Well I've been using this since I started smoking a few months ago. After my somewhat recent thread on Palio vs. Xikar I think it's time to finally pick up a Palio.
I jumped on that $40 for $20 StogieBoys Groupon, and had a $10 credit so essentially I get $40 for $10. Conveniently, the Palio's are $40. Sooo... ![]() ![]() Or this for $50 ![]() I'm a very indecisive person. |

I was gifted a C.C. cutter and it works great.
I was given a Palio for Xmas and it is just awesome. FYI, you can find these much cheaper on Cbid, the buy now is $30 and you can get them sometimes for half that price at auction. I would use that $40 on something else and try to bid on one. Although I believe your color choices are limited on the auction route. ![]()

I stopped looking on Cbid because I don't buy many cigars, so I end up having to pay like $6 shipping on everything which comes out to average price on fivers, if not more. I've seen them pop up on Cigar Sprint Sale but it has been a while. For a good price, I wouldn't be picky on color. As far as the CC, it works well, but I don't like not having the capable to gauge my own size or cut off a larger portion for whatever reason. |

If you have to ask which color, you do not deserve the best (black) Palio.

![]() I'll probably get it from StogieBoys. With Cbid shipping it'll come to probably $30-$35, which is nearly the same as CI with free shipping, as opposed to $15 total from StogieBoys. $5 shipping plus $10 cost of voucher. |

They all cut awesome so you can't go wrong other than personal ascetics. However, I had a silver one previously, which I lost, and replaced it w/a black one. I've noticed that the black one doesn't show stains as much as the silver one

Mine in silver and I have to say it looks better in person than I thought!
I am fond of the carbon though! I would have bought black if I had a choice, to keep it simple, but silver has exceeded my expectations! (Thanks Taki)

The carbon fiber rubs off. I'm with Doc, fake carbon fiber is fake cool. Go with the black one.
![]() That said, I've gotten rid of all mine. My hands don't work so good and they're awkward for me. I pinch the web of my thumb with them and bleed on stuff. I have gobs of Xikars, they work great and I have yet to make myself bleed with it. Either are great stuff, it just boils down to what you like. I like this Xi3, it's my favorite ever and I even had the Mammoth Bone cutter... ![]()

I can't attest to the Palio's but I have a couple Xi3's and they work great. I am going to get a Palio as well as I have only heard great things about them! Go with what you like and you can't go wrong

I am in love with my Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter, and have never used a Palio before, so maybe that's why I am biased, but I would say BLACK coz I am cool
