Cutters for big smokes

I have recently acquired some sticks in the 60 ring gauge but can not find a cutter to handle them. I was wondering what you guys used for your bigger smokes???

Re: Cutters for big smokes



hehehe. J/k

Punching several times, like to make an eight works. If you have some tapering you can slice a small piece off. I don't ahve a v-cutter, so I can't say if they work or not.

Ran into this problem when I was on the road once...
I ended up using my punch to make multiple openings in the end (all connected).
It worked, but I think you're looking for a more practical long term solution!

Re: Cutters for big smokes

Palio and XiKar will both handle larger ring gauge. You just need to make sure that you are not trying to cut off to much of the cap is all.

All else fails simply use a sharp pocket knife (or other small knife) - don't try to cut all the way through. Just score a line around the cap and then pop it off.

Re: Cutters for big smokes

I double punch sticks that are too big to fit in my cutter.

Re: Cutters for big smokes

If all else fails perhaps this

Seriously, Palio cutters will work on everything but the obscenely large ring guages

Re: Cutters for big smokes

I used to use a pocket knife or razor blade on all my smokes to cut a "V-cut" into the head.

Re: Cutters for big smokes

Besides my Palio I have a Xikar muli-tool and because its a scissor action it can handle pretty much any ring gauge.
