tmc123 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 So i've come to the realisation of late i've been nearly using a punch everyday for the last couple of months and wanting to get a decent one. I've got half a dozen cutters from xikars to palios but for whatever reason I just end up reaching for the punch unless the draw is a bit tight. At the moment i'm just using a cheap lighter punch combo that was thrown in for free from my nc days but want to get something decent that will last a while as I the lighter on this isn't great so it's kind of just an oversized punch for me So, whats your favourite punch?
Puros Y Vino Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Big fan of the Credo 3 in 1 Punch. I'd recommend the one that comes with the keychain. 2
Phillys Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Love my Xikar 9mm punch, looking to get the 7mm. I have had it for about three years and it is still very sharp. Plus it has a key chain. I am also curious about other types of punches.

JohnS Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Big fan of the Credo 3 in 1 Punch. I'd recommend the one that comes with the keychain. I recently got the Credo 3 in 1 punch too. I love it as it punches thin, standard and large ring gauge cigars.
BBS Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I've got both the Xikar 9mm and the same Victorinox shown above. Both are the bomb. I rather like the Xikar better as a punch, but the razor sharp scissors and knife on the Victorinox tool have come in handy many times. I keep both in an old cigar box by my smoking station.....
sactochris Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 This is the exact one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Havana-Retractable-Green-Cigar-Punch/dp/B0009I1EJ4/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1454433657&sr=8-14&keywords=cigar+punch I have this one also. I love it because dark green is my favorite color and companies rarely make anything in that shade. Even Jetline no longer makes the dark green torch lighter that I love so much. 1
Akela3rd Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I've got a Cohiba lighter / punch which is sooo tactile. Triple butane flames and a fold out 7mm (I guess) punch that is quiet deep and provides a good draw. It's chunky, black, smooth & curvy. Stock photo as I don't have it with me at the mo.
Warren Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I used to use a punch cutter but found that it often limited the flavor. I don't know if it was just me or has anyone else noticed this.
LutzSpearo Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I like my Xikar, about three years and still sharp.
sactochris Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I used to use a punch cutter but found that it often limited the flavor. I don't know if it was just me or has anyone else noticed this. i only use a punch on a 42 or smaller ring gauge.
