    i cut lanceros and torpedos, and use my punch for everything else. Im not sure if there is actually a reason, but ive never had a good draw when ive punched a lancero.

    What? And risk ruining these pearly yellows?

    I think I'll go that route going forward. Just thought with the ring gauge that a punch would work perfect.

    I punch pretty much everything. My punch is a lil too big for Lanceros so I cut those.

    I smoke my fair share of lancers. The cutter is by far the best. Sometimes i "V" cut it, and that works perfect too. I "V"cut pretty much everything unless its a fatty!

    It just depends. I've punched Lanceros and it worked great, I've also cut with a guillotine to no avail. Lanceros can be tricky due to the small RG, much less room for error when they're rolled.

    That's what I have been told by couple cigar makers. I had a opportunity to smoke with both Joerge and Jose Orlando Padron. Senior Padron told me the same. He told me a well constructed cigar should allow us to cut a cigar with teeth. I don't know, for some reason I do not like to do it.

    When I was in high school I did it all the time and got good at it. Just moisten and nibble at the end. But, I was also smoking Garcia y Vegas, so I'll go ahead and cut my Padron's and leave this in the back of my head for when I'm really drunk.
