Cigar draw tools? - Page 2

12-28-2008, 09:55 AM

Another satisfied owner of a set of Henry's Draw Tools here. I upgraded from the large paperclip I was using previously. Once I learned not to go to deep and stay about an inch back from the burn line, I started having much better luck with them. Before I learned, I was running it all the way through and found it ruined the taste.

I'm actually looking for a 'nicer' set of draw tools (Henry's seem to be done @ heartfelt), so please let me know if the creative juices get flowin'....

I've used a paperclip, but would love to get one of these pipe tools

DKPRLP · 12-28-2008, 10:53 AM

I use a coat hanger with the end flattened and twist when I pull it out. Rarely have to use it though..

Silound · 12-28-2008, 11:24 AM

Ok, so it seems like there's a handful who don't have Henry's tools that would want something. Maybe I need to get a creatin then and make a couple.

Where can you get the Henry's tools?

12-28-2008, 11:43 AM

Where do you buy Henry's draw tool? I googled it but I cannot find a link, and it is not on CI or Famous, at least with a search.

Thanks!

I use a thin drill bit. Twist going in, twist pulling out. Works great

I bought some metal BBQ skewers that I cut down that seem to work pretty good. I hate having to use them, but its nice to have something ready to go.

WyGuy · 12-28-2008, 12:15 PM

I just use a paper clip whenever I need to loosen the draw up. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done. Might have to give the drill bit a try next time.

Heartfelt seems to be out of stock and has been for a little while now, I wonder if they will get more

That Henry's draw tool looks alot like the $2 worm threader I purchased from Bass Pro Shops...

Seriously, save the $18 and grab a worm threader. Has the nice wooden handle to boot...

TOB9595 · 12-28-2008, 12:46 PM

I use a KABOB SKEWER most of the time. I also Hhave a DRAWPOKER. Works well...
DRY BOXING seems to work the best for me.
I am sorry to say.

I don't have one but I use the one at the shop when I need it. BTW Don Salvatore makes a decent looking one called a Havana draw enhancer.

Yeppers! If you make them, you could probably sell them!

I actually paid for the Drawpoker a couple of years ago and have used it often when I get a cigar ( pre light ) that is plugged. The nice thing about this is that you are assured of a straight rod going thru the entire cigar without worrying if your line goes off center and you poke a hole in some other area of what you are smoking. Since I have been dry boxing my cigars for the last year I don't use the poker as much.

borndead1 · 12-28-2008, 04:57 PM

Have a DrawPoker and use it to open up plugged cigars.

It also works well as a roach clip--just stab the DP into the side of the cigar and I can nub it down to almost nothing.

Some cigars are just too packed though, and the wrapper will split if you stick any kind of draw opener into the cigar.
