Palio Cutters

[caudio51]

Pretty cool, I never tried this...know why?

[cjazz]

It is a neat little sales pitch point, but if I used it that way, I'm sure that I'd leave it behind somewhere after I was finished smoking. I'd be sad, and Mark would be very happy because I'd keep ordering new ones from him.

[N2Advnture]

LOL!

They just recently started showing that picture (that appears to be an uncut smoke with ash) but I have been using that little feature for years around the garage. It's sweet!

[Black Dog]

Wow. You learn something every day. I had no idea it was designed for that.

[cvm4]

I've done it a couple of times like that but don't prefer it

Bingo!

It really looks like its not cut, who knows maybe it is :dunno:

[AZsteelman]

Neat, gotta get one now! I know it doesn't work with my Xikar!

I have a Xikar Xi and the palio cuts a LOT better IMO:thumbsup:

[Wasch_24]

I like my Palio and have only used it like that maybe once.

[Mikes]

did it just last night while at a pub drinking a few beers. Gotta love the fact that you dont have to worry bout your cigar falling into a nasty ashtray. Those guys a Palio think of everything!

I've never done that..maybe today

[dmoby]

I always have done that also

[vperlman]

Well, I finally gave in and ordered a Palio from Mark. Can't wait to get it and try it out.:smokingco

It's about time Victor! :headroll:

Thanks again for the support bro!

[caudio51]

Yea, really. You don't know what you've been missing!

[cvm4]

I always use mine! In fact I love it so much I haven't tried any other :scratchhe

[caudio51]

I have a xikar Xi1. It fell behind my dresser a while ago and I have no motivation to move the huge thing to get it. :rofl:

[N2Advnture]

Yea, really. You don't know what you've been missing!

FYI Victor - That's definitely what I meant, not it's about time your ordered from ME :blushlove

No worries, that's how I took it, but it would have been fine, either way. Now I have to think about whether to hop onto the next X-tend group buy (if there is one)...:innocent:

[Claudius]

I finally got around to ordering a (few) Palio(s). I have a Xikar but its moving around a lot and the cut is never straight even though I do it right and quick. Looking forward to this one. Being able to let the cigar rest on it is very practical, especially in restaurants or bars which dont have decent size ashtrays.

I like that feature, like you said very handy and practical.

[vperlman]

Mine just arrived from Mark, and I tried it out this AM on a RP Edge Toro. It cut REALLY nicely!

Glad you dig it bro!

Got the Palio(s) yesterday and cut a few cigars with it: it's the best cutter I have ever used. I gave one to a friend (who's been smoking cigars for ten years) and it's the best cutter he has ever used, too.

The Palio cuts cigars so quick and efforlessly that cutting a cigar has evolved from something you hope to get right to something you actually look forward to doing.

IMO, the reason the Palio cuts so well is that the blades are mounted on "rails". There is no way they can move around (like they can and do in a Xikar) and they're very thin, sharp and hard. The cut is perfect, straight, no fray. Just perfect :thumbsup:

I agree...It's a very good design for a cigar cutter :thumbsup:

[joshua]

Now they just need to bring them out in designer colors. Maybe we can get one with Cigarmony logo on the blade? :rofl:

[caudio51]

Colors would be nice. It wouldn't be hard to change the color either.

[N2Advnture]

best cutter around!

[joshua]

Hey other Palio owners out there, what do you use to clean yours? Mine is starting to pick up junk from using it on every cigar I smoke and was wondering what method of cleaning would work best to get in there.

[cvm4]

Couldn't you just blow it out with compressed air and then wash it under water? :dunno: But then again, I'm not Palio Rep.

[caudio51]

I might be hesitant to use water. Even though its stainless you never know. Air I would definitely use. Maybe alcohol? :dunno:s

[vperlman]

I clean all my cutters, including the Palio, the same way: Q-tip dipped in alcohol. Works really well. I try to remember to do it once every week or two. Try it --- you'll like it.

Its dishwasher safe....no?

mikes

[caudio51]

Mircowave safe??? :rofl:

[joshua]

Does it say that? Should I try and find out. They do have a lifetime warranty don't they?

[N2Advnture]

I am not sure if it's dishwasher safe but I bet you could put them on the top rack and be ok.

BTW - Lifetime warranty does not cover melting :glassesgr

Found this on the Xikar.com site for cleaning and maintenance. I would have to think would be the same for Palio cutters. GL

We recommend that you periodically clean and lubricate the locking / opening mechanism on XI cutters and knives. Simply place a couple of drops of a quality graphite lubricant (such as TUF GLIDE or LOCK EASE) in the mechanism, and operate the unit for deep penetration. Wipe away excess lubricant when finished. The locking mechanism of XI cutters can be accessed through the hole that appears above the release button when the cutter is open.

Blades may be cleaned of debris using rubbing alcohol. We also recommend using a soft chamois cloth to polish the blade steel.

We also recommend periodic tightening of the body screws. This will keep your tool functioning like new.

[caudio51]

Damn, how did I forget that? I've read that before. Alcohol is the ticket.

[N2Advnture]

Yep, that's the best way to clean them. Use a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and good as new.

[Wasch_24]

I need to do this on my Palio and my SAK...they both are developing a sticky film.

There's a zinger!

[AZsteelman]

Yikes, that almost struck home! Hey Todd...developing a sticky film? what the hell are you doing with that thing...oh never mind, we don't want to know!

[Wasch_24]

Yeah, and it is brownish in color too. :scratchhe :rofl:

[AZsteelman]

at least it's not white.....

[caudio51]

you guys worry me sometimes
