Cut or Punch - Page 3

Sr Mike · 02-14-2010, 12:24 PM

I think with the unbanded cigar I would have to use a knife or a punch, I don't have a cutter that could cover that cap.

Blimey its as big as a cucumber... what make is it?

alley00p · 02-14-2010, 01:57 PM

Depends on the RG, I punch larger sticks, and use a Palio for smaller RG sticks...

It is a Thompson special, not sure about what the blend is, supposedly long filler (I can only imagine how many plants it would take to make this).

My first thought on seeing that was "Punch or cut, hell! Try a bandsaw!!"

A friend of mine told me he was gifted something like that over twenty years ago. He said he finally had to light it with his propane torch.

I was gifted something like that 52 years ago, but I would NEVER put a torch to it!

Holy crap! I didn't see the pic of you holding it before!! I would never even attempt to smoke it! I'd buy 3 more and make a table with them!

Chris.....

Sr Mike · 02-14-2010, 09:44 PM

I would smoke it, but not sure if I can find 10 hours to dedicate to it.

I always cut and the last year or so I have been really favoring the V-Cut. I really wish Palio would come out with a bad@ss V-Cutter.

govicgo · 02-15-2010, 10:59 AM

I am really liking the v cutter lately having tried both the punch and blade cutter in the past....

ucla695 · 02-15-2010, 11:48 AM

Palio!

02-15-2010, 01:54 PM

Whenever it's at hand, I use my 'v' cutter. Have yet to have a bad cut with it.

Mr. Ed · 02-15-2010, 03:00 PM

Xikar, cut

02-15-2010, 03:52 PM

I punch everything that is a normal head, cutter for beli's, torps, perfecto, figurado's etc

02-15-2010, 06:22 PM

Xikar....it was a gift from a brother, and it works. Some day, I want to own a Palio so I can compare.

in my experience, the smaller the opening is in proportion to the rg of the cigar, the greater the likehood of building tar. i enjoy a punch but tend to only use one on 48rg or less. but this rule does not always apply. when i smoke T110s i use my smallest punch as the draw is just too loose otherwise. in truth, i open almost everything except torps, belis and perfectos with my thumbnail.

I got some Bugatti torch with two punches built in so its just convenient
