I recently tried a cigar with a v cutter and loved the smoke this cut gave .
whats every body's thoughts on this type of cutter ?.. Before i decide to go out and
purchase one for myself
If you're going to buy one get a good one like the Colibri. If it has a good blade it can be useful if you have a cigar with a poor cap where the standard guillotine might take the whole cap off.
Have been using the Xicar V cutter for a while now and really like it. Gives a good sharp cut every time and I really enjoy the smoke I get using it. I was finding the guillotine wasn't working so well for me sometimes but the v cut works every time, have used a double v cut on a slightly tighter rolled stick and this has worked nicely too.
The second cigar I ever had I bought from a shop to smoke on the street while on holiday and they gave it a V cut (I didn't own any cigars or cutters at the time). I didn't like it but I think purely because they'd cut it too deep or made the cut too large if that makes sense, leaving a gap so when I was taking a draw the air was escaping. I might give a V cut another go......

Hey bud, have you tried a punch cut? And if so, did you find it was better than the punch cut?
Cheers
I must say I have used all, bar a punch cut. I like them all so far. All depends on the cutter quality and of course the quality of the cigar cap and its ring gauge

I prefer using V cutters on my cigars over a guillotine. I don't find I am very accurate with a Guillotine and I end up destroying the cap.
I am going to have a look into this V-cutter as I have currently got a knock off Cohiba branded one. Does the job but want a better one. [MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION] where did you get yours from? I can only see them from US...
