My experience has been quote the contrary and I'm wondering if I just got a bad one. About 1 of every 2 cuts results in a split wrapper and the center of the cigar does not cut cleanly. It's a nice looking carbon fiber peice, but it doesn't cut worth a damn! VERY DISAPOINTING.

Whadayathink??? Any body have a similar experience OR anbody want to rave. Your input is appreciated.

BTW..My Xikar is extremely reliable and makes a clean cut EVERY TIME.

Customer service was on it like white on rice, I'll let you know when a complete one arrives how it does.

Thanks! Please keep me posted. I think I'll start the process myself.

if it was sharpness not sure who id contact...

I think these guys really crank a LOT of these cutters out so there is bound to be a dud here and there but they do make good on their guarantee. I've found the only cutter I'll ever need.

No doubt either would take care of you bro.

About 2 weeks later a new black Palio arrived. I contacted them again and they apologized for the mixup and asked that I keep the black one and they sent a new carbon fiber about a week later.

That is CS!

I am just waiting to hit a store that sells them to trade it in on a sharper one. Maybe that will take care of the trouble.

I just picked up a new Xikar on CigarBid, and it gives me a clean crisp cut. One thing I know, when you do cut, you can't go slowly, you need to just cut it quickly.

I still have my original Xikar that I got over 10 years ago. It still works like new. I have about 15 Xikars now... mostly received as gifts over the years... my favorite is the Room 101 version that I got for Father's Day last year... followed by the Mammoth Tusk Hutch scrimshawed one....

Just think about where it comes from.

Oh sh1t ... Pailo ... I thought it said PABLO cutter

NEVER MIND !!!

are you cutting premiums or super-premiums with it..?? 😕

Premiums.. super premiums.. and dog rockets.....🇨🇮

And what might you consider a dog rocket?

They only work good for cutting CUBANS 🇨🇮

How you been Skipper?

Busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest.....

daughter's wedding in NYC in 2 weeks.... last kid at home graduates from HS in 4 weeks and heads off to Parris Island... and got both my Mom and Pop fighting cancer (2500 miles away) and I know one of them likely won't see 2012... so it's been an emotional year... plus I have to lay off 200+ people next month...

Thank God for Callaway irons, cigars, sour mash bourbon or single malt scotch whiskey......

Well congrats on the wedding and son going into the military, but sorry to hear about your parents and the layoffs. Hope all goes well for you Tom.
