Cigar Bibs Anyone?

Have you ever wished for a bib to catch your errant ash, whilst sitting back in a lounge chair enjoying your favourite stogie? Well, wait no longer as a Kickstarter campaign has been launched by LuJo&Co Inc for this very purpose. Read on...

LUJO&CO INC. LAUNCHING KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN FOR CIGAR BIBS

APRIL 30, 2024 - PATRICK LAGREID

At some point in every cigar smoker’s life, a clump of hot ash will drop in their lap, which can result in stained and possibly burnt clothes. A new product called Cigar Bibs from LuJo&Co Inc. aims to prevent those burn marks by giving cigar smokers a fire-proof piece of fabric to place in their laps.

“As an avid cigar smoker, I had a huge problem burning myself and ruining my clothes from not paying attention to the cigar ash during conversations and other distracting events like listening to music or even driving,” said Alphonso Brown, founder and ceo of LuJo&Co Inc. “After costly replacements of shirts, pants, and shorts in addition to a significantly higher dry-cleaning bill—I even dropped hot ashes on my leather car seats causing unpleasant damage—I had to find a solution to solve my highly inconvenient problem. I have also seen this happen to female cigar smokers with their dresses, skirts, and pants as well.”

Brown spent two years researching materials and designing prototypes that he felt achieved the perfect balance of usability, elegance, luxury and style in a fire-certified fabric.

“The Cigar Bibs provides peace of mind when enjoying a relaxing smoke,” Brown said in a press release. “You don’t have to worry about unexpected hot ashes falling on you, burning your skin, or damaging your clothes. The Cigar Bibs offers protection while doing it in style.”

The company is set to launch its Kickstarter campaign on May 2, and is offering supporters a way to get their own Cigar Bib at a discounted price of $281 as compared to the MSRP of $469. Cigar Bibs are available in four colors: black, blue, green, and burgundy. The company offers both a classic and contemporary font option, as well as the ability to add personalization for an additional fee, such as initials or Greek letters for fraternities, sororities and honor societies. The company also offers a cleaning kit that comes with a solution to restore the fire-retardant nature of the fabric, as well as a horsehair brush to clean the Cigar Bib.

Brown is expecting to have the Cigar Bibs ordered through the Kickstarter campaign available in mid-June.

The training wheels of cigar smoking?  Crazy expensive too. 

I'll pass. I wouldn't want to miss the fun of dropping ash down the leg of my shorts and then doing my solo version of the German slap dance. 🤣

[westg]

Not in a million years would you see me wearing something like that . Ohhhhhh have you seen my blanky 🤣

[El Presidente]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[MoeFOH]

I'll take two if they make it a nappy I can wear on the outside of my pants. No way I'm using a blanky! 

[teamrandr]

He's smoking something that's for sure.

[Hemclas]

I'm confused about the price, why are they so expensive?

[BrightonCorgi]

I am the guy who gets ash on myself and floor. Guilty as charged. 

[Fuzz]

Geez, instead of hiding the fact that you've made an ash of yourself, you go and buy a cigar bib that tells everyone you're an ash-hole that can't even make it to the ashtray.

[Lamboinee]

It also hides babies from the sun.

Will be a big hit in Atlanta.

  Could do with a cigar rest for when we have to clap along with the nursery rhymes too.

This might be one of the most commentated stories on Facebook that Halfwheel has ever posted.

[MickVanWinkle]

My struggle is less ash and more with dinner… find an acceptable adult bib for dinner and I’ll buy a variety to match the suit/outfit!

[Baccy]

AND it even says "cigar bib" on it🤣

...this almost too hilarious to believe. He says in the video it's "patent pending" and how the hell do you patent what is basically a glorified hand towel? Yeah good luck with that!🙄

My wife after seeing this:

"I could make those and sell them for 20 euros, well maybe not 20 it seems too much don't you think ?"

" They expect to sell them 469 dollars a piece"

"What ?? Who would buy that ??"

Very good question.......

[westg]

Why is your wife looking at you as if she literally wants kill you ? 

Because I can't find my blanky 😪☠️👻💣. Ohhhh my blanky ...I need my blanky 👀....prepare to die ☠️

Who? Apparently 3 people. I seriously doubt they will get to their goal.

I assume the three people are M.Brown and his family, otherwise I can't compute this information 🤯

[Fuzz]

Oh, and these guys are a little behind the eight ball. Someone else is trying to patent their bib last year. Though, more apron than bib!

[Fuzz]

Heck, for $58 you can get one of these and be the coolest cat at the senior's centre.
