Cigar Cut Preference (2 Viewers)

[TeamNapoli]

SO what do you prefer

A V cur more concentrated draw with more intensity and heat

​

a Punch\bullet cutter for added concentration and intensity of flavor

​

Striaght cutter : for the coolest and easiest draw

​

​

My choice is the V cut​

 

[surfik]

Depending on cigar format but most often vcut or punch

 

[Lee4711]

I can't say that I've tried a v-cut many times....perhaps I'm missing out. I usually go with the classic straight cut

 

[Jonesey07]

I love a good V cut, but my current cutter doesn't seem to get deep enough so I have to end up cutting it straight to get any sort of draw.

Years ago I only used V cut, but, a good V cutter is hard to come by. A bad V cut really pisses me off. If I'm smoking a Cuban then I usually use a punch, works well with the shape of Cuban cigar heads. Non-Cuban get a guillotine cut.

Two V cuts in separate directions to create a rose cut.

@jr8719 I have never seen that, very interesting ..... definitely will have to try it on my next smoke

I've tried that before, especially when I'm not getting a strong enough draw out of a single V and I don't have another cutter with me.

Really? I rarely have a bad cut with a v cutter. I find it the most consistent cut. I usually use a punch for a very large ring gauge so I don't mess up the cap.

Get a Colibri v cutter. It goes very deep. It's my favorite. The Xikar v cutter is wider, but not as deep.

Definitely the v not V

Fantastic piece, mine's still very sharp, looks/feels/cuts great and the draw is perfect.

Going to try that

Depends on the cigar, but I'm a V cut and straight cut guy - don't often use a punch.

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

Deep V Cut

 

[Hot Nuts]

Oh and if the cigar is triple capped like Cubans, My Father or Don Pepin I normally use a straight cut and cut as close to the end of the cap as I can. Jose Garcia's interpreter gave me that advice. For torpedoes I like a straight cut.

Another one to vouch for the rose cut.

Cut a cross with th V cutter for more draw
(Cut it twice up & down then left to right)

 

[chippitydoodah]

Mostly V Cut
Straight Cut Torpedoes

Yeah, I go for two deep cuts with my Colibri V cutter as I like a much larger smoke output if possible.

For reference from Reddit:

 

[TeamNapoli]

I totally agree with @Hot Nuts . I have used my Colibri v cutter for years and its a great cutter. Mine is a bit used up but cuts just like it did the first time

 

[TeamNapoli]

@Roslindale I love that, may i ask where did you pick one up.

Call me a savage but I just nibble a little wrapper off and go

 

[Silver_Fiend]

A straight cutter is the only thing I have ever used.
