finally! a large ring punch!

A while back I made my own large ring gauge punch out of some copper tubing. It worked, but a home cut edge on copper can't hold a candle to a proper German stainless blade.

I just picked up a Wolf (German brand) punch with a blade that's about a 1/2" across. Great for the 50+ rings I like to smoke. I'd post a link or something but can't one online anywhere.

So much easier than a cutter, so much more effective than the usual small punch. I may need to pick up a few more just in case

Xikar has nice punches, both large and small ring. I carry the small ring and love it. Even with larger guage smokes, you get a great draw.
