I have now seen the light!

OK so I have been on this board for over a year now and have been smoking back since 1993 or so. I have been using the old cheap cutters that you get at the cigar store. I do not think I have ever paid more than $4 for a cutter over the years. So I buy on from Ron C and I have now used my Palio for about my last 5 cigars, and then cut one with my old cutter during that time as well and I think you might guess the outcome. Man I can not belive I have been smoking this long and have never used a good cutter. I guess I just consider myself a NEWBIE again. Thanks for helping me out and thanks for the info on so mony things fellow BOTL's.

And glad to see you back on the board.

Thanks bro, it's good to be back...

Now go out and get yourself a SAK for the larger ringers. In fact I think the Sak and Palio are equal in sharpness and awesome cutting ability. The Palio is certainly easier to carry than the "luxury cigar tool"(kind of fat if you only want a cutter).

I love the Palio, you really can't get any better!

I too use to buy $3 cutters for years and got in on this Palio deal and absolutely love it. Things like this are what make BOTL a real gem for me, if it wasn't for this site I would have never known the beauty of this cutter.

I graduated from a swiss army knife to a Palio last year. No comparison! :stretchgr

 

[Rich K]

I felt the exact same way about my Palio. I still think about it every time I cut a stick.

 

[RigilKent]

yep good cutters are worth the cost

 

[Saully]

Sounds like they're worth it -- but I'm too cheap.

 

[bballbaby]

I was the same way JOhn. Ron put that Palio deal up just in time too because i was getting tire of mangling my cigars with thos cheap single blade cutters. I could never get a straight cut and they always tore the wrapper in some way.

I have a Xikar cutter and punch and love both. Don't think I've used the Palio yet.

 

[jakeemtrn]

I am a brand new smoker but I love my Xikar. My first cut with the Xikar was amazing. It was amazing the difference. I kinda want to try Palio but I want to save the money to buy smokes.

Then watch for sales. Believe me, I love a bargain, too, but a good cutter like a Palio (my personal choice), Xikar or SAK is worth the money.

 

[dpricenator]

There is a great deal at Cigarsolutions, for a 15 stick travel humi and a Palio for $50 I think.

 

[Headbanger]

I hardly use the Xikar xi2 cause the Palio works so well.
