I was just wondering wat is better..a cut or a punch?

Depends on preference; I like a double-bladed cutter personally. I heard tar can build up with a punch, but I've never used one, so I'm not sure if that's true or not

Same here, I've never used anything else but a Double G. However, I would try a punch cutter if given a chance.

I have been using a punch lately. One advantage is I havent had a cigar unravel when punching and I smoke Gurkhas!

I carry both, a punch on my lighter and a Xikar multitool. If I punch and the draw is too tight, then I'll cut and loosen it up.

great point about the draw being too tight..never really thought about it like that. Thanks!

I use both. Only had the tar buildup from a punch with Edge lites...... go figure. I switched to a double cutter on them and no more problem. So I guess its all what you feel works for you.

About the only time I don't use a punch is if I am cutting a torpedo. I have the alrge-gauge punch from Xikar though, its great. On alot of coronas, the punch is almost the same diameter as the head of the cigar, lol.

I got a chance to see one at the Michigan/Ohio herf - the large ring gauge punch is ENORMOUS, lol. It's on my list of accessories to get.

It's BORKs not BOTLs

There is no blender but Litto Gomez, and I wish I was his merchant.

I like a good cut but due to just ease of use I almost always punch since it is built right into my lighter. Tho I am super pumped about the new Man O War Virtue release deal in May so when I order a box of those I will have a sweet double bladed cutter made of pure awesome and a kick a.s.s. lighter!

I tried to get in touch with my feminine side and still got turned down...

I keep a cheap punch on my keychain, and funny how I always end up using it. 95% of the time I do prefer the punch (unless its a torpedo). I find that when I punch, I end up with less small bits of tobacco in my mouth.

BTW, I've never have had a problem with tar build up.

I've never used a punch, I always cut mine. One time at my B&M, I used a wedge cut they had there just to try it. It was OK, but I like the straight across cut better.

My wife and I are going to Myrtle Beach, SC Thursday to see the world's three greatest granddaughters. While we're there, we'll hit the Blarney Stone cigar bar at Broadway Beach. The last time I was there, they offered to either punch or cut the cigar I bought and I had them cut it. This time, I'll have them punch one just to give it a try.
