Nub holder?

[Razorhog]

I occasionally see a picture of a BOTL holding a tasty nub with what I can only call a "nub holder". Some I've seen have a coiled wire - I was just wondering where I might procure such a device?

[Patrick B]

A drywall screw is the best thing I've used. Once you screw it in a bit it holds the nub more firmly than any smooth "needle" type holder ever could. Plus it's about 3 cents to replace it when it's lost...

Corn on the cob holders work perfectly.

Go RAMBO style!

[Razorhog]

Awesome suggestions! I've got some corn cob holders that would work great!

[Patrick B]

Yes they would! Never thought of that. Just stay away from any single pronged smooth contraption and you are good to go.

These are made from aluminum:

Did a google search. http://www.thecigarstub.com
$50!! I'll save that money for cigars and use the corn cob holder :D

Edit: I see BigAsh beat me to it!

[RightAJ]

Matches work great! Looks like a tiny hotdog though lol

Use your fingers. Just toughen 'em up a bit.

[slickster81]

Works great as a nub holder, doesn't slip or spin....oh, and they also work pretty well as a draw poker too!

$18.00 shipped (P@P@ fee included)

Ever hear the expression "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it"? I've done that a few times to finish off a particularly good cigar.

But if my pipe isn't handy, a toothpick or one of those swizzle stick "swords" works okay too.

[darkninja67]

Toothpicks work for me

You got any for sale right now?

I like the Corn Cob holder idea, I would try RAMBO style but I am a little clumsy and it would leave some battle wounds..:D

LOL me too. I don't think I have a knife worth of that!

The first, the original and still the best, the ramclip:

And you know you have a genuine ramclip because it says "Merck Medicus" on it.
(ram is too cheap to actually buy any of this stuff, so he just takes stuff from work and sends it out in bombs)

Accept no substitutes!

[neoflex]

Could always go with a thumb tack is all else fails.

[LooseCard]

I picked up a Draw Poker that doubles as a holder as well.

Got it thru a group-buy here, too.

That's what I use and they work very well! I'll also use a toothpick in a pinch. :tu

Good & cheap!

I just used a small bamboo skewer...worked just fine...I also use them to open up a cigar that's only moderately plugged...but that doesn't happen that often...

Great idea on using a bamboo skewer as a draw poker :tu

PM sent to MCSmokey, but Slick's Trick Sticks will be available again soon, just have to make some more up. Order now, and I will get them out ASAP!

[boom]

I just bought one from cigaraccessories.com called a "stogie nubber holder". Looks a little nicer than a paper clip but I like the resourcefulness! :)

[hscmit]

skewers work pretty good too

"Nubbing cigaaaaaarss", how GAUCHE. :)

[DMK]

I've made them out of about 6" of light gauge wire. Twisted loop with two prongs for spiking the nub. Or I also keep a small corn cob pipe for dropping the nub into to finish.:tu

i use an ice pick...which was surprisingly hard to find...that i chopped down and dremmeled to fit in my travel humi better

[Hippiebrian]

Don't mean to resurrect such an old thread, but the obvious was missed. It may come from growing up in the 70's, but the good old fasioned roach clip works wonders!

[audio1der]

The Sweetness clip. Fashioned by a great BOTL, Sweetness. those who know him, love him (and his handmade clips)

Also, if you have access to medical tools/supplies, these "towel clips' lock closed, never rust and hold a stogie perfectly, more comfortably than anything I've ever tried.

[shilala]

I immediately thought "roach clip". Remember when they gave away roach clips with a big wad of feathers hanging off of them as prizes at all the fairs and carnivals? That's the one I thought of.
Then I thought of the metal corn cob holders that someone posted.
I have no use because my cigars tell me when they're out. All the slobber takes care of that. It's a natural defense against burning my lips.

Scott, those were for the girls and they were supposed to be clipped in their hair. I bet you guys also made bongs out of cans. ;)

That's them, Jamie. A can and the screen out of the sink faucet was perfectly acceptable. ;)
