I wonder if others think the Palio is still best bang for the buck now that the price has gone up to about $35?

I have a Savoy cutter someone gave me as a gift a year ago. It doesn’t have a heavy, solid feel even though it is all metal. It doesn’t cut any better than the plastic Craftsman Bench cutter I bought years ago for about $12. The Xikar cutters are priced from $35, and that’s for the light, “fiberglass/nylon” cutters (feels like plastic to me). The aluminum body Xikar is nearly $50 bucks. No thanks.

Interesting, I never thought to put my Palio in the dish washer. It is stainless steel though and by golly, that makes sense!!!! But your taking the skill and anal retentiveness out of the cigar gizmo hobby. No, I’ll stick with fancy Que tips, alcohol, rubbing cloth and Scotch. Why the Scotch, well, to drink while cleaning my Palio of course I could drink Scotch while my Palio is in the dish washer but that might look like I’m a lush. Drinking while doing something tricks the wife into thinking I’m busy.

I just purchased a Palio cutter and I love it! If you’re having issues cleaning it the Palio website have a few good tips such as you can put in the dishwasher “yes it’s dishwasher safe”. Good luck ; )

I love my Palio. Although I’m intrigued by the Cuban Crafter cutter. I agree with you Walt on the difficulty cleaning the Palio. Although it’s within my tolerance I suppose as it doesn’t botther me. I’m more concerned about how I’m going to clean my Xikar Eris ligher???? Have to wait until it’s empty of gas I guess.

Ok, back to Palio. I use alcohol dipped Que tips and am amazed at how much brown cigar oil I pick up. Wow, all that from just a cut, go figure.

People seem to ooh and ahh over the cutter but I get more over the lighter. Bah, heathens that probably are just fine with pinching off a hole at the end, errr, ok, I admit, I do that if I don’t have my fine Palio around
