When something is new and lots of people use it for a relative short period of time and then revert back to what they used before, I call that a fad. People used teeth for a while, then they probably used knifes. Now the majority of people that I see use guillotines or scissors. My 99 cent cutter chops the cap off and I can smoke just fine. My teeth dont come together so I can't use them.
The Razor scooter is also a fad. They will probably sell thousands of those soon.
Good info about the types of cuts Slim. Damn Im bored. I wish I was not at work.

Back in the late 50's we lived next to a old timer from
Cuba. I grew up in Fla. I can remember him showing my dad how to cut a torpedo and it was a "V" cut. You lose very little of the cigar but open enough surface area for the perfect draw.

I cut to about 2/3 of the overall diameter. That works
well from my experience-Magnafide

if you have 400 to 500 cigars, should you really worry about losing a bit of the end, which you never smoke to anyway, unless you want to burn your lips.

I love the V-Cut GYO ... it's my favorite way to cut a cigar. I use my surgical steel teakwood V-cuttter on about 90% of my cigars ... and have for quite awhile now.
