I wish Palio's didn't Look so Cheap

pnoon · 03-15-2009, 10:37 PM

I think the simple look is just fine. I don't think it looks or feels cheap at all.

I am also tired of this cutter coming off it's tracks. It feels like it's sticking too when I open it. I cleaned it out numerous times.

The manufacturer stands behind them and will fix or replace it free. The owner happens to be a member here.

I find it curious your first two posts here are to rip on Palio. Smells of an agenda to me.....apologies if I am wrong.

I've had mine for about a year now, maybe more. I still love it. I like the look, the feel and the job it does.

I love my Palios I have used them exclusively for over a year and converted many BOTL's as well as run two group buys for them. I like them so much I accidently gave my last on away to a guy I was herfing with that really liked it after he tried it. Lucky for me a great BOTL hooked me up with a new one. I have cut probably 1000 cigars with Palio and never had a single problem or bad cut.

But what the hell do I know I am just a dumbass Canadian

Uuuhhhh . . . . nevermind.

Palio. A cut above.

ok while were talking palios anyone else rest their finger on the cap while they make the cut? Seems I always get strange looks when I do it but I haven't been cut or made a bad cut yet. This is even more fun while driving!

I do that also, beats having the cap fly off in your lap.

Well your wrong about your conspiracy theory

. I don't care for Xikar's either. I just wish their were more than 2 cutters that are very good for under 50$. I just want something different.

Savor the Stick · 03-16-2009, 12:47 AM

I have 2 Palio's. Don't care for them myself. There does seem to be a learning curve to using them correctly. I had a Cuban Crafter perfection cutter and still find myself reaching for that one first.

Palio is a really good cutter a lot of B/SOTL reach for them first.

Like what you use, use what you like.

Just my worth.

Peace

I like my Palio. I think it looks simple, but I like that about it. Beautiful simplicity...why screw it up?

gettysburgfreak · 03-16-2009, 09:10 AM

I love my Palio, never had an issue with it. It will be the only cutter I ever use.

03-18-2009, 12:38 PM

how well it works is far more important than looks,and I dont think its ugly especially the burl

Good grief! What learning curve? It's a CUTTER! Also, I don't know how a cutter gets sticky unless one cuts pixie sticks with it. Mine is a workhorse and never lets me down.

Hes talking about getting a smooth cut with your Palio. Now, put your bifocals back on and go watch judge Judy. Ill bring your your prune juice in a little while

skullnrose · 03-15-2009, 10:49 PM

I'm not concerned with it's looks. You can't buy a better cutter.As far as it sticking I wash mine with Dawn in super hot water seems to do the trick.

I have had mine for almost two years and never had it come off the tracks, so maybe its a defective piece. I would take it back to the store because they will replace it on the spot, no hassle.
