But, by and large, I'm a cut kinda guy.

Sums it up exactly for me!

Started with a punch, now cut almost everything. A friend of mine usually smokes cigars in his garage, where his favorite cutter is located. Yeah, he uses a coping saw, no joke, a coping saw!!

I went through a punch phase where I'd punch my cigars in a figure 8 (i.e. two punches). Once I learned out to properly cut a cigar I stopped punching and strictly cut using my Xikar. I have a punch on the end of my Prometheus that I usually offer to friends but don't use myself anymore.

I haven't punched since the last time when the concentration about made me sick. I guillotine or rarely v-notch.
