Xikar or Palio?

[Volt]

I would say, what we think makes no difference to you and how you cut cigars. Visit a B&M, they usually have at least 1 of each out to use. Cut a few sticks and see what whrks best for you.

Now as to an "opinion"..... I have owned and used both. I find the Xikar heavy, wabbly in my hands (causing bad cuts) and pinch myself with them. The Palio is by far a better cutter for me. Currently I am using a Xikar until I can replace my lost Palio
