I stocked up while Marc still had the company. They should last me 3-4 lifetimes.

Since my Palio (an original A&C model) was a gift from Slim, I've taken to carying the Moretti Profile cutter when I fly for fear that I might lose the palio.

I've found them to be quite comparable, not as sturdy, but about the same size, they work the same and the ones I bought have very good / sharp edges. I also have a Xikar Xi8 which is also good and operates on the same principle, but is kind of bulky.

I just wanted to update my review from December. I brought one of the imported Palios to the Saratoga Race Track for a week. We cut about a dozen cigars. Now the two blades are heavily dinged up and jagged.:sl Get a Xikar.:2

Sadly, this is the way forward for me, too.

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

I just won a Palio Cutter with the Kentucky Fire Cured on Cigar Bid for $7 last night. I have used the American ones before but never owned them. My Zikar started to stick. I was going to send it back, but ended up losing it. The palio will probably be a back up.

I ended up getting a Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter Large Ring in stainless steel a few months back. It is solid, heavy and takes just a sliver off the foot.

Never needed to cut a foot of a cigar...Shaggy's and closed foot cigars I usually just light and let it correct themselves.

I assume you mean head though ;)

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

Wow I love my palio's
Think I got mine before their official release. Ie pre-order/Kickstarter

Wow shocking to think they're made in china now. Mine is still holding strong.

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

I talk to Marc Aub frequently. He isn't sad about selling the company.

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

So pretty much what you guys are saying is that "Quality Importers" is a monopoly in the Cigar accessory industry.

What american made companies are left?

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

A few micro breweries hah

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

Tom's hoping Harley-Davidson will start making cutters, of at least 1000 cc.

Re: Palio Cutters Acquired By Other Company
 

1500 or go home! :D
