wow, weird, but my aging eyes have me nearly blind, but in the pic, I noticed the pony badge on the Palio and it appears to say BOTL, is this accurate, and is it the same acronym used on the cigar boards?

yup, Palio is owned by BOTL, they also make some tasty smokes called Esencia!

Hmmm. Didn't know that. I knew the BOTL thing, but I'll have to find some of their sticks.

Thanx for the review! I picked up a Palio shortly after getting into cigars and have never been persuaded to try a Xikar.

Yep, BOTL. I too have both and hardly ever use my Xikars. They're heavy and do leave what I call a ridge on the cut. It's a sharp cutter don't get me wrong and a very good cutter too, I just prefer my Palio's in most all situations.
