being a noob just a little curious 🤔 do you punch your sticks or cut and why do you prefer that method ? I cut but thats just because I don't own a punch and have never tried a punched stick , thanks in advance for your responces

Depends on the stick for me. A smaller ring gauge I would def. cut, but a bigger stick I may be inclined to punch.

Similar to the orig. post---->V-Cut or Double guillotine???

I don't have a v-cutter, but have heard positive reviews of them, whats the opinion here?

If its not a beli/torp. I usually punch first then test the draw. If its too tight I cut. Cubans tend to do better for me cut as they tend to have a tighter draw (limited experience compared to most here).

Caviat being if its a super strong smoke I'll usually cut first as the punch seems to intensify the taste to me just a bit.

Puch rocks for smokes that tend to be rolled loose and or not super strong.

Just my .02

YMMV

Neither.

I just put them in my mouth backwards and light the cap.

Unless it's a torp or perfecto, punch first and check draw. Cut if draw is too tight. Sometimes with fuller body sticks, I'll start off with a punch, and cut for the final 1/2 to 1/3, as some will buildup tars under the cap. Cutting the cap will remove the buildup tars and clean up the stick.

Big sticks Punch. Smaller ring I V-Cut. I like a little meat on the head of the cigar. Lots of flavor.

I have a V and love it. It opens the head up just enough and most of the cap is still there.

I love the flavor and I don't get a lot of tabac in my mouth.

Hmmm Might have to look into one, thanx FatAsh.

BTW the "Face" was a smoke to remember, very nice, good depth in flavor, nicely constructed, all in all a high quality smoke.

FatAsh sent me a Isla Del Sol sampler. We were chatting about infused stix and he thought I should give'm another try.

And there was a "face" in there as well. Dynamite stick BTW

I am glad you enjoyed. I think the B&M that I go to may have a few more. Last I looked they had a box and a 1/2 left.

The box was about $122
