Very nice, I love my Palio.

I bought my Palio in 11/2006 during a group buy at the old CS site. It's the only cutter I have used since then and still cuts as good as the first time. Money well spent IMO.

I didn't realize what I was missing until I got my Palio. While I looked at the Xikar I just couldn't get used to the scissor type action. The Swiss Army cigar knife is my other "go to" tool with three punch sizes.

I recommend supporting RonC at CigarSolutions if your looking for one.

I ordered a burl from cigarmony today. I can't wait to get it. I was going to buy from my B&M but just haven't made the 75 mile trip. I got tired of waiting and pulled the trigger today.

I really like my Xikar cutter and I use a Cuban Crafters as a backup, but after reading all the raves about Palio and then seeing this Escencia Deal I ordered the sampler and cutter from Two Guys Smoke Shop. Not sure if they still have any more these.

The cigars turned out to be great; have not used the cutter yet, but I will get around to it one of these days.

I have the Cuban crafters cutter and the scissors. They are to me better than any Xikar I have ever used!

XTRazzer · 02-12-2010, 10:17 AM

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.

If you're even considering a Palio I recommend you jump on this deal before it expires:
