Palio Cigar Cutter News

[caudio51]

Thanks to the DogWatch Social Club podcast:

It will now be coming in two new finishes. A carbon fiber and a wood grain. Can't wait to see them. Now I have to get a few new cutters for every occasion!

:blob::blob::blob:

[joshua]

Just listened to the podcast on the way home. Had been waiting to hear the new announcement. I actually posted a while back that I wish they would put out different colors. Carbon fiber though... thats a totally new material.

Still would like to see red or blue plastic.... Or even white.

[djs134]

Now, the question I have is.... when will Mark have them and ... will there be a GB?

[cvm4]

Wow, wood grain! Very nice!

[N2Advnture]

I saw then during a dinner with Jack and Marc and they are BEAUTIFUL!

They are in production now and it shouldn't be too long now

~M

[cvm4]

Man I already have 2 Palios! I think I might need another! :scratchhe

[caudio51]

I think I am going to have to go with the carbon fiber

[vperlman]

I saw then during a dinner with Jack and Marc and they are BEAUTIFUL!...~M
Hey Mark, when they say "wood grain," do the mean real wood, or plastic that looks like wood? Ditto re: carbon fiber --- the real deal, or just the look?

[Wasch_24]

Pretty cool...I don't know if it warrants another purchase for me though.

[avid toker]

Nice, carbon fiber cutter to match my carbon fiber cigar case!
When's the GB?

[rpb67]

Oh Boy !!

Mark, I will be calling when these are in stock !

[Mikes]

I saw them a few months ago over at Jacks palce. All I can say is that they look outfrigging standing. Also changed (at least in the pre production model) was the little horse logo on the cutter. Now these are made by placing a little medal insert in that space. I hear many other options are in the works as well.

Long live Palio!

I'll probably have to pickup a carbon fiber, not like I need it tho...

What is this the double post thread???

Shane, you have the griffin case? Who's got a good price on them?

[vperlman]

OK, Mark (or anyone), any pix and/or pricing info available yet for the 2 new finishes? Enquiring minds want to know... :yes:

[caudio51]

It's only been a week!

[vperlman]

It's only been a week!
Patience was never my strong suit... :devil: Can you say, "instant gratification"? :clap:

[caudio51]

Oh I hear ya, can't wait to get my carbon fiber!

[Wasch_24]

I see...you get promoted and they open up the internet for you?

:rofl:

[caudio51]

:rofl:

Just friends with the IT guys

[avid toker]

Got the Griffin case in a group buy years ago. Paid $50
Best price I found was here http://www.pipesandcigars.com/grcafi3fica.html

[joshua]

I wonder if they just announced it at RTDA or they were actually showing them off. If they actually had them there, why hasn't anyone taken any pictures? I wanna see these bad boys!

[Eric]

Sounds cool, can't wait to see them. Although I love my Palio and is the ONLY cutter on the market that I recommend, I'd like to rather see them focus their effort on penetrating the market. I'm not sure if Xikar and the like have contractual competition clauses with most shops or not but I'd like to see them on more shelves!

[N2Advnture]

They did have them at the RTDA and they looked sweeeet (can't show you the pics, sorry)

...I'd like to rather see them focus their effort on penetrating the market...

I agree.

I think they did very well at the RTDA, so it shouldn't be too long.

~M

[tobby4]

I have a woodgrain Xikar, so I guess i could use a Palio carbon Fiber

[N2Advnture]

I have a woodgrain Xikar, so I guess i could use a Palio carbon Fiber

They have a woodgrain coming along with the carbon fiber - both REALLY do look great!

[caudio51]

Thanks Shane, that is a good price at that vendor.

I agree, Xikar has the market locked down pretty good but Palio is a cut above :grin:

[caudio51]

Was just thinking I can't wait for these to come out. Any update on the time frame?

