But the raw plastic, burl, silver and even gold plated platinum may have identical form.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Yes, but their functions are different. My neighbor Ari is a mohel. I gave Ari my gold one to do his business since he was so enamored with it one evening when he was over.

My silver one is for Thursdays.

My burl one is for ... well ... those special moments when I'm driving my Plymouth K-car wagon with authentic genuine fake wood trim.

OK ... I lied.

My neighbor's name is David.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

It was a lot more complex than that, but I won't steal any of the true detectives' thunder. ;)

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I prefer form over function....just meet my wife! BAM! Just kidding...dont tell her I said that!

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Like you say, you win some, you lose some. :r

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

There is never an easy answer.
Of course, this is how the two were originally flagged.
No thunder to steal, Tom.

This was a team effort. The Team of 11 is truly a team.
Although, I had the dubious task of being on the front line and dealing with this juvenile phucktard via PM. Lots of lies and evasive answers. Not a surprise given how this thread evolved. Other members of the Team of 11 found issues and falsehoods in other forums linking these two together. Eventually, he caved in and admitted he was using both accounts.

Buh-bye and good riddance to both.

I have always been curious is there a way to block his IP so he can't just join again.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Way ahead of you, Dustin.

Already done.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Awesome. Thanks for keeping this place the "Haven" that it is :tu

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Nice work! :tu

This is for turd breath -----> :fu

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

For some reason I just picture Pnoon sitting at his computer with Eye of the Tiger playing in the background as he's screaming at his monitor... "I GOT YOU *****, I GOT YOU! YEAH, TAKE THAT!" (dant...... dant dant daaaaaant Rising up...)

Way to kick butt and change avatars!


You're my hero!

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

:r
After all the bull$hit I had to put up, your post definitely made me smile.

Or maybe it was the three martinis. :al

Either way. Thanks for the laugh. :tu

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Let me say there was some great detective work done by some of the Mods here, just too much evidence for the....well, to quote Peter, phucktard....to deny. :tu

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Job well done Peter.

I think I need a drink and might step outside for a smoke.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Thanks, Dave.

I wish I could be sharing that smoke and drink with you. I guess I'll have to wait until August. ;)

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Sounds like a solid plan!:tu

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Peter must be a fisherman or a musician, because he played that tuna like a fiddle. Kept giving him line until he had the hook all the way down his throat!
Great job by our 11 master detectives!:D

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Man, wish I followed this thread. Read the original three or four posts when it first showed up and never looked back but seems it grew some legs.:D
Don't own a Palio but have met happy and unhappy owners. I use a Xikar but lately I find myself using the freebie V-Cutter I got last summer. Still cuts great and the last few months or so I have really been digging the V-Cut. Hmmm, maybe Palio will come out with one of those bad @ss carbon fiber V-Cutters.
OK, OK, I can't lie anymore, I absolutely hate cigars. I just use my cutters to clip my toe nails.:r:D Interesting thread nonetheless.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

speaking of palio anyone ever put theirs in the dishwasher? just wondering if it will take the heat..

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

did you spill spaghetti sauce on it?:D
seriously though, I've only cut 40 or 50 cigars, but do cutters get that dirty that they need to be "washed"?

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

From their site - Your Palio is dishwasher safe too*.

*please note that cleaning to often in the dishwasher may decrease the lifespan of the blades (this also depends on the hardness of the water in your home).

:ss

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Whew!! And I thought I was the only one who'd painted this picture in their head.

I also had this one going for a minute:

Well done, 11!

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I just used my Palio to cut a cigar in half so I could smoke it at work and not look too unproductive (like now). Perfect, clean cut with no crushing. I could not have done it better with any other cutter I have tried.

OK I LIED! I could have done it better with my laser vision.

Wow, I spend 4 or 5 days partying for a national holiday and I miss the first Asylum ban. :bh

Oh well, back to the festivities.:al:al

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

I got my Carbon Fiber Palio yesterday. Cuts pretty damn good.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Damn, you bought into it too. You are nothing but a Palio fan boy :bh

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

But now he can walk on water. :tu :ss

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Man what a crazy thread. To think it was all about learning about a cutter... just crazy. But entertaining to read! The "dramatic look" video cracked me up. :D

Did you ever just open a thread to see the first few posts and get sucked in like I did on this one quite entertaining!! He is one heck of an asshat but I did get some serious chuckles out of the thread. Nice job 11.
Josh

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Good grief! What learning curve? It's a CUTTER! Also, I don't know how a cutter gets sticky unless one cuts pixie sticks with it. Mine is a workhorse and never lets me down.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

oh man that "dramatic look" has me in stiches! I can't stop watching it.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

They get sticky from re-cutting a cigar that's not drawing well, for one.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Hmmm...yes I can see that happening. Good call. However I hope I don't come across that many tough drawing cigars. Sometimes I just deal with it thinking it may be up in the body and hope to smoke past it.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Wow, I can't believe this thread is still open and kicking.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Really?

The b&m thread is still alive too, its a trainwreck of course, but its still alive.

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Moe - you'll have to forgive Matt (stig), when the good lord was handing out looks and brains to our family, Matt was off somewhere banging away on his drums. ;)

If it wasn't Monday I wouldn't ask but I have to.

WTF are you talking about? :hm






























(Remember Kevin it's Monday and I'm a wee bit cranky on Mondays :D)

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

forgiven Peter... I cant blame him for questioning it though :D


Hes talking about getting a smooth cut with your Palio. Now, put your bifocals back on and go watch judge Judy. Ill bring your your prune juice in a little while

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

A learning curve? I can see you must of had an issue with getting up to speed with a Palio as well. :r

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Well, I don't know about you, but I put down cold hard cash at my local community college for a weekend seminar titled, "how to clip your stick and not mangle your thingie". Worth every penny. :tu :dance:

Re: I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap
 

Hey us young guys arent as "old and wise" as you... its not our fault that youre old enough to remember when the first cigar was rolled!

Anyway, isnt it time for your nap??
