You can straighten a paper clip.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

But you can't make it drink.

I bought a "Stogie Nubber" at Corona in Orlando and it works great. I will post a pic when I get home.

A RAMclip!

Accept no substitutes!

Ask a couple B&M's amd they never heard of anything.

One of the "smoke" shops suggested a "roach" clip. Looks similar to this.

Where can I pick one of up?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Office supply stores, trade shows, promotional items suppliers. The RAMclip is actually a memo clip holder sent out by a brother on another forum whose login is Ram27 (hence the nickname)

If you want just the clip, you can get the bare alligator clips at any electronics store, even a sucky pseudo-electronics store like Battery Hut (Radio Shack). There are some that have an insulated grip for use a meter probe, HERE that would give you something to hold on to.

You could contact Troy, AKA: Boom, and see if he makes a nubbing spike of some sort, or if he can make you a custom grip for fitting an alligator clip to.

I was thinking of something like that but wouldn't it wrapper?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Wrapper like what? Sing "Ice, Ice Baby..."? Gawd, I hope not.

Yes, the spike will put a hole in the wrapper and the alligator clip might damage the wrapper a bit, but really, we're talking about the last 1" of a cigar - it's not going to make a difference. The cigar will fall apart from the inside out, at that point, a little bit of wrapper damage won't mean anything. You're going to set the clip/spike once and that's it, you're not going to be moving them around much.

Jokes?

I ment more in the line of tearing off a piece but I guess they are not so delicate.

Some wrappers are more delicate than others. Most will probably hold up to a slight pinching, a few might not (Connecticut shade comes to mind) and they'll crack.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Thanks for the info.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

The Stogie Nubber. Looks like they run in the ~$10-$15 range.

I have never smoked the last inch or so. Is there a reason I would want to? :confused: Clearly some people think so or these products would not be made.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

A long time ago, I read some advice on when to stop smoking any particular cigar you happen to be enjoying at the time. It went something like this:

"There is no set point at which you put down a cigar for last time. You stop smoking the cigar when you stop enjoying it, as to not ruin the pleasant memory of the part you have already enjoyed. Be it at the halfway point, the band, an inch left or until you burn your fingers. That's when you set down the cigar."

If it means anything, that advice came from Steve Saka.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Well that works for me. That is the exact reason I stop smoking usually with an inch or so left on most cigars. -(P