[N2Advnture]

Late Sept

[caudio51]

Nice! Only 6 weeks out

[N2Advnture]

Nice! Only 6 weeks out

They are definitely worth the wait...beautiful :thumbsup:

[caudio51]

Can't wait to see them. That was the only area the Palio was lacking in. Now, she'll function like a champ and be pretty. :grin:

[N2Advnture]

I am torn between which one I like better, the burl wood or the carbon fiber. The both are killer! It's definitely a tough choice indeed.

~M

[cvm4]

Hell I just wanna see some pics!

[rpb67]

Looks like I am going to treat myself to one of each.

[Wasch_24]

Where are the PICTURES!?


:rofl:

[vperlman]

Where are the PICTURES!? :rofl:
Same place as the pricing information... :grin:

[caudio51]

Same price as the regular one would be great!

[vperlman]

Same price as the regular one would be great!
My thoughts exactly :thumbsup:

[N2Advnture]

Same price as the regular one would be great!

I believe the two new versions will be priced higher. The process for the applying the effect was extremely time consuming and expensive. Not sure what the price point will be as of yet though.

You guys will definitely be the first to know :thumbsup:

~Mark

[cvm4]

Thanks Mark

[caudio51]

Yea, that is what I figured. We need to get some more capital for efficient machining so we can push out high volume of Palio cutters at a low cost to the cigar consumer.

[caudio51]

Few weeks away!!

[NYLaw]

Tom or anybody... PICTURES? Has anybody seen pictures? I haven't found them on the website...

[dmoby]

I saw them at jens house at SoCal Herf, Carbon fiber looks cool.

[NYLaw]

Any chance you took some digipics you could post?

ANYBODY have any digital pics they could post? The sheer curiosity is fucking KILLING me.

[dmoby]

No pics, sorry.

[caudio51]

Nope, I haven't seen any pics yet....

[caudio51]

Is the release on schedule?

[N2Advnture]

Is the release on schedule?

Last I heard, they are still lated for late Sept release! :thumbsup: (I assume that means they will be ready for vendors to order)

~M

[caudio51]

Awesome. I'm gonna take a guess and say they will be 2 weeks behind schedule.

[rpb67]

Last I heard, they are still lated for late Sept release! :thumbsup: (I assume that means they will be ready for vendors to order)

I am waiting !

[caudio51]

Well, it's October :grin:

[AZsteelman]

he's holding out on us!

[N2Advnture]

Well, it's October :grin:

:rofl:

Couple more weeks, I have been told

[Wasch_24]

:rofl:

[caudio51]

LMAO!!!! :widemouth :bottle: :stretchgr

[cvm4]

LOL...They have to get the packaging right :hysterica

[N2Advnture]

LOL...They have to get the packaging right :hysterica

Come on guys!

You should know by now that they are perfectionist, they just want to be 100% Palio quality!

After all, that's why we love the original so much :thumbsup:

Man, you guys are tough today!

~Mark

[cvm4]

:rofl: Only Fuente is Fuente :hysterica


I kid I kid!!!

[caudio51]

:rofl:

I just have no patience. Especially since I love my palio, I can't wait for a carbon fiber one. That is just one bad ass!

[rpb67]

:rofl:

I just have no patience. Especially since I love my palio, I can't wait for a carbon fiber one. That is just one bad ass!

I cant wait either.

[AZsteelman]

I dont need one now, I've just received my second Palio!!!

[Moglman]

Pre-order GB?

[vperlman]

Pre-order GB?
Works for me, but I don't think it would work, as a practical matter, before we have pricing info...

[vudu9]

Hands down, the best cutter on the market.

[N2Advnture]

LOL...They have to get the packaging right :hysterica

:grinFU:

Mark

ps - DO NOT CLICK HERE! (http://www.cigarmony.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=441)

[cvm4]

Hehe...Me like!

[caudio51]

Look good!

[AZsteelman]

[N2Advnture]

Resistance is futile :grinFU:

[Wasch_24]

Still Coming Soon?


Dang

[rpb67]

Nice Mark.

Will be ordering by the end of the month !

