Different cuts for different sticks

I carry a lighter with a built in punch cutter. Up until Christmas 2019 nearly everything I smoked was punch cut until my wife bought me a table top quad cutter for home. ( she is the best) . Since then I've always used it at home for a straight or v cut. The smallest ring sized ( by my personal standards) is a 50 and I more often am smoking a 52,54,56 or bigger. Especially sitting at home with lots of time to enjoy the "experience ". ( smoking a punch cut 60 right now) I've found enhanced smokabilty and varying flavor profiles with varying cuts on certain sticks from my humidor. It has been a great experience. How about you?!

I regularly smoke box pressed maduros but ( at home especially) that varies.

    @captcl for a while I was using a punch. However I found that I was breaking the cap periodically. When I’m lazy I sometimes over cut/under cut. Recently I’ve been sticking with my V cutter. Thats given me The most consistency. As far as smoking experience, I havent noticed a big difference.

      I absolutely punch cut most of the larger ring sizes i smoke. That would be 54-60. Also my table top cutter works on them with the v. A 50 is as small as go. The v works good on my box pressed sticks. Like i said before my pocket lighter had a built in punch and i like not having to carrier anything extra. Especially if i’m carrying in “permitted “ states ( which are many) gotta have room for the extra magazine ( or 2!🤨) amThanks for your comment and insite Steve!😎
