Cutters/punches etc

[Budgie Smuggler]

Does the V cutter work well on the smaller gauge cigars like 40/42 or are they aimed at th bigger gauge?

They work fine, you just need to push the cap up against the side to stop it cutting fully through the cap.

I've used it on cigars as small as a demi taste and as big as a mag 56 without any issues.

I use a Xikar Xi2 predominantly, ive got a nice Adorini lighter that I always carry with me that has 2 punches built in so I can always use that in a pinch if I end up with an impromptu smoke.

Never tried a V cut, does anyone prefer these over a guillotine?

don't fancy biting an end off a cigar. Knowing me I'd be chewing tobacco for weeks

Can anyone recommend the below cutter?

I'm considering buying a decent quality one and these seem to be in a mid price range and look nice in my opinion.

I've got a different (older) version of the colibri cutter as well as a Colour V cutter both are very good and hard wearing

I had one of these and it just wasn't sharp enough and tore the wrapper unless you closed it with a snap

[smokey joe]

a good old fashioned bite, i have to try that..

I tend to use a Xkiar x2 cutter, i used to have a really cheap one, then decided to buy a good quality one as a bday present to my self, i see why they are more expensive...they are nice and Sharpe and don't really go blunt, my cheapo one was ripping the tobacco...I have a punch and tend to use this on larger rg cigars, but not all the time.. just as and when i feel too.

Tony Soprano always bit the end off his cigar.

What do you find are the sharpest cutters? I want one that will cut neatly without having to snap it closed.

I'd recommend a Xikar, I've had mine around 5 years and it still cuts great every time.

I'm with Alex on the Xikars but I may have had a poor Colibri, their V cutter is superb.

I've been using mine since April and can't fault it ..Was glad to make the jump from a cheapy one...It only cost me ?24 I think from Amazon

I've opted for a Xikar. Not one of the expensive ones but should be good enough for me.

It's the only decent cutter I've ever had, like you I was using the cheap (free) ones before. I was a little hesitant to recommend it when I've not owned or tried many to compare but mines worked faultlessly for a fair amount of time.

I'm tempted to try a V cut though.

I also seen cigar scissors, I'm really not sure about those though, anyone any experience with them?

I have a pair and have used them on small ring guages, not sure if I trust them for a big cigar. They could be quite useful for an emergency circumcision though
