Cigar Punch Cutter - Several Questions:

shilala · 05-04-2011, 12:29 PM

I've had lots of punches, including ones on my lighters. I can say that any of them worked just fine. Some would get the wad stuck in them and had to wait for the next cigar to get it pushed out, I don't like that so much, but it didn't harm how well they worked.
Some were great big clunkity, heavy things that I thought was nonsensical for such a simple tool. Some were a bit big for real small rg cigars, Albert already mentioned that.
Based on the non-existant difference I found between cheap ones and inexpensive ones, I'd suggest you just find one that turns you on and go with that. I really don't think you can miss.
Good Luck!!!

Lots of good information so far.

My thinking is that I want something with a large punch, to use on the larger ring cigars. I'll probably just use a Palio Cutter on most cigars up to 46/48 ring gauge, but I really don't care to full cut the larger ring gauges 50 on up to 54, which is the largest I care to smoke, at least not to start with, unless there is a problem with the draw.

Then the 009 is a great tool to own. I just got mine and it is perfect for bigger cigars. Used it on a PSD4 and it cut over half the cap out. When I get home I'll snap some pics.

The cigar is a 5x50 robusto

Awsmith4,

Thanks for the pics., that looks just about right. I'll probably pick one up. I guess eBay is the cheapest way to go but I'm not sure!