[joshua]

Oh pictures... its about time.
Now they just need to make some solid colors like navy blue, brick red!

[Brother of the Leaf]

Tough crowd here! lol

Well, we must admit we are addressing this earlier than we had thought we would, but here goes.....

The new versions of the Palió cigar cutter will be available in the coming weeks. Our original intention was to have them available already, but we have taken our time in everything we have done with our company to this point and will continue to do so. If our products and other ventures are not exactly as we want them to be we refuse to go forward with them. To this end we have taken a little longer period of time to make some adjustments we felt necessary.

The new versions of the Palió cigar cutter are not actual Carbon fiber or Burl wood, as the action of the cutter would not remain the same for many reasons. We have always wanted the Palió cigar cutter to have different looks and knew that this would be of great appeal to our customers and to new ones alike. The issue was that the previous owners of the Palió cigar cutter could never figure out a way to incorporate some finishing application without affecting the cutters ability to do its job. We believe we have found a way to offer variety in finish, which is truly limitless and can offer the consumer choices now and into the future. The price of the Design Palió series cutters will be higher than our original composite Palió cigar cutter, but reasonable given the finish and durability.

We are pleased with the reception our product has gotten in its original form and the “buzz” our new versions have created though they have yet to be released. We as a company would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have spoken so nicely about our product. We will continue to produce and bring to market products that will meet your approval and continually strive to improve every aspect of our business. Rest assured we are always working on new ideas and what you have seen and will see soon is only the beginning.

Sincerely,

Brother of the Leaf

[Greg]

There ya have it!

[caudio51]

Thanks for the info BOTL

[AZsteelman]

wow...straight from the horse's mouth! cool!

[Jwrussell]

Oooooh, I like the carbon fiber! 'Course I need another cutter like I need a hole in my head. lol.

[smokinafuente]

I'm liking the Burl wood. Can't wait to see one in person.

[caudio51]

Oooooh, I like the carbon fiber! 'Course I need another cutter like I need a hole in my head. lol.

[N2Advnture]

FYI - So many people have been emailing me, there is now a 'pre-order' list that will be ordered along with my normal order for the new Palios.

If anyone wants on it, please feel free to shoot me an email with "New Palio" as the subject and the model(s) and quantities you want.

Please keep in mind, no set date for release has been given as of yet nor the price point.

Hope this helps

[vperlman]

Hey Mark, put me down for a wood finish one (assuming they're not going to cost more than $50 a pop!).

Thanks!

[caudio51]

Nice!

I've just enjoyed busting your balls Mark. You always let us know the minute you hear something. This sort of thing happens all the time with new products. It always takes longer than you would like to get it out on the market.

Not sure what that means bro, since nobody has actually ordered any yet. But I will definitely be posting when they are on their way to me and activate them on the site (is that what you mean?).

I think it would be a reasonable expectation for orders/shipping to commence the first week of Dec :thumbsup:

[stickman]

It sure looks as if the guys at Palio skunked Mark and the rest of us for at least this Christmas...

[Wasch_24]

Oopsie.

[caudio51]

It sure looks as if the guys at Palio skunked Mark and the rest of us for at least this Christmas...

I'm sure it was not intentional and you run into issues with production all the time.

[N2Advnture]

I'm not too pressed about it at all. I know Jack & Marc would LOVE to have had them available by the holiday buying season, no doubt. BUT, it's a testament to how much more they value a quality product that bares their name over making a quick buck :thumbsup:

~Mark

[Wasch_24]

Of course it was not intentional.

The only beef I could see people having is the way they kept telling the vendors "Soon" and "Next Week".

Honesty is very important.

If it is not going to be ready then say so. Really quite a simple concept.

[CWS]

Hey if Ashton can get away with it for the period they did without reprocussions, Palio certainly can. I tride Randy's at the Vegas herf and must say that is quite a cutter. Maybe they will be around in time for my birthday and I can drop a hint to the wifey.

