Who makes the best "punch"?

[BagfullofPings]

Other than the AVO punches, who makes a quality punch. Honestly, Palio should make a punch. I would buy at least two.

Thanks!!

Xikar makes a punch, I imagine they're good (I don't have one).

ST Dupont has a very nice one I think there was a post from Rob @Taboo about a giveaway!

I have used many different punches and cutters, and I really don't think it is worth spending a lot of money. I have some free plastic punches that I got when I bought cigars and they actually work fine.

There is only one Xikar as far as I'm concerned

Just yesterday, I received a beautiful [SIZE=2] Xikar Xi 007 from Mark @ Cigarmony.
Th[/SIZE]is thing is really heavy and solid feeling. Very nice.

Thanks for the info guys. I went to a yuppie B&M yesterday and found a few punches.

AVO - Nice but pricey, attaches to my keys...upwards of $100
ATOLL - Very nice, wrapped with leather, the old version attaches to my keys...$100
ST Dupont - Did not even ask
Xikar - Middle of the road, attaches to my keys, I won't cry if I lose it...around $35.

Hmmm...I think I will go for the Xikar 008. I can put the saved $65 toward another box on the devil site.

Thanks again.

Saw a punch somewhere that had different sized ends. I would love to find one of these for larger ring gauge sticks. Anyone know where to find one?
Found my answer LOL

I got one I bought at madurofan's shop that is rubberized for about $4.95. Works great for me...

This is the one that I have and use.
http://www.pipesandcigars.com/wolfmagcut.html a plastic one with 2 sizes of cutters for $16 and for $30 you can get the same thing in metal.

Here is an example of what it can do with a larger RG, in this case a 52rg



I don't always punch but when I do this is the one I use.

I have that punch as well. Now that I have my new Xikar, the old one is going into my briefcase.

Aside from RG, I don't see enough difference between punches to spend on anything more than the cheapie.
