Pinger_MV Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Which cut do you use on your cigar? I'm currently on a V- cut kick. I use a Colibri v cutter. Seems like I get a better draw. Thoughts my fellow MGS friends!

tommc23 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Dave did a great review on a v cutter last year I do not remember what it was. I use all kinds of cutters from punches to v cutters it depends on my cigar, what I'm doing, and where I am. Tonight I used a v because it is on my ash tray on my porch MGoBlue100, BIG STU and Pinger_MV 3 Quote Link to comment

jaskanski Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Straight cut for me. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it, I guess it's just a case of what you maybe started out with. Having said that, there is some advantage to the straight cutter in terms of verslltily with different types of cigar vitola - some of which would be nigh on impossible with a v-cut or punch.

Headhammer Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Depends on the cigar. Really like the standard cut on small ring gages, V cut on torpedos and large ring gages I tend to use a punch or two.There was an article on different cuts I read last year that gave me a lot of new ideas for cuts.

Patriots68 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 V cut. I've had a no name one for about 15 years now that I bought down in Miami and just upgraded to the Colibri. On torpedos I will usually use a guillotine but sometimes a small v cut. If it's a tough draw you can cross two v cuts. Pinger_MV, tommc23 and MGoBlue100 3 Quote Link to comment
BForrester Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Depends on the cigar. I still prefer a straight cut on a torpedo/figurado and anything under a 50 ring. Edited August 13, 2020 by BForrester Slater and MGoBlue100 2 Quote Link to comment
Slater Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I agree, it depends on the cigar style. I do love the V cut though. MGoBlue100 1 Quote Link to comment
jaskanski Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) My torch lighter has a punch built in which comes in handy from time to time if caught out without a cutter. Edited August 15, 2020 by jaskanski MGoBlue100 1 Quote Link to comment

I always use a punch on a large ring (58+) or a flathead. A golf tee makes for a good makeshift punch cut, in a pinch, when you're caught on the golf course without a proper cutter.

Polly509109 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Vagina cut! Bro. Can’t believe u had to ask! Quote Link to comment
etakmit Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 V-cut almost exclusively. I'll v-cut anything! (usually in a X pattern). I have cutters of all shapes and sizes and this is where I've landed over time. Xikar VX or a VX2 - depending on which I grab first.

Matsubaum Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I like a straight cut on torpedo's and use a punch on everything else. MGoBlue100 1 Quote Link to comment
MGoBlue100 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Almost exclusively V cut, do like a punch but don't have a good punch cutter currently. Usually only go guillotine as a last resort.

DoubleBogeyDad Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I keep both in my kit. I like v-cut on most cigars, but prefer a straight cut on torpedoes and oddball sticks like the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story.

Danny Im Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 The Colibri SV-Cut cutter is a must have. I have two, one for home and one in my golf bag. https://colibri.com/collections/type-cutters/products/sv-cut-1250 Quote Link to comment
