AHHHH!!! I have one of those, It tears the hell out of every cigar I have ever cut with them. Save your cash, Spend it on a Xikar!
Damn I hope they didn't cut that Cohiba right where the cutter is currently located!
AMEN!!! There was a thread on another board about these when they were available for a group purchase a year or two ago. Some people had good experience, but most (including yours truly) thought they sucked. As Donk said, they tear the cigar on every cut. Based on the low cost, my guess is that the reason for the problem, as well as for the varying opinions, is poor quality control. You MIGHT get a good one, but it's a crapshoot, IMO.

I saw that cutter at New Havana's site. I want that and the Tat Ashtray
I think Palios, Xikars and SAK's all cut equally well. To me, the biggest difference is in the feel and "action." Personally, I find Xikars uncomfortable to use and bulky, and I could never get used to the feel of scissors. But that's just me, and what I don't like may be desirable features to others.
Yep. Just takes a little practice. I lie the Xikar because you can use it with one hand.
I agree, I use the Palio when out and about. At home I use Donatus sissors cause they are wicked sharp and provide a cleaner cut. My Xikar just sits on the shelf, I don't think I've used in a year or more.
