Whats your favorite cut?

[DrBob]

I almost always use a punch because I find it gives a nice clean cut, keeps tobacco shreds out of your mouth and maintains the integrity of the cap. I think it also helps with a nice even burn, and makes the cigar more nub able if it is worth it.

On occasion the draw is too tight, and I cut again with a guillotine. Also use a guillotine for small ring gauge cigars and torpedo's/pyramids. when i do this i try and keep it to the end of the triple cap, or equivalent.

I have a good number of guillotines with a key chain punch attached to them distributed between house, golf bag, office, and suitcase so as to be boy scout ready for any occasion.

One of the guys I smoke with uses a guillotine and cuts the entire cap off, I am surprised he doesn't unravel as he smokes!

Whats your favorite cut and why?

If I'm at home I really prefer to cut it with a razor and peel just the top off like this picture. Away from home I go with my Cuban Crafters perfecto.

I punch everything I can otherwise I slice them with my pocket knife.

Here of late I have been using my XiKar Xi3. I like my V-Cut as well. I really don't have a preference. It is which ever I grab first I guess. lol

I got my first punch not too long ago and I've been loving it (social club freebie). I have found a great draw and REALLY even burns with the punch.

Anything smaller in RG or tapered gets cut still gets cut.

Oh, this is about clipping a cigar - I thought it was going to be about pipe tobacco

Guillotine for me, just the way God intended it.

As for the pipe tobacco question you didn't ask: flake.

Either a V cut or a perfect cutter. Just feel it gives the perfect cut every time.
