[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Glad to hear you’ll try it. Hope you like it.

[@JazzenDominicana1]

Thanks for the video. Have shared with my friends. My preference, on large ring gauge cigar sizes, has always been a straight cut; and I agree with David , as I use the punch and V-cut depending on cigar size.

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Great. Thank you for sharing.

[@lmcsheffery]

Great video! I tend to use a punch only on cigars that I know have a loose draw. I definitely need to get one of those v cutters!

[@terryclima]

Very good and informative video! I have to try the the cross V cut on my next Encore! I personally prefer a straight cut for your cigars, because of there gauge and to fully taste the flavors!

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Thank you so much for commmeting. Please let us know how it goes.

[@terryclima]

@@EPCarrilloCigars Trying the V cut on the Encore, and it really opens the cigar and flavors in a different way! Thank you for the advice!

Another great informative video. Hope you continue to do these. Hoping to find some Pledge cigars in Chicagoland real soon!

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Thanks. They will be there soon.

[@SmoothFavs]

Great info! Wondering the best way to cut a torpedo shaped cigar. Any videos on that?

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

A torpedo needs to be examined a bit more carefully than a regular vitola. Look at your Torpedo and find the midpoint between the tip or very pointed end at the head of the cigar and the part where the slope of the Torpedo joins the body of the rest of the cigar. Once you find these then figure out the midpoint between them. The midpoint is where you will cut to be safe and not damage the cigar by cutting to deep. I would personally use a straight cut but I’ve seen it done with a v cut.

[@ricardomarquez5365]

[@harism2001]

101% true. I exactly cut mine like he did. Good choices. Nice video.

[@BartoSins]

Watching this while smoking a Carrillo Dusk, V-Cut btw... ❤️🔥

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

So great to hear!

[@shawnreimer1017]

I prefer the v-cut or the punch cutter because it gives you not only a smoother draw from the cigar when leisurely with a good whiskey on the rocks but a more enjoyable cigar smoking whereas you have no leaves debris onto the mouth where the classic straight cutters does. That’s just my opinion but good smoking my BOTL SOTL and cheers!! May the best person win the humidor and light em up like a Boss!!

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

For the first one with no question yes a V-cut or punch cut give off less tobacco debris than a traditional straight cut. A solution to that is tap the cut costs far head down against a clean ashtray to tap out the debris. Of course a V-Cut or Punch are not free of debris they just give off less.

[@kennethherrick8695]

V cut is my favorite for many cigars. Straight cut on small diameter cigars or a punch.

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Great. Thank you for watching.

I’ve always used a knife, in fact I have a knife only for cutting my cigars with I keep it very sharp always. There is an art to using a knife to cut a cigar it’s not a fast thing and I like that I take my time and do it right its a skill, it’s part of the joy of smoking a cigar as will as using cedar spills to light my cigars it’s all an enjoyable experience/process that takes time and to enjoy the cigar that 200 hands have worked to make for my enjoyment.

[@oliverlampe9313]

I mostly go for the straight cut, even with torpedoes - but those I always cut with an angle, I think dickman cut is the right term?

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

As far as a Dickman cut yes that is a classic way to cut a torpedo and correct term. The true Dickman cut is at a 45 degree angle but today many cut at whatever angle they like. The purpose is to better direct the smoke up to your palate or down to your tongue. Thanks for commenting.

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

A torpedo needs to be examined a bit more carefully than a regular vitola. Look at your Torpedo and find the midpoint between the tip or very pointed end at the head of the cigar and the part where the slope of the Torpedo joins the body of the rest of the cigar.

I'm going to use that sideways cut with the v-cutter on a box press for sure. That's a nice hack. I also like a v-cutter for a chisel. But I would liked to have seen some examples of more exotic shapes like torpedos, pyramidos, and figurados.

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Awesome let us know how it goes. Thank you for the recommendation. We will keep that in mind.

I like the crown cut - 2 criss-cross v cuts.

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Nice. That’s a unique cut.

[@larenedavis8127]

I am a novice / female and someone once told me to do a cross cut. What does that look like. Also is there a cigar geared more for the female population 🤔

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Cross cut is using a v cutter and then turning cigar and cutting again. Our expert favorite cut is a straight cut. I’m a woman - the one in the video - and think women should try all cigars and see which they prefer. Let us know how the straight cut works for you.

[@carolinafiremedic9754]

I am a huge fan of the “cross cut” v-cut for any round cigar. Box pressed cigars seem to draw best with the “sideways” v-cut. Honestly though, I haven’t found a bad way to cut or smoke an E.P. Carrillo.

[@EPCarrilloCigars]

Wow. Thank you. We really appreciate that.
