I've seen the Montecristo Samurai in person and was unimpressed with the build quality. While it looks nice in the pictures it's basically two pieces of formed sheet metal of approximately 1/16" thickness.

I also own the Cuban Crafters Perfect Cut and it's nice for me to lend guys that don't smoke a lot of cigars. It's also great for when you're in a hurry in the dark. While I like this cutter and it's price, the Palio is just a smoother cutter.

I measured my Palio open and it's roughly 25/32" diameter. That would translate to cutting a 50 ring gauge all the way through. For some reason I think it might be able to cut through a 52 ring gauge.
