PerfecDraw

[prodigy]

I just ordered mine as well as the glue. Quick question regarding the glue. I have two cigars in need of some TLC. a RYJ Wide Churchill that has a piece of the wrapper lifted but still intact that needs to be sealed and a CORO with a very tiny hole. My question is can I perform the repair now and smoke them lets say 5 years from now or should I repair them and smoke them right away.  Thanks! 

It's the same glue used when the cigars are rolled, at least close enough. You could wait as long as you wanted before smoking after repairing.

Thank you!

Got a box of PSP Punch Punch from our host and the first cigar I grabbed was plugged.  I made it about an inch and tossed it.  My Perfec Draw is being delivered today.

Talk about fast shipping... Nice customer service!

I've owned the draw tool and glue for a couple of weeks now.  Thank goodness I didn't throw away so many cigars, over the years, that were tight or semi-plugged.  I've held on to these cigars, hoping that age, at some point, might help them draw better.   Now I have a good way to fix them.  I've gotten good with the tool (and the glue, which is fantastic as well) and repaired many cigars that had problems...and now the draws on these cigars are very acceptable (or in most cases, draw beautifully).  Thank you, Rod!  Excellent product .  PS - it might be nice to offer the choice of a lager size bottle of glue?..just a thought.

...offer the choice of a larger size bottle of glue...

Just received my second PerfecDraw this morning - along with a complimentary bottle of Repair glue ....

Can only attest to a perfect customer service and communication with Dr Rod Kurthy, the CEO of Perfec Draw after I received a rare "Limited Edition" tool that was defective.

Very happy to have it and hope I will not use it too frequently ... :-)

Saved another stick last week. May be the best cigar money spent...

Hey guys (‘n gals)!  Thanks again for all of your enthusiasm about my little PerfecDraw and PerfecRepair inventions.

BIG NEWS!  I have GOT to tell you what’s going on.  Can’t believe it!

It’s only been within the last small handful of months that the PerfecDraw has been introdued in Europe and some other areas around the world.  And we’re just a start-up company – just started as a fun sideline for me when I was pushed by friends to launch these products that I’d created only for my own use.  I already had a big company in the dental industry, so we decided we’d “just do it” and run it through the same facility.

Well, just two days ago I was contacted by The Cigar Journal.  They sponsor the Cigar Trophy awards.  These are said to be the most prestigious product awards in the cigar industry.  They are the ONLY awards that are based on voting by real cigar smokers like you.

This is all announced through The Cigar Journal, which is an international magazine with only 20% of its circulation here in the USA.  We’ve never worked with any magazine and have never done any formal advertising.  So I didn’t even know we’d been nominated for the Cigar Trophy Best Cigar Accessory of 2018.

So after voting, we are now among the five finalists!  So I just heard about this for the first time two days ago when I was contacted by the owner of The Cigar Journal.  Like I said, I didn’t even know we’d been nominated!

From June 20 – 27, the voting is at CigarTrophy.com, and you do not need to be a subscriber of The Cigar Journal.  So if you just LOVE the PerfecDraw, please take the time to go vote.  That would be simply AWESOME!!  I’m just booking my flights tonight to attend the awards ceremony in Germany.  Blows my mind and feels so awesome to know so many love my little invention.

Very best,

Rod

Already voted Rod, your tool saved an aged stick last night - that alone is priceless!

This and the Cigar Traveller lighter have been worth their weight in gold for me.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!  What a night that Cigar Trophy Awards Ceremony was!!  I have to say how incredibly impressed I was to see the cigar industry behind the scenes.  Though all these folks are technically competitors, you would NEVER know it.  They're all just one big loving family.  All the various cigar companies help and root for each other at all times.  The genuine love that I felt in that room was overwhelming.  And how all these folks, whom I've never met before, welcomed my wife and me with open arms is just amazing.

I figured that most of these folks had never even heard of the PerfecDraw yet.  But you should have heard the astounding applause when they announced the PerfecDraw as the winner of the Cigar Trophy Award for Best Accessory of 2018.  And to have Carlos Fuente, Jr. come up to me, congratulate me, and then reach out to give me a huge hug was the topper of the evening.  What an amazing man he is!

So THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!  Thanks for your support, your great comments, and for simply being a great bunch of friends!

[Ryan]

Congratulations and well deserved!

It's a great tool. It's one of those designs/inventions that when I first saw it, I thought "why hadn't this been done already?"

Well done.

[alloy]

Very well deserved! You have made plugged cigar smoking a pleasure for me. 

[Raskol]

Congratulations! Rod..

Congratulations: well deserved! Really grateful for your invention.

Just placed my order! Looking forward to using it on a box of Bolivar belicoso finos I got in Cuba that are tight on a 4 out of 5 ratio so far. No more discarded smokes! Congrats on the success Rod!

 

[Optic101]

Congratulations Rod !

Anyone knows if there is a coupon code?

Reviving an old thread but I have a question. You also sell the best cigar wrapper repair solution I've used yet. Any chance of selling it in a bottle that's 20x larger than what's currently available? Thanks!

At some point in the future, we may be able to provide this in a larger container, but probably not as large as you're talking about.  

It's not as simple as whipping up a bigger bottle.  There are all sorts of regulatory issues and laws that we have to deal with and a buncha very costly hoops to jump through.  We do get some comments regarding a larger bottle, but not many.

The comments we get mostly are from customers that mention that not only does the PerfecRepair work far better than anything else on the market, but that the other common stuff on the market comes in a bottle that's much larger in diameter, so it's uncomfortable to carry it in a pocket or cigar tool kit, and they like the slim diameter of the bottle.  Also, with the formula being so effective, you don't need to use nearly as much, and testing shows it's good for approximately 80 routine repairs.  So that works out to just 11 cents per repair.

So the bottom line is that every time a company brings out some different variation, there is a LOT of time and cost involved.  So if you don't have enough demand (sales), it can be a big problem.

It's really funny how popular the PerfecRepair has gotten.  I started the company just because I'd created the two products that became the PerfecDraw and PerfecRepair only for my own use.  In addition to practicing dentistry, I've been a healthcare research scientist for 42 years.  So I'm used to thinking of things and turning them into reality.  So I did that just for my own use.  But when friends saw these things and tried them themselves, they went nutso over them.  Since I already own a large company in the dental industry, I figured "Why not?  I'll just use my current facility and employees."

I knew that the PerfecDraw would be an immediate hit and become popular, which it most certainly has.  But I didn't figure the PerfecRepair would gain nearly the popularity.  But I was wrong.  It just amazes me how many orders we get for PerfecRepair.  Just as much as for the PerfecDraw.  And with Christmas shopping having started, we're getting more orders for PerfecRepair than even the PerfecDraw.  Go figure!

I determined that the company would never be a "me too" company.  The only time we'll bring out new products is if they're truly "new", or have significant and very unique improvements over other products.  I'm in the middle of the development of the next two products, which are totally "new" (never before anything like them), and which I think will also solve a lot of common frustrations that my brothers of the leaf have.

Everybody have a GREAT holiday season.

Very best,

Rod

Thanks for the fast and succinct explanation. I agree with everything you've said. I just know that I have a large amount of damaged cigars and was hoping an option existed, or could exist.

Let me know if you need any additional "beta testers" for your new products. You have me all excited and I dont even know what for yet haha.
