So, I know this is a common question, so I will preface with this: I have purchased a Xikar Xi Cutter, and a Palio, and loved the Palio to bits. Unfortunately, a week after I received it, I somehow lost my Palio & my ST Dupont Xtend while moving all my cigar stuff (on Sunday). Pretty much the most devastating loss (cigar-wise) I've received...
I still have my Xikar, and a Xikar 009 punch (which I adore). I also have another ST Dupont lighter on the way. However, I did enjoy my Palio for the time I had it, and hopefully it will show up before I move out of this apartment at the end of the month... My question is, should I buy another Palio, or should I go with a ST Dupont cutter? I really liked the Palio, but the finishes are very... plasticky. The ST Dupont cutters look phenomenal, and the red gloss finish that would match the lighter I purchased would look fantastic. But does the ST Dupont have a good cut, or will I inevitably go back to buying a Palio?
Thanks for reading through all of that. I appreciate any responses.
