Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
I just Googled Shuriken Perfect Draw and found it. That isn't even close to what I mentioned. There is no "t" in PerfecDraw, and it's all one word. I took your advice and googled the Shuriken. Please take my advice and Google PerfecDraw. You'll see the huge difference.
If you're going to count my posts, just count the ones where I comment -- replying to your comments doesn't count! LOL! Anyway, yes, I'll try to find the new members section you suggested. Thanks. |
Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
Sorry and thanks for the clarification, I found the site. Google kept trying to force the results to be for "perfect draw". So it's not a cutter, it's basically a drawpoker with a small drill bit at the point. An interesting concept.

Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
Hey Porch Dweller -- thanks for directing me to the new guys area. I started a thread, but I wanted to post some photos. But it asked me for a URL. My photos are on my computer. Is there a way for me to post photos from my computer files?
Thanks. |

Anyway, I'd really like your feedback. take a look at the videos at www.PerfecDraw.com. It just launched, but there's already been a few video reviews. Those links are also on the site. Lemme know your thoughts. Thanks. Rod ________________________ Just so ya know... This is me. Just sayin'... www.KoRWhitening.com www.PerfecDraw.com |
Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
Based on the videos, seems like it could be superior to the draw tool I use now. It has some ridges for cutting, but doesn't seem as intricate as yours, Rod.

Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
I use a V cut over a traditional cut on every standard cigar (non torpedo). I find it to be a much cleaner cut with minimal shredded tobacco ending up in your mouth. Doesn't affect flavor or draw for me. I have a large tabletop cutter with two regular cuts and two v cuts all inline with one blades. Just make sure you have a nice sharp blade, same as any other cutter.

And, early on in the 90's, I'd use a number 8d carpenters nail for my "perfecdraw":tu;) |
Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
Up until a month ago, I've straight cut 95% of the time. When I did vcut, it was with a xikar and it does a decent job of cutting most cigars but the recess is somewhat shallow which sometimes leads to a v cut not deep enough on some cigars. No biggie, but it would require me to cut 2 or 3 times on some cigars to get the depth I want.
I picked up a Colibri v cutter about a month ago and now have been going with a v cut almost exclusively because I love the deep v the cutter gives and I have had great success with getting the right draw with one cut and have not had any wrappers damaged, even if somewhat dry. |
Re: "V" Cut vs. Flat Cut
I started smoking cigars in the 80's. I was always a typical flat cut kind of guy. Everywhere you went, you would be given a regular single blade flat cutter. I did try a bullet punch for a while, but everyone who borrowed it would tap out the cutting and ruin the blade!
Eventually I purchased a Xikar dual blade in the 90's and Marc gave me a Palio at a SoCal herf. Fast forward to today, my son has be gifted my original Xikar, my Palio cutter sits in my pick-up as back up (when I leave behind my V-Cutter) or loaner, and I use & have used for the last year or so a Xikar V-Cutter. Dion G. has a table top V-Cutter on his counter and I use it every time I go to Fumare in Reno....it got me hooked on V-Cuts so I purchased the Xikar V-Cut from him since I could not carry a table top cutter everywhere. YES, I use it on all sizes including Torps/Figurados. edit for the offshoot part of the thread: I do not use a tool other than a trash can for a plugged cigar. |

YOU ****ING JINXED ME!!!!! I thought I got rid of my Shuriken, hadn't seen it for over a year and thought I gave it away. Just opened the bottom drawer of my desk, and what do I see? That $30 piece of useless crap! I blame you for mentioning it :sl |

It is an oxy/acetylene torch tip cleaner hand held mini drill. The bits are not as long, and it does not draw any tobacco out because I have only used it during the smoke, not before. It simply pushes a hole through the tobacco. |
