Cutter? - Page 2

Dunhill makes a nice pocket cutter with a loop to carry like a pocket watch. I bought a pair of cigar scissors a week or two ago that I am loving for under $20!

For less than the price of a 5 pack I picked up my Palio. Best cutter I've ever used. It only took one cut using my Palio to covert my a fellow BOTL. He went out and bought one the next day.

I would suggest you go with the Palio. I have a Dupont cutter as well but never use it since the Palio cuts much cleaner every single time.

I have used my Palio everyday, for 2-3 cigars a day, for the past 3 years and it cuts just like the day I got it.

After you screw up a few $10+ sticks with a cheap cutter, you quickly learn the value of having a good cutter to use.

Simple solution: Get the money you would spend on a Dupont cutter and buy a Palio and use whats left over to buy cigars!!

haha if only it was that simple. I'm actually contemplating selling away most of my collection (save the rare Tats & CCs) and all my humidors except for a travel one and my Edgestar, and spend that money on one of my other vices: clothing. My new ST Dupont lighter should be here tomorrow (I expected it here today!!), and I've still not made a decision on the cutter, though it appears that the Palio seems to be the way to go. Also, as it turns out, my favorite cigar accessory, my Xikar Xi009 punch, has gone missing as well. It hasn't been a good week for me and my cigars.

I think burl wood it will have to be. Also, it will match my Chasidor drawers, whenever those get made and shipped!

This might sound crazy, but I am a knife guy and have been cutting all my cigars with my knife(I keep them very sharp). It works great and I can control the speed much better while still getting a clean cut. For me it makes the whole cutting process much more enjoyable. The only cigars where the cutter is handy are torpedoes or other similar shapes.

I vote Palio!

Lately, I've using a Credo cutter like this:

It cuts cleaner and sharper than my Palio.

A lot of my local cigar brothers have thought the same thing.

Palio ftw!

That's a pretty cool looking cutter. I might snag a couple of those for the golf bag. I'd hate to lose my Palio on the course.

Can not go wrong with the palio. I have cut thousands of cigars with mine and still have a perfect cut. I would never trust a cheap cutter on an expensive cigar.
