Now, if you come out against cake, I will lose my remaining faith in humanity.

Maybe Purobrat or Mikeyfresh ?

I'm going to skip reading the few pages of comments and just say "my Palio is one of the best investments I have ever made (period)"

But Hal, the meat of the thread is more exciting than the typical Xikar/Palio argument. No seriously, it is.

Heck, you can even use your Palio to cut and strip wires, remove staples, open packages, sharpen pencils, and pull splinters, and it still can cut 10,000 more cigars.
(I admit I may have made some of that up.)

It will also void the warranty.
Stick to cutting cigars.

My palio just recently came apart, but a friend informed me that a lot of the earlier generation cutters tend to do that. I haven't had the opportunity yet to take it to a dealer and exchange it, but it's awfully nice to know I can do that - guaranteed by the manufacturer.

Kwagga?

I'm still a newbie here so forgive me if this has been covered before:

Are Palios purchased on the interwebz the same ones that my local B&M carries?

As long as they do what they're supposed to, I really don't care. I guess that's why I love my Blazer PB-207. Btw, I bring my Xtend with me when I go out cuz it looks a little nicer.
