Is there really a difference?

The Pailo and Xikar are on the same level cut and quality wise I think. Which one just boils down to personal preference. I grab my Palio maybe 60-70% of the time over my Xikar. But I also use a punch quite a bit.

A cheap cutter might work great for a little while but they start to get dull and start to just squeeze the cap instead of clean cutting it.

Think about how much you spend on cigars. Spending $25 (that's how cheap I got my xikar on cbid) to $40 on a Palio is not much in grand scheme of things for something you are going to get so much use out of.
