Cigar Punches - I want a better one
Ok so the Xikar vs Palio debate has raged on and one and is far from resolution there will always be both sides of the fence but invariably when one asks for a cutter recommendation they get either one of these.
Now cigar punches are less utilized it seems but lately I have found myself using my punch more and more, but here is my regret/issue/consternation over the hole thing (notice the nice use of pun). The one I have is an Xikar 008 and while the design and construction is great I find I have to spend too much time fussing with it to get a good cut, if it was sharper a simple twist and light push would surely do. I have looked online and nothing jumps out at me. Punches are great for short filler smokes and in general I have been finding I prefer a punch or a sharp knife to a cutter. So gents help me out, what is the best punch out there and how do I find it? Or, why doesn't Palio make a punch? |
