Punch cutter question

icehog3 · 10-15-2012, 02:10 AM

I use a Palio cutter 95% of the time or more...when I do prefer a punch is when I have a larger ring gauge cigar that is slightly underfilled....a couple of the recent Ramon Allones EL/REs come to mind. Tend to smoke cooler/slower for me when I punch them rather than cut them.

I'm thinking a punch might be good in some of those incidents. I might pick up a cheap one to try I appreciate the feed back.

Now where did you ever get an idea like that?
