Cigar draw tools?

12-30-2008, 02:12 AM

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.
