Palio Cutter Review – Best Of All Cigar Cutters

I bought my first Palio cutter a few years ago.  In that time, it quickly became my favorite cigar cutter.  Truthfully, the Palio cutter became my favorite cigar cutter the first day that I used it.  I had been using the cheap cigar cutters that cigar shops will give you if you buy a bunch of cigars.  They did a decent job, but they would dull very quickly, or fall apart before it got dull.  Usually, the blades and construction of the cheap cigar cutters were pretty loose. This would sometimes give me an uneven cut, or worse yet, a cracked cigar. Instead of the cutter giving me a clean cut, the dull blade actually split the wrapper.  After that, the draw was terrible, and I threw the cigar away.

After throwing away a $8 cigar, I decided to get a good quality cigar cutter.  I went into a local shop and spent $20 on a new cutter.  I figured for $20, I would be getting something good.  Truth is it was not much better than the cheap cutter that had ruined my cigar.  So I started looking on the internet cigar forums for some opinions.  The name “Palio Cutter” kept getting mentioned over and over again as being the best cutter.  So I took the plunge and bought a Palio cutter.  I was not disappointed.

The Palio cutter gives an amazing cut.  The blades are sharp and fit tight, but operate smoothly.   A nice tight fit with no sloppiness to the construction. It really is a solid and quality product that you can just feel.   It has a very smooth and precise cutting operation.  It also has a sleek look to it, and the ergonomics are perfect. It is the most comfortable cigar cutter your hands will ever feel.  It also comes in a nice leather case to keep you cigar cutter looking like new.

Besides my original black Palio cutter, I have also bought more for myself, and as gifts. While they all work the same, and give the same awesome cut, my new favorite palio cutter is the carbon fiber finish Palio cutter.  It looks like it belongs in a spaceship with that awesome carbon fiber finish.  I have also bought the Burl finish Palio cutter for my dad.  He says it is the best looking and best performing cigar cutter ever.
