Xikar Xi 008 punch
One of our regulars bought one of THESE punches and brought it into the shop. I was REALLY impressed. Not only was it a beautiful punch, but the size of the punch was much larger than a regular punch. Basically for anything above a 40 ring gauge or so it gives you what would be the perfect cut if you used a cutter. I'd say it was about twice the width (or so) of a regular punch. It basically opened a really deep hole about the size of what I like to cut off the cigar anyway. I'd highly recommend it, and I might decide to get myself one for Christmas.
The only thing is that I thought I remembered his being one piece, but all the ones on the site are two pieces. I generally am not a fan of the two-piece punches as it's easy to lose the cutting half. But with it being a screw-top style there's probably less chance of that.
