Cigar clipping... Your weapon of Choice

[shavingcyclist]

What is your preferred method? I've tried many (V-clip, Double-Guillotin, Single-Blade and Punch) and I honestly can't decide what I like the most! I think I am edging towards a punch... V-clipper is kind of cool too.

I've got a few double guillotine, a v-cut, and some punches. Double guillotine is what I use most. Followed by the punch. I don't do a single punch hole though. I do a three leaf clover shape.

I like a bullet cutter ... is that the same as a punch?
But if I am lacking that tool,
a sharp pocket knife gives a nice V-cut.

Interesting, I've never done it like that, but I will try it sometime.

Bullet-shaped cutter would be a punch.

I use a double blade, or sometime do a criss cross pattern with the v-cutter.

Also interesting, I've never thought of using it like that I will try that on my next one.

I’m usually a V or a double guillotine.

I prefer using a pocket knife to remove the cup portion off the end leaving the inside filler.

Agreed. Best cutter I have used. Their customer service and warranty is awesome!

Xikar double blade.

Cuban Crafter Perfect Cigar Cutter. It was a game changer for my cigar cutting.

I may need to send mine in to them. I like the cutter but it seems to have started not making quite as clean of cuts recently. I'll test it again and if confirmed I'll message them. Guess thats what the lifetime warrenty is for

I used the Xikar double guillotine almost exclusively for years. It is an excellent instrument, and their customer service is hard to beat. That said, on the increasingly rare occasion that I do light up a cigar, I've begun using a sharp pocket knife to make a notch cut in the cap.

Xikar Xi1, Xi2, and VX... so, double guillotines and v-clippers.

Edge goes to Double Guillotines, because I also use them to cut my rope tobacco.

I also use double guillotine cutters. I have 2, one I purchased in Italy way back 2000 when I was stationed there and a second from a Spain deployment in 2011 when I started smoking cigars again.

I'm a fan of the Xikar cutters. They work well and when they dull I just send it back. I also have a punch cutter on my keychain. I'm currently looking for a good cat's eye (v-cutter).

Those are some great locations to be deployed! I'm assuming near Vicenza? Was there recently .
