In a shallow bowl, allow the cucumber slices to soak in the vinegar for about 30 minutes. (This step will improve their texture and add flavor).
Drain the cucumbers and pat them dry with a clean dish towel or paper towel.
Place cream cheese and herbs in a bowl, stir with a rubber spatula until combined
Spread cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread; layer with cucumber and radish slices. Spread remaining slices of bread with herbed butter. Place, butter side facing down on radishes. Trim crusts; cut sandwiches in half.
