Palio cutter

[joshua]

Who had the Palio cutter? I think I want one now after trying it.

I'm pretty sure it was Todd's. Very nice cutter.

Let me know if you can't find one online. Last time i was at the local shop they had them.

Yeah, mine was floating around. Vipe bombed me with it back in like February.

Well I found them for $40 http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/search/accstats.cfm/inum/14089

On club stogie a guy posted and said they were going to re-release them in the US again, which would be promising.

Well the site is, but from what other people said most places that used to have it stocked ran out and couldn't refill their stock. Who knows how many that site has left... but if they do come out with new ones then maybe they will be easier to find and cheaper.

They have them at my local shop for i think 40, i'll check there.

True. Someone purchased the company and is going to start producing and distributing them from the US.

Nice, more pics! Still smackin' myself for not bringing mine along. And yes, that Palio is a great cutter. $30-40 seems to be about the norm for it. I'll have to pick one up at some point.

What is the advantage of the Palio single blade design compared to an Xikar Xi or Xi2?

The Palio is actually a double blade cutter, made of surgical steel that has a "self sharpening" patent.

Sorry Vipe and Todd...didn't mean to hijack the thread with my cutter question!

Not a problem at all :thumbsup:

The Palio is actually a double blade cutter, made of surgical steel that has a "self sharpening" patent. You have to use one to get it. But $40 for a plastic cutter is a bit much IMHO.

I have a rosewood Xicar that I like a lot as well.

The description in the link posted above called it one of the finest single blade cutters...

Is there another model that is double bladed?

No relation I assume!

That's weird...I can assure you there are two blades on the Palio cutter.

 

[N2Advnture]

Interesting!

Nope, but the owner lives outside San Antonio. Jack (cigartexan), do you know Mr. John Sheerin?

I'm betting Famous Smoke has always used 'single cutter' in their description. I tried pulling it up via web.archive.org but turned up nothing...
