Is there really a difference?

I have a bunch of Xikars. I just can't dig the Palio. It pinches me.
$5.00 cutters make a $5.00 cut for about ten cigars, then they make a $2.00 cut for awhile, then they pretty much just mash the cap off.
I'd just as soon use my teeth and save the five bucks.
When I invest in Palio or Xikar, I'm good for life. If they go dull, they'll take care of it. If they break, they take care of it.
It's the same with tools. I don't buy a $1.00 hammer, either. If I buy the best, I'm always happy. If I buy junk, I tend to get what I paid for, with an added bonus of frustration.
