No bits and pieces. Remember that the punch only outlined a hole; I was digging out the tobacco that was attached to the binding long-leaf below. Whatever I didn't dig out was bound.

I don't possess a V-cutter and only from pictures taken at the side-not the top after the cutter has done its work-do I have some idea of what it does; thus I am unable to even hazard a guess.

From what I can tell the V-cutter scores a shallow v-shaped cut across the top of the cigar. The smoker then makes another cut at a 90º angle to the first cut. True?
