I used to cut everything but when my cheep cutter started tearing up the caps I tried the V cut and am prefering it right now unless the stick is less than 42 gauge.

Talking Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I used to punch all but torpedo cigars. I found that I did not get as much flavor with the punch as I did with the cutter. For Christmas, I was given a xitar cutter and I love it, so now I don't punch any of the cigars I smoke.

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I usually use a regular cut but lately Ive been using a punch I got free from taboo and I really like the results and its harder to mess up

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I like to cut, simply because I like the airway to be as large as possible to avoid any buildup.
Punching is easier to avoid problems with unravelling tho!

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I usually cut unless it is a 52 ring or larger, then I will go with the punch.... Buts you gots to have a good cutter or you will tear dem sticks up....

That is all...

Figurados - I cut'em. Parejos - I use a cutter to score the cap and then flick it off with my thumb.

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I started with punching because it was easier, but found when i cut the same cigar next time it smoked better for me. So now i cut. I use xicar folding scissors.

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
It depends on the cap of the cigar I am smoking. If there is a nice cap, then I can cut it without worrying about unravelling. If the cap is barely there, then I punch so that unraveling is not an issue. I prefer to cut if I can though.

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
It depends on the cigar, for me. I have both types, but I tend to cut most stogies with my Xikar. I like the draw and smoke development of a nice cut instead of a punch in most cases.

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I punch most of mine. Just easier sitting in my mouth for some reason.

Re: Cutting or punching cigars..what do you prefer?
I cut most of the time, but if I can see that the cap is small or poorly applied, I won't risk it unraveling with a cut so I'll punch instead
