cigar punch question

Hi guys
NEW cigar smoker here loving the experimentation! So far, I'm finding that I love the 5" x 50 gauge size the best. Seems like a great relaxing 60+minute smoke to me.
So far, I feel more comfortable using a PUNCH as opposed to a cutter, tho. So, here's the question, do punches come in various sizes? I think I'd like my punch even better if it created a bigger hole.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. This is the place to learn all the cigar knowledge you don't have access to on your own.
Here's one punch with three different sizes

Boy, they're not VERY proud of their punch cutter, are they?? A good box of cigars can cost less than what they want for one.... LOL

Yup, no chance of me buying one of those.
Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

If you go to the eBay site for that 3-way punch and read the description they've posted, it give a reference for which mm size to use for which ring guage. The site is useful, if for no other reason...
Then perhaps the Xikar 11mm punch ought to be just about right for a 50 gauge cigar. Perhaps??
Close enough for government work, I'd say.....
What's your preferred make/model of a "deep cut" cat's eye type cutter?
Any recommendations for a V-cutter? I wanna be more like Shizz.
Any recommendations for punch size 007, 009, 011, or other for someone who smokes mostly 50 rg? I want to buy Xikar most likely. Unless someone knows about some other hotness.
