Popular Post The Squiggler Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 just a little tip for those who like to 'nub it'... peel the band free, choke down, and use it as a belt for a burn-free nubbing experience: This is one way to do it (obviously works better with a thinner band, but not a bad resource regardless of what you're working with)... what's your favorite way to nub?? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IanMcLean68 Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks for the tip! My usual method is to hold the cigar with the very tip of my fingers and keep smoking until I burn my fingers and possibly get a blister. Then, I voice an expletive and drop the cigar. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 With Nub (short big RG cigar or real nub) never had a problem, big RG to hold comfortably with your fingers. Thinner formats: mouthpiece, toothpick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, your method is the correct one except for the tiny detail of when dropped, it must be dropped into your lap followed by jump-jump, pat-pat, #$@%! #$@%! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Tigre Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I pinch and do the same thing using the wrapper. Let’s be honest; I’m not gonna have a proper tool to use and will otherwise try to make use of an acorn, blades of grass, a water spigot, a feral cat or any other useless item in my line of sight. ?

Smalls Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I actually use a stingray barb. It has serrations so it holds the nub securely. It's also not bad as a draw tool. It's fairly flat, and the serrations act similarly to a perfect draw. I'm sure it isn't nearly as efficient, but it has worked well for me. The main drawback is that it tapers so you can't insert it nearly as far as you can a regular draw tool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the source of most of my collection, I am. ? Duds show up occasionally, but life’s too short to soldier through a bad cigar. They get replaced quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StogieSteve23 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 All depends on how hot the cigar gets. If I can nub it in my fingers I'll just do that. If not, PerfectDraw. I like the band tip from @The Squiggler though. Might have to give that a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Kipling Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I’ve been using something new lately. It’s a miniature pair of vise grips that I bought as part of a set from Harbor Freight Tools several years ago, There’s a screw adjustment that I can set perfectly to hold the cigar without overly squeezing it. It’s about 4 inches long overall, so isn’t too bulky to use. But there’s enough metal in it to absorb heat so your lips don’t get scorched as the cigar burns to the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibearsv Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Some of you guys aren't nubbing your cigars, you're roaching them. If I can't hold on to it anymore, I'm either done or it's time to fire up a new one. Is there really enough good flavor in any cigar to worry about getting into that last 1/2 inch?

JR Kipling Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Another big fan of the PerfecDraw, though I’m needing it less since bringing down RH on my cigars. I don’t use it as a nubber very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowACE Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I rarely smoke a cigar past the band. I find the flavors get too washed out at that point. A friend of mine, however, will smoke it down to the shoulder if it stays lit. He just holds it in between the blades of a cheap guillotine cutter. Seems to work well for his purposes.

BellevilleMXZ Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Modus ....works great! It does have a have an barbed poker on other end similar to PerfecDraw, but PerfecDraw works a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
