That wasn't what I was meaning! I was just having a look at my two cutters, neither of which would take a 60 - so I thought that's why a punch was used?

Can do you should be able to cut it with a standard cutter bit of a squeeze and just able to clip some off on mine. Seen quite a few people punch tiny holes in them thought that was what you were all on about. Not many large punches on the market either though.

That's why I use a punch too, I don't have a cutter that takes large RG. Also I like the neat hold a punch gives. It's never caused me any issues and certainly never had any tarring issues but my punch is maybe bigger than other. Looks like about 8-10mm maybe. I think these are good cigars and my preference is to cut a smaller hole, I like a bit of resistance.

What about multiple smaller punch holes..... Or am I just being stupid?

Not at all Marc, I have heard of that before. When I smoked that massive 80 gauge monster I did a double V cut in a cross. It worked but I think multiple punches would have been better.

I only have one punch (attached to a lighter) and it seems to work just fine for the Nubs.

Yup that looks about the same as mine, maybe a tad smaller but by no means too small. Did you enjoy it? I haven't had that sun grown and didn't know it existed.

I did. I've only smoked 3 Nubs so far (none of the Maduros yet) and they were all pleasant, which is why I decided to go for the Nub sampler box. I like the bigger RG sticks, but don't always have enough time to spare for them, so the Nubs work perfectly.

If you enjoy it chaps knock yourself out but when you had a proper rolled sticks you are going to be sucking like a 2 bob H*****

Can't eat fillet steak every day rascal.

Can't eat fillet steak every day rascal.

not you cant but also not good to eat cardboard and tell your self it's steak

Nothing wrong with Nubs I just cant stand windtunnels of cigars where there not rolled proper and thats starting to get more common than plugged cigars

[tommy]

I'd have to agree rascal, windy tubes aren't a good thing and to be honest I've cut down my smoking and buying quality for the smokes I do have. The nubs I've had seem well constructed but personally a 60rg hole just fills my mouth with tobacco. I haven't had one for a while but when I do I punch it. Interestingly if I have a sig 6 I cut it with a guillotine cutter so what you say probably is true. The thing is that I love a good steak but I also like ham, egg and chips bro. I even drink primo brandy with my chips. Course the chips are homemade and kick ass.....

Bro? Did you just call Rascal bro? shocked.jpeg

I'm certainly not telling myself it's fillet steak. I said the Nubs were pleasant, fillet steak smokes would be awesome/great/excellent etc. Am I happy to have a pleasant meal/smoke occasionally? Absolutely. Does every smoke need to be a fillet steak one? Nah, not for me. I'm still new to this so I view it all as a learning curve and I'm enjoying defining my own points of reference. I may get bored of that one day and only decide to smoke top cigars, but I'm not there yet.
