Sure, in today's world that seems like a common household bbq tool, but Ron I guess still gets his ice delivered.

A restricted draw can easily be resolved by rolling the cigar between your fingers with pressure to loosen it. Overthinking is a very popular trend these days. Anything to sell a gimmick or to over complicate something so basic. I prefer to throw junk away then to spend money on how to polish the turd.

I started out thinking that a cigar would be a far less complicated smoke than a pipe, but it seems there are just as many “needed” accoutrements: a cutter, a humidor, a torch lighter and a draw fixer not to mention the additional folding money. :shock: :roll: :lol:

I actually use a small kitchen type torch or a regular Bic / Clipper lighter most of the time. I'd like to take most of the torch type lighters I have and toss them into traffic. Cigars are definitely the expensive side of smoking. And right now the price is higher than ever
