"V" Cutter vs regular straight cut
 

A local bruddah uh de leef has me hooked on the "V" cuts. Usually, if I'm smoking a torpedo, I'll cut it first then apply the V cut. It seems to me it improves the overall pleasure of the smoke. Anyone else use these?

I just picked up a Xikar VX cutter on Friday....It sure is 'easier' to use than a guillotine cutter - meaning that its much harder to mess up your stick by taking too much off.
As far as how I like it I can't really say yet. The cigar I was smoking had some construction issues; so I'll reserve judgment for a while. My friend however said that he liked the way that he was able to rest the stick on his tongue more; and there definitely seems to be less (or none) loose tobacco after the cut.

I've had the VX for a while, it makes an effortless cut, it's my go-to cutter for just about everything I smoke

At one time, I went through a phase where I used V-cutters a lot, but now, I only use them occasionally, mostly on larger RG cigars to control the draw.

Before using a punch that I do now when I can I used a cutter that had a metal plate on backside preventing me from cutting to deep and just took a lil off cap sometimes depending on the roll you needed to make 2 or 3 cuts especially on torpedoes but I really enjoy it as a noob cutter. Never used a v cut I don't think, or cigar scissors.

Punctuation is your friend. ;)

Love the V-cut.... use it almost exclusively on my cigars

I'm a fan of the V-cut. I go back to it a lot after straight cuts- I find it is cleaner and leaves fewer shreds of tobacco after cutting.

Im all about the pocket knife. Peel the cap and enjoy your smoke.

2x. Now that I've had it for a week or so; I have to say that its much harder to screw up your cut....

Love the V cut, but don't have a home version. One of the reasons I love smoking at a B&M.

i have been using the punch that came with my lighter for non torpedos and I'm really enjoying that v.s a cut.

Re: "V" Cutter vs regular straight cut
 

I'm looking forward to picking up one of the Xikar V cutters after reading through this thread. Hell, I was looking forward to picking one up anyway.

Been using the V cut on the Torpedos and sounded strange to me at first until you try it and forget it after you do that is the only way to smoke a torpedo. I used a boston cutter as most dont cut a deep enough cut. I have used the Wolf but like you have done needs to be cut first

I tried a V cut on the top of torps a few time with a box cutter. I love the results!

Got a 5-er of LFD Chisel and straight cut the first 2 and hated the draw. I tried a V-cut on the other 3 and :dr

I use the V-Cut most of the time, but it's not because I love the cut, its because I love the cutter! Now the Xikar VX but before that was using the Wolf V-Cutter which uses the same blade. Best cutters as far as I'm concerned.

I think V-cutters are pretty cool I use my palio a lot because v-cutters don't do well with smaller RG I'm not a fan of carrying around a V-cutter and Palio just to cut a cigar depending on size.
