Agreed, that just looks too easy to ruin your cigar, search it on YouTube and tell us what you find.

Maybe I'll try one one day... I'm not holding my breath.
I'll stick to a punch. Seems like a good idea but not worth the risk to me.

You get what you pay for, I reckon. I guess having one on a key chain for emergency smoke availabilty might be ok.

The punch is a key ring.

They are nice because they are cheap and if you lose it who cares. On the other hand I have had mine split the wrapper when pushing it in to deep. (insert "that's what she said" here). Don't use one anymore.

Got to have good hand control. I can see that happening. Looks like if you just put a little to much muscle, BAM, all the way down. I've done it with the punch, but it stops after a short way.

I got one as a freebie and tried it on a few sticks. I did not like it. The hole made by the spike is very small, so I had to make multiple holes in order to get a good draw and due to the small holes I got a lot of tar...

Doesn't look like something I'd enjoy trying. I'll stick to my Xikar X8 and Palio. :2

And you know you'd never hurt yourself when you put your hand in your pocket to grab your keys.

The guy that makes these is from Michigan I believe. He came to a herf one time or we met him at a non-accessory related cigar event. Seemed to work ok on cigars from what I saw. Never tried one. Buena Fortuna I believe was given one and used it so if he chimes in here that would help.
SA-WHHEET!
Guitar picks on a chain for punching ceegars. Wooty-woot-woot!
Mortimer, we'll be rich.
For the size hole it makes, I could just jamb a pencil into the end of the cigar for a monumental savings.

I have a similar point on my knife might have to try it. I usually just score an x or very carefully cut the cap with the blade if I forget the proper tools.

Why wouldn't you just use a key if that is a satisfactory technique for somebody, instead of adding another "black" key to your chain?

...and use the pencil to write a review with afterward.

I prefer to use the CigarRake.:D This way I can punch almost two weeks worth of smokes at the same time.
