Well done, kind Sir!!
I have three of the six and I have to admit to rotating between my Palio and my Xikar Xi3 (the most). I also have to admit, when it comes to a "Special Occasion" smoke, I find myself grabbing my Palio more often then my Xikar.
Side NOTE: I have many lighters, but my favorite
ligher/cutter combo is my
Blazer Chief II. This is a small RG cutter (maybe 48 RG tops), but this has got to be the
sharpest cutter I've ever owned, it's like cutting butter. So sharp in fact, I've cut my finger without even knowing it. I know, how do you cut your finger with a cutter? I'm one of those that test sharpness of blade by grazing my finger across the blades of any cutter, knife, axe etc. (crazy?, maybe, but they don't call this place the Asylum for nothing).
Very, VERY well done, in depth review!! It appears you've spent a lot of time on this, and I for one, want to thank you. Double
