I cut it with double-bladed guillotine cutter and the draw was great. Although I did have to cut a little deeper than I normally would on a torpedo cigar. I got some woodsy and coco flavors from this cigar in addition to the flavors noted above. The final third had good amount of black pepper as well. It was medium to medium-full bodied all the way to the nub without getting harsh. I really enjoyed it! I just smoked the Torpedo version of this cigar.

I also like punch cutters, but my experience at this shop has been they sometimes aren't sharp. And trying a less-than-sharp punch can be particularly tough on a small ring gauge cigar. As to the difficulty of construction, I've heard both smaller and larger ring gauges described as tough to put together. My belief is that a good, experienced torcedor can probably handle any size.

I noticed the Stogie Guys also recommend that option in their tip on cutting. I usually use punch cutters on small ring gauge cigars to help improve the draw.

Sounds interesting. I suppose many small ring gauge stogies have problems with draw due to the packing. Do you find different kinds of cutters help better than others?
