The main advantage of a v cut cutter is that the wedge creates an unobstructed area, making it easy to smoke. It is important to remember that with a v-cut the cap does not get taken off.The disadvantage with a v-cut is that the blades can be difficult to keep sharp.V-Cutters remove a small v-shaped wedge from the top of the cigar, rather than slicing off the cap.

When it does, use a little more pressure, keep turning the cigar to and fro, and you’ll wind up with the entire circular blade embedded in the cigar. Another type of cigar cutter that James J. Fox provides is the punch out cigar cutter, as seen with the S.T. Dupont Maxijet. This bullet punch cigar cutter comes with the ability of being fitted onto a keychain for your convenience.
