If it's your only cutter, than Palio is the one. I have been using a Xikar V cutter on smaller RG cigars and it works really well.

ID like to get a cheap v cutter to try them out. I just hate paying shipping on a 3 dollar cutter ya know? All my B&Ms around here suck BAD, very expensive and their sticks are gross looking.

X8 is nice for the money and cuts a larger RG.

I voted Palio as you do not have many options on the poll.

IMO though I punch everything...period. I only cut belicosos/Pirámides or anything else with that goofy pointed cap. For the price I like the Xikar scissors though.

MTX + 009 would be about the same price as a Palio. I say go with that.

It's interesting... I have both a Palio and a Xikar and both cut well -- in fact both cut much better than the average cutter and are well worth the extra money.

However, I end up using my Xikar much more because it fits in my hand better and I don't have to screw around with getting my fat stubby fingers in the holes... (I know, I know -- don't go there!).

So, I vote Xikar...
