Cutter and Punch

Never heard that. Just one cut with a V cutter.

I am not a fan of the V or the punch for any cigar. I like to have the most available surface area for the smoke to travel. Plus I have had too many tar build-up issues with the other cuts that I always ended up cutting them with my Palio anyway to get rid of the tar.

My Feelings, Exactly!
