How to use a Cigar punch
As part of a recent bomb I received a My Father ashtray still in the wrapper and it came with a small punch.
Have had lots of problems with 10+ year old smokes not doing well with a guillotine cutter, and some have suggested using a punch instead. Any tips, tricks, or general info on how to use a punch? Have never used anything but a guillotine cutter. Thanks, Sean Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

yep
Center the punch the best you can and push on it with a rotating motion. It doesn't take much force to punch through the cap. You will be left with a clean cut and a tiny tobacco "donut hole."

That's how I assumed it was done, but figured it was worth asking to be sure Hopefully it helps with the dry, brittle wrappers I keep getting from smokes over 10+ ywars old Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

a few months in a 70% humidity situation should solve the dry brittle part of that problem... but not everyone wants to wait 3-6 months to smoke a cigar...
