bradbrennan Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I light another... When you hit a sweet one, I can't put it down! This ^^^ Sent by telepathic superpowers. -Stogieboy toothpick simple yet affective I've had the toothpick burn so prefer a finish nail...Brad nail some call it I have a few Doctor friends that have hooked me up with some hemostats!!! I have a former employee that smoked a lot of weed that said he could make me something special for this, haven't pushed him on it as I'm afraid of what it would look like to police if I got pulled over...but I like your hemostat idea!
Susanne Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 For such things we have acrylic nails... (OK, I know, you guys will think its cheating, but all is fair in love and excellent cigars!) Catch it between my thumb and my index and middle finger. I've only scorched a nail one or two times doing this (and, oh God, catching a nosefull of burning plastic was *that* awful!!!) but when you get those sticks you just *can't* put down, it's worth the risk. There was this H. Upmann once (it was this Churchil or Toro or some ostentatious ring gage I almost never touch); a gift from a friend at a dinner... It was perfumed cream, scented of gardenia and leather and the slightest touch of... Some rare insence. the burn was *perfect*... the taste... beyond mere words. I was nursing it like one would nurse a extra strong adult beverage at the beginning of a party... and yet, 90+ minutes later, past the band stripe (where the band usually ends), I was *not* ready to give this one up. WAY worth the risk. And going to the nail lady for the repair. OK, so once it's done... with much regret (ha ha ha)... I will light a back-up. Because... well, I don't have to 'splain to you guys, you just *know*. :-) Sus 1
puromaniac Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Nice. Those of us with fewer X chromosomes have to make do with too-short nails and toothpicks though we share your enjoyment.
Lasabar Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 My Xikar Multi-Tools poker works wonders! It just blackens the steel a bit

GodofFire Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Roach clip all the way. Brings back some good memories from which it was used on other "tobacco" 1
Rushman Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Fingers but when I had my Xikar scissors I would gently hold with it and it works well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

MrGTO Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Honestly, if I didn't have such desensitized hands, or such a penchant to build all my own gear. As a machinist/welder I feel ya. I was touching up a stick the other day and melted the tip of my fingernail with my torch and saw it before I felt it. 1
actzz541 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks for the link! A little bit more expensive than the eBay stuff but they look so much nicer! Hektor is an awesome awesome dude! Spend your money there, just a precious family! I do wonder about the pipe though, still yet to try it...
