@oleggorky906

I have to agree to disagree. I use a v cutter but after the first cut I turn the cigar 180 degrees and put in a second cut, always cutting just above the cap. This allows me to access more of the deep flavour, without it burning too hot as might happen after a punch cut. Admittedly, I use a straight cut when smoking a torpedo, otherwise if you have to cut too much away then you are negating the shape and might as well smoke a Churchill or something with a flat surface.

I like a whole bunch of cuts never thought of disliking my v-cutter actually since getting it I've used it more than my straight cutter. I think for me personally I feel like I get more intense flavors with a v-cut and I think just the opposite for pyramides it actually enhances the flavors for me with less draw problems then a straight cut. I honestly vcut everything from minutos all the way up to double coronas. But to each is own! I enjoyed your opinion.

Cut from both sides with a v cut if you're struggling with the draw to create an X shape.
@oleggorky906
2 жыл бұрын
Yes! I also prefer the rose cut/double cut/X cut or whatever else people may want to call it. It brings all the flavour out nicely, without smoking too hot as would usually be the case with a punch cut/bullet cut. The straight cut on the other hand seems to smoke just a little too slow and tight for me if it's one of the thicker gauges. Edit: Oh yes, I forgot about the pyramids. With those I just cut about a quarter of an inch off, straight cut. Otherwise if you cut too much off you just negate the shape and end up smoking, effectively, a Churchill or something so I suppose it does depend on what I am smoking but I do tend to v cut mostly, rarely buying the pyramids.

Totally agree with you in that the V-cut is my least favourite cut, but for different reasons! I just can't stand the sharp edges against my lips when I draw, it doesn't feel comfortable to me at all. Doesn't matter what size or shape the stick is I can't get on with it. The worst by far is a pyramides though, just feels awful in the mouth with a V-cut. But good vid as always mate keep them coming.

it is ideal for toro and tapered shapes, just cut twice. Once you use the v cut, and you dont get messed up tight rolls, that v shape tapers the smoke to a concentrated and specific area in the mouth and I think it is great. Also, you wont have any issue with over cutting or unraveling.

I was anti V-Cut then someone bought me one as a gift. I tried it and never looked back. The fact is that a V-Cut can dramatically improve the draw of a cigar. Often triple flat capped Cubans can be tightly packed at the cap. The V-Cut takes just enough volume of tobacco out. Deploy it on a petit corona or smaller ring gauge cigar with a tight draw and it often corrects a tight draw straight away. This is truth.

On a torpedo, I enjoy using a straight cut. I start off small and test the draw, then cut again accordingly. A torpedo crown allows the smoker to choose exactly the draw they desire. Not with a v-cut. I completely agree with you. Favourite cigar currently the La Perla Habana in torpedo.

The v cut is simply the safer option for that is such popular. With a s cutter or a scissor one if we push the cigar to deeper we cut too much a destroy a cigar. The v cutter has the guard, we can’t damage a cigar with a v cutter or a puncher, so for that so many people started with that and never change.

Only use v-cutter for torps, belis, and pyramidios. And I cut parallel to the shallow angle on the crown. This makes a cut that's shaped like a saxophone or clarinet mouthpiece with steep sides. Lots of surface area for draw, almost twice what you get from a straight cutter. But that's only for the aforementioned shapes. Here's the caveat, I don't care for those shapes, so I never buy them if there's another option. There are a couple sticks that really shine in those formats. I love Plasencia's Alma del Fuerte Generacion V, a salomon, which falls into the previous category as it has a pointy crown. If the salomon has a round or flat crown, straight cutter. Funny thing about the Alma del Fuerte, I have tried the other vitolas and would rate them 87 or so, but the Generacion V is a 95! Not very common to experience such a difference within the same label. For a detailed description on how I change the light bulbs in my house just ask🤔

Although my main preference is the straight cut, lately I have been using a punch cut lately. The punch cut makes a clean cut, whereas a straight cut may cause the cap to crack especially if the stick is on the dry side which I prefer. For that reason, I dry box before smoking. It makes for a better burn and taste.

I don't really understand your issues with the v cut. If you have a good blade on a v cutter like you do, you can get a nice clean cut and then you just take a draw enhancer for any really thin metal pic and put it in through the v cut about a quarter to 1/2 in into the cigar and you can move it in and out a little bit until you get the right draw / air flow for your liking. I have not come across a single cigar style/size where that did not work perfectly. I don't have anything against straight cut or any other method, just saying v cut is perfectly fine if you fine-tune it a little bit using a draw enhancer.

Agreed, got my colibri v cutter, used it for a month and left it on the shelf, it doesn't really enhance the draw to a tangible extent, i.e. a tight cigar would still need a draw tool, the v-cut alone would not render a tight cigar comfortable. Plus the foot gets soggy and susceptible to collapse after a while (I hold cigars with my teeth, not lips, maybe that's why), plus you'd have to reserve enough space on the cap for the v cut to not cut through it risking unravelling the wrapper, with a straight cut I could just cut deeper and compensate for the virtually non-existent draw advantage of a v cut. AND, cigars are to an extent ritualistic, having a wet dick-like stick in one's mouth is simply unappealing(try it on a tapered piramides and you'll see what i mean), To each its own.
