KB24 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I think I saw on here recently the discussion of what we all use to cut our cigars. I've found when using my regular Xikar or any guillotine type cutter I always rip the wrapper. I've been searching for a large gauge punch and wanted to share my purchase. It's an AVO Double Blade Twist Cutter Deluxe. Cost - $100 (Probably overpaid but was in need of some retail therapy and this did the job). It has the regular size punch gauge that twists out on one side and then the larger gauge that twists out when the key ring is removed. Just wanted to share. Have a nice weekend everyone! -Patrick
Rye Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Nice! I use the 11mm Xikar punch and love it for the bigger gauge cigars
Skyfall Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I've never even considered using a punch for a large gauge cigar. This is all curious to me.
Armaniac Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Very nice cutter! The punch is my preferred cut also.
Pedro2486 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Cool punch. I use a xicar 9mm punch for a lot of my smokes and find it works very well even on larger ring gauge
subport Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 You can also punch two holes into large rg cigars and works fine. Just need to know in advance and do not center the first. I barely use guillotine cutters lately. Love the punch all day and night long
Fosgate Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Nice! I'm really liking my creedo Punch for three sizes 3
Pedro2486 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Nice! I'm really liking my creedo Punch for three sizes That's pretty cool bro. What are the sizes?
Fosgate Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 6mm 10mm 14mm http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfeatures/show/id/15629 1
joeskow Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I too use the Xikar 11mm twist punch and it works great much better than a cutter especially with 52 rg cigars. that AVO looks super nice I want one.
dan5974 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I took one of the punches out of the Travel Retail Selection tubes.
artie97 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Been looking for that Avo double blade punch with no luck.if anyone knows of a shop that has 1 in stock,please lmk Thanks
BBS Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 ....I took a spent 9mm pistol round, cleaned it out, and spent some time first wtih a fine file, then a stone, and sharpened the open end up. Works fantastically...... 1
Pedro2486 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Gotta find a .50AE shell for that new Cohiba 2014 LE
