New Toy
 
My Palio walked off a few months ago, so I was borrowing my BIL's scissor cutter. Not a big fan. Sad times indeed. I love me some Amazon and I found this Xikar Wolf Double Punch during an early Christmas shopping event. It fits on my key chain and has a double cutter, which is awesome, 'cause now I have a choice depending on the size of smoke I have. One of the best things is I got it for a total of $15. I also love the fact that punches don't cause my sticks to come unwrapped. And with this thing, it's always where my keys are - with me. Until the Palio resurfaces, if ever, I'm a punch guy!

Anybody else have one?

Been looking for a punch, just for cigars that seem underfilled. That's a great price on that one, Jamie.

That's very cool. I have just been using the punch cutter on my bugatti lighter and it's ok but I would like to have one that makes a bit bigger opening.

I picked up a few punches over the years as I tend to use them more when I am traveling. I keep one of these in my car ($6.99):

And I carry one of these ($12.50):

Punches offer a cleaner cut, but they tend to concentrate tars which can be a problem for some smokes.

Devan gave me a nice one over the Christmas holiday season. They work great on machine made sticks that tend to be rolled loose or underfilled.

Agreed, I really like the punch cut untill about half-way through the smoke. Great finds though guys!

I don't care for a punch cutter but you can't go wrong with the company! I have a new Xikar V Cutter and that thing is awesome!

Lately I have been enjoying a punch. The Gadget guy in me would like to see someone come out with a really high quality one.

I think the Xikar 009 Punch is great, I've been using it a lot lately. I'll probably look around for a quality larger punch and a nicer smaller punch. Probably pick up a 007 Xikar punch anyone know of a good punch larger than a 009?

No kidding. As I was scrolling through the thread I came upon it and wondered how somebody got the honor of getting such a big avatar picture. Then I realized what it was all about. :) Filthy spammers.
