Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

Bought a set of Henry's tools from Heartfelt and while I have not had to use them often...they have been great when pressed into service.

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

Me too. Mine say my name though.:r

I happened to leave them outside, in my patio, in Florida.
Nothing survives that.
They are now slightly rusted but I prefer to call the look "rustic".:D

Dang!!!

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I couldn't find any Henry's tools so I started making my own Draw Pokers. This is what I came up with.

Cigar draw tools?
 

I can't say I've ever needed one. I have only found a handful of cigars that did not have a good to great draw. :D

A stainless steel worm threader from any tackle store will set you back about 3 bucks and works just great

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

Ok, well since so many people seem like they'd like one, I'm going to try and finalize a better (sic) design than the one I have currently, and make a few prototypes for testing. If all goes well, I'll post further.

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I don't own one, but would if I had too. Luckily, I haven't had the need to use one since I lowered my RH to 62-65% several years ago. I also test the draw before I light, so that also helps me avoid the need for a draw tool.

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I guess I should feel fortunate that I picked up a set of Henry's Tools before they vanished. They come with a nice set of instructions that's entertaining to read.


On the topic about making draw tools, I noticed one day that there are barbeque or grill skewers that have wooden handles (maybe a bit large, mind you) and shafts that are marked off at 1" intervals like Henry's tools so that you can judge how far in it goes. I haven't compared the shaft sizes to see if they're comparable, but this was at a dollar store, so I'm sure someone sells a set the right size somewhere. If someone wants to bend a couple, cut it, and file down the tips I could see it working.

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I posted I do not own one but would use one because as of now I use bamboo skewers and sometimes the split wrappers because thier are probably thicker than a draw tool

My favorite is the ashtray, followed by the lighting of another cigar.

Is this a MASH reference?

If so, very funny. If not, I will slowly back out of the room!

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

That's funny that a few of you mentioned the worm threader. I thought of that also. I make my own bass lures so currently I am using a .051 Buzzbait wire to poke mine.

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I think I smell a worm threader group buy coming. :ss Maybe CA customized worm threaders. SSWwwwweeeettttt!

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I work by a BassProShop... I am going to pick up the worm threader and give it a try...

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

Now we can't have a draw poker thread with out adding the one from the long gone Petroglyph Design. Here is a pic of mine.

It's hard to see, but the pointed end is serrated(sp?) and helps keep the hole from closing back up.

The hanger trick usually works for me.:pi

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

I have a set of Henry's Draw Tools, and they've saved some otherwise unsmokeable sticks.

Re: Cigar draw tools?
 

Paper clip, but worm threader sounds like a better solution!
