Nub holder?
 

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?

Re: Nub holder?
 

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!

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

These are made from aluminum:

Look online for a cigar stub its actually made for holding the nub till it gets too hot to smoke anymore

a little more pricey than the 3 cent drywall screw....but cool

Re: Nub holder?
 

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!

Re: Nub holder?
 

Matches work great! Looks like a tiny hotdog though lol

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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)

Re: Nub holder?
 

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.

Re: Nub holder?
 

Toothpicks work for me

Re: Nub holder?
 

You got any for sale right now?

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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!

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Got it thru a group-buy here, too.

Re: Nub holder?
 

this one is sold by a tampa local. http://stogienubber.com/

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

:tpd:


Good & cheap!


Chris.....

Re: Nub holder?
 

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...

Re: Nub holder?
 

LOL. awesome!

Re: Nub holder?
 

Plus they add that extra woody flavor to the smoke. :D

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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!

Re: Nub holder?
 

There is also these.... Draw tools I make they also work well as a nub tool...

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! :)

Re: Nub holder?
 

skewers work pretty good too

Re: Nub holder?
 

"Nubbing cigaaaaaarss", how GAUCHE. :)

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

that's awesome

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

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!

Re: Nub holder?
 

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.

Re: Nub holder?
 

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. ;)

Re: Nub holder?
 

Just what every man needs. A nice relaxing cigar paired with a huge can of Monster. :r

;s

Re: Nub holder?
 

And a knife!

Re: Nub holder?
 

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

Re: Nub holder?
 

Actually, just a can and a pocketknife, or an apple and a pocketknife of a...
