Softee Bits

I never smoke tipped cigars so I wouldn't know. I always enjoy the mouth bite of cigars.

It is incredibly difficult for me to clench a cigar and not have massive amounts of smoke go up my nose. It just ruins my day.

You should smoke longer cigars.

Yes but it will get shorter regardless

I see your point, but you shouldn't clench it then. Clenching is for the beginning of a Churchill. When you get closer to the butt end, use a toothpick, hobo-style. You cannot clench a cigar speared by a toothpick.

Extra points if it is a pick from a club sandwich, with the frills on the end. Go all high hat.

I started using them on my cobs to protect the cheap stems, took a few days but got used to them and now prefer them.

I used to use them all the time. I haven’t used one on a new pipe for years. I keep them on a few of my older pipes mostly out of habit. One reason I don’t use them as much now is I know what buttons work best for me; some of my older pipes have so-so button work (including a favorite Ashton made by Bill).

I for one am glad there is not a Show Us Your Buttons thread. I suspect we'd get at least one post of a member's bellybutton that would make us want to gouge our eyes out with a Czech tool.

Don’t give @Kevin Keith any ideas
