👎 Was gifted a set. For the life of me I cant see the purpose.

At least this one’s round. My wife bought me the square glass (first version of these, I think) as a novelty. Have you ever tried drinking out of a square glass? No bueno.

It's all in the technique how you drink.Drink out of the corner

Nope!

Being a photographer, I can tell you those are fake ice cubes. If real ice cubes were used, which is what you would use, you would get condensation on the glass and a soggy cigar.  Plus, I would not want to risk getting cigar ash in my drink, which I think would be kind of likely.

Don't forget the dribble down the side of the glass into the holder before resting your cigar in it.

That would be a hard no from me too. I drink my whiskey from a mason jar and rest my cigar on the ashtray.

Seems gimmicky. I prefer Glencairn glasses for my whisky.  I have multiple ways of holding a cigar that won't cause problems.

Got one as a gift a couple of years ago.  Still in the box...  I don't like the concept.

I’ve received 2 as gifts. Definitely a novelty item, one of them I have to love because it’s inscribed with PAPA from my grand sons.

They don’t work well for holding the cigar but are a fun conversation piece.
