V-cutter?

Lately, I've seen more guys using the v-cutters.
What are your thoughts of the V vs. a guillotine cutter?
And if you use a v-cutter, what's your preferred v-cutter?
Been thinking about one of the xikar v-cutters, but thinking I might stop by the B&M and grab one of those cheaply ones to see if I really like the v-cut.
Opinions?

Mine cuts clean and keeps tobacco out in my mouth.
I tried the colibri v also at a B&M a few years later and was immediately shopping for a colibri v. Got it. Love it. I will acknowledge that I really didn't get enough tries with the Xikar xv to give them a fair comparison.
I will rotate between my colibri v and my xikar xi1 depending on the cigar. Sometimes if it is a smaller ring gauge, I'll lean towards a straight cut, but more often I use the colibri v.
I am interested in the newer Xikar VX2.

The VERTIGO VICTORY V-CUTTER looks nice and might be pretty good for the price.

If the cigar is a perfecto, I just bum a straight cutter from the nearest person.

The original V cutter.
You lift her left leg in the air, place cigar into the "V",.... cut your cigar. Also widely known as the "P" or "C" cutter.
Most people I have watched, use the guillotine incorrectly. Just an observation.
I seldom have loose tobacco in my mouth. It happens, but it is rare, unless its Backwoods.
Use to do nothing but the Churchill cut, but the bullet is now on my keychain. Just more convenient.
I have a cigar knife that has the sharpest edge of all my knives, I mean razor sharp, it will do any cut with very little effort.
How are most people using a guillotine wrong? And, how do I do it correctly?
And what duh heck is a churchill cut? ("Churchill cut" gets me zero results on google.) Is that where you just bite the head off? Or poke a hole in it?
I don't know that it is wrong, but generally not the depth that it was meant for.
You open a guillotine and lay it on the table, you put the cigar in and squeeze. Most people take a bit more off by holding the cigar in the air and applying the guillotine. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I personally prefer a lighter cut, which is why I now use a bullet.