Being a new process and design I'm sure each day they gave as an estimate, they honestly thought would happen, but things came up that needed to be addressed...which changed the release. ( Just my guess)

[RonC]

getting simple things manufactured is not easy. Something like a cutter that requires close tolerances is much harder. Good things come to those who wait. There are only 2 peole who are more anxious than all the Palio customers, and thats the owners of Palio.

Being a new process and design I'm sure each day they gave as an estimate, they honestly thought would happen, but things came up that needed to be addressed...which changed the release. ( Just my guess)
No doubt. I'm not saying it was on purpose at all.

Maybe honesty was not the right word...maybe they should have just been a little more conservative on their estimates.

Especially after the first date passed by.

Well, their inital estimate was dead on. What happened was they had 1 company that was to apply the new finishes and after extensive sampling, they determined that it wasn't perfect (I saw it and couldn't tell but Palios is VERY meticulous indeed!). So, they decided instead of releasing a product that THEY were not 100% happy with putting their name on, they found another company to apply the new finishes and had to go through the whole sampling process again.

The "updates" were my doing. I was basing it on the most current info that I had which of course changes on a daily basis.

I'd hate to speculate on when they are to arrive (*cough*any day now*cough*) but I don't expect it to be much longer at all.

Hope this helps

Kind of off topic, but.. Just curious where someone would send a 2 year old Palio that might be in need of sharpening, it cuts still but sometmes it does tear or crush as it is cutting.

You can exchange it at any authorized Palio vendor or return it to Palio for an exchange.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried wiping the cutting edges with a Q-tip soaked in alcohol? If not, try it. You might not have to send it back. Otherwise, just send it to Palio, and they'll take care of you.

BTW, Merry Christmas, gang!!! :bottle:

[caudio51]

The alcohol works very well for me. Gets rid of all the tobacco oils that can build up.

I have two Xikars, and I like them plenty, but those Palios cut cigars like buttah.

[MichiganM]

Anyone know of where to get a Palio? It seems as if everyone is sold out!!!

[Viper139]

Saweet Mark.

I wasn't sure because of the message about contacting you that pops up when clicking on the Palio.

Good to know!!

What page is that on? :scratchhe :smokingbo

[MichiganM]

Hmm...it's not doing it now Mark.

I tried ordering one last night off your site and it kept coming up with a message to contact cigarmony for stock information.

I tried it just a moment ago and sure enough it lets you add it to a cart now.

Thanks Mark!

[caudio51]

I don't get any message when I add it to my cart :dunno:

[MichiganM]

I don't get any message when I add it to my cart :dunno:

Yeah, it's weird Tom.

I tried it like 10 times last night. It's working great now. Who knows. I'll order one up when I get home from work later I think.

:thumbsup:

[Halon]

I got it too, Jason. That's why I was wondering about the updates, cause I didn't know what to think about that page.
Hope they come out soon! Although I understand that they are just trying to get us the best product possible.

I think Mark fixed it after you posted that Jason.

Ya know, I was thinking that at first by the way he posted that....I thought I sensed a little sarcasm. It's sometimes hard to notice humor on here, without hearing someone joke with ya. The last emoticon at the end of the sentence kind of made me think he was jiving me.

Just ordered my new Burlwood Palio !!!

Thanks Mark !

[Halon]

Yeah I got the CF one for me and the burlwood one for my dad's late christmas present. Also picked up the cigar bobken (been wanting it for a while!), as I didn't want to order twice and pay for more shipping. It's just too bad that the 'spend $100 and get a free 2-cigar caddy' thing has expired...
Thanks Mark! I can't wait!

The Palios were supposed to arrive on Wed afternoon and didn't arrive until Thursday afternoon. I sent them all out on Friday morning but apparently there was a delay by the Post Office due to the whether conditions last week (ice storms).

I assume they didn't scan the DC #s until they had their s@#% straight :dunno:

I sincerely apologize for the slight delay but you should have it today or tomorrow :thumbsup:
