but I like the Colibri so much more. The Colibri V-Cut is deeper then the Xikar. Just my .02 and that's all it's really worth.

    At Bestcigarprices if you order a 10ct box of Cuesta Ray cigars for around $50 you get a FREE Xicar xl1. Cuesta Ray are made by Fuente. I have never smoked one.

    They do make for a more open draw and some do "angle" the cut in tapered cigars to direct the smoke either upwards or down to aid the mouth taste.
    Had Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter V cutter that worked well for a couple of years until it was dropped and broken, have a couple of cheaper ones, but they don't cut cleanly, so no longer use that type of cutter.

    It figgers that a Youngster like You missed the Cuesta Rays, they were one of the better brands a good long while ago. That would've been when they used the 'clear'Cuban leaf, yeah, long time back.

    Have decided to try a v-cutter, the Xikar VX2, instead as many say it helps give a more open draw, and i prefer a very open draw.
    Not a real problem with 50+ rg Cigars, but fairly common to be too tightly rolled with the 42 and under rg's in my experience.
