Resurrect and sharpen your punch cutters
targa88 replied to Fosgate's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
i have used a Wilson burring tool for a number of years. Takes a specific angle for the punch cutter as opposed to when working a rifle casing. The other alternative is to use Dremel tool. -
11mm twist punch from Xikar - kind of covers all bases. Only issue is that it doesn't stay sharp after a number of years. Bit of a challenge re-honing it.

Kenfessions: The Corona Gorda Crush!
targa88 replied to Ken Gargett's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Corona Gorda one of my favourites also... unfortunately it is a vitola that seems to be less popular in terms of production -
Notwithstanding the current situation - gym's being closed. Access to "decent" quality equipment for purchase at this juncture is a challenge. Lack of availability along with price gouging. Definitely prefer the home set up. Basically powerlifting. So relatively simple in terms of equipment requirements (rack, bench, barbell and weights). Some folks require the discipline of going to a gym. Maybe motivation along with the "social" aspect. I look at more in terms of travel time + gym membership. Ownership pays for itself fairly quickly (depending on the price of admission of course)
