Sad day for my friend Palio

WildBlueSooner · 06-27-2009, 01:14 PM

Hey all,

Last night I found a nice little cigar/wine/spirits bar and decided to check it out. The evening started out great...I smoked several fantastic cigars, and was sharing with strangers who were interested in my smokes. As the night progressed I had many bourbons...too many. When I woke up this morning I went to have a cigar. I grabbed my Ronson and found a worthy stick and went to head out to the porch. Oops, forgot my cutter. I searched around and it was nowhere to be found. Then I remembered it was sitting on the table where I was sitting. I called the place today and no one turned it in.

I loved my Palio and can only hope that he has found a good home, one where he will be used often, and where his gift will be respected. I would truly appreciate it if everyone could send some karma his way. Thank you for your time.

James

Sorrry to hear about your palio...

Skywalker · 06-27-2009, 01:16 PM

That sucks big time!!!

Ask any of us... drinking + herfing = losing sh!t!!!

The Poet · 06-27-2009, 01:16 PM

That's why I drink Scotch - I still forget, but I forget that I forgot.

My sympathy for your loss.

Sorry to hear about the Palio. I've been there unfortunately. Last year I "lost" my 2008 LE leather Prometheus GOF cigar case (only 300 made).

I feel for you!!

Wolfgang · 06-27-2009, 01:27 PM

Sorry James. I hope the swipers cut their finger off.

LasciviousXXX · 06-27-2009, 01:53 PM

Shoot me your addy and I will send you out one of my Palio's

They are the best cutters, hands down.

And thank you for your service

DPD6030 · 06-27-2009, 01:53 PM

'XXX, I lost a full box of Cohibas last night - can you help a brother out?

WildBlueSooner · 06-27-2009, 01:55 PM

Thanks guys, but I have a cheap spare that works pretty well. I will get another Palio at some point, but believe me, my cigars will not go uncut...Andrew, simmer down!

Sure, I can replace them with something almost as good, Cohibos!

The Poet · 06-27-2009, 02:00 PM

Check to the dealer, James.

Your choice bro, but if your smokes happen to get lonely and want a super great cut, shoot me a PM

Don't be stubborn James, do it. XXX is one of the ultimate brothers.

Don't you just really hate that when it happens....for me it either my lighter or my cutter!

hornitosmonster · 06-27-2009, 05:11 PM

That sucks, I hating losing stuff (sober or tipsy)

icehog3 · 06-27-2009, 05:15 PM

Lost my first Palio at a herf in St Louis a few years back, left it in the lounge we were at and it was gone when I went back for it. One of the owners of Palio (Marc) happened to be at the herf, heard about my misfortune, and handed me his out of his pocket. I have a few Palios now, but that one is my treasured cutter.

Sorry you hear you lost one too, James.

floydpink · 06-27-2009, 05:24 PM

I thought I lost my Xikar, but realized I just dumped it to the bottom of my junk drawer since I bought my Palio.
