Palio, XiKAR, Zino cutter comparison (PICS)

[DriftyGypsy]

Ya, know... I am just a simple gypsy lad... I do not obsess over different cutters. I just want a good clean cut. I own a Palio (recent purchase) several Havana Cutters that I got from a local B&M which I have stashed all over the place and was my every day cutter until I got the Palio. I do have a real nice Zino cutter. I keep it in my laptop case for emergencies (in case I lose or forget one of the others). Until I got the Palio I loved my Havana cutter, I still do and always will, however the Palio just gives a better cut. Now, I haven't mentioned the Xikar, I do not own one so I cannot comment.

Was just looking over the weekend for a good cutter and could not decide.Thanks for the info.

Awsome post, I just ordered a Palio, but it claimed that it could cut up to 60 ring gauge cigars on Heartfelt industries. Is this a newer release? Or an exageration?

Nice review - Never tried a Xikar - have a Palio and love it. Been thinking of upgrading to one of the new wood models.

SirGreenface, it can cut a larger cigar, you just can't fit the entire cigar in it. You can get enough of the cap in to get a good cut, though. I've cut 52 RG cigars with a Havana Cutter.

Very good Thread!!! It has given me some direction in the purchase of my first cutter.

You can cut up to 60RG if you "finesse" it, 58 RG is more accurate IMHO.

Hope this helps

I love those Xikar cutters. Their my favorite. I just wish I could pronounce the name.

i've got both the xikar and the palio...for whatever reason, i always use my xikar and have only used the palio twice. it's as if the palio is too sacred to use...that and i get a kick out of the little clicky release deal the xikar has.

endless hours of mindless fun. i used to take it with me to dinner...open, close, open, close, open....open, close.

Isn't that called OCD?
