Best Cigar Cutters?

I just got my Palio the other day so I have yet to use it, but so far my Xikar has cut my stogies very good for the past 8 years!!

:ss
 
Xikar or Palio all the way.. both right around $30.00 for the base models.. Plus, the cutting part is all the same, and the more expensive xikars are really just for look. Both guaranteed to wazooo...

I do have to say though, my Palio has been making my xikar look bad lately. That Palio just cuts so damn clean!
 
If you're used to the motion of using your fingers like with the cheap cutters, I'd say go for the palio. I just got one and the difference going from a cheap 99 cent cutter to the palio is incredible. However, if you want to use your hand and palm rather than your fingers, I'd go with a xikar.

I've never used a Palio, but I prefer the palm/hand movement to the individual fingers. I feel more steady using my hand/palm. For this reason, I love my Xikar. I don't doubt the cutting ability of the Palio, but I'm more comfortable with the Xikar's movement, and it hasn't let me down in 3 years.
 
I've gone back to the razor blade guillotine type Havana cutter, dirt cheap but the best cut you can get, quick and straight.

Palios are nice and nothing's a better fit and easy to use for me but the consistently best cuts I get from the cheapo Havana
 
Out of al my cutters the one prefer is my cuban crafters cutter. Its a dual blade cutter and it has a back on it, so your cuts are always perfect depth.
