Yeah something maybe a cross from the Aerolus ( sold at cigar mony ) and a knurled draw tool. I was thinking of making something like this at work, are you making some OP?

So far, I've been using the thin poker that is part of a 3-1 czech pipe tool, for the past year or so.

Mine hangs on my keyring, along with a cigar punch and a Nibo lighter purge and flame adjuster, so I always have it. In a pinch, it works as a nub tool too.

BTW, Steve (Fissure) is trying to put together a GB for some drawtools. See this thread: CA Troop Support DrawTool GB

How about a trained tobacco beetle. That would be so COOL!!!!

Just release them into the humidor, have them sniff out the plugged cigars, crawl into the tight spots, eat just the right amount of tobacco to loosen it up and then return to you to be put back in their container with some of Shilala's growing plants and there you have it.....

THE PERFECT "SMART" DRAW TOOL!!!!!!

Some sort of centering would be good, but once you use a draw tool a few times I think you're not very likely to poke a hole through the side of a cigar, at least I haven't after the first few times I used a draw tool (knock on wood).

I actually have one of the old Draw Pokers and took it to a friend of mine who has a metal shop and I told him to take the rod and "knurl" the entire length of the rod except for the tip. The tip is like a fine threaded screw that will not tear open the cigar but rather start a good pilot hole and while you push the rod into the cigar and twist and turn it it takes small pieces of the cigar tobacco and opens up the inside of the cigar much like the tool they use to open the arteries of plaque ridden arteries in the human body. It mimics the process much like an atherectomy and when you slide the rod back from inside the cigar it traps the pieces of tobacco that was plugging the cigar in the tip portion of the rod like a small drill and pulls it back thru the insertion point. The Draw Poker has a guide to keep the rod from poking thru the side of the cigar at any point. I have literally saved at least 50-70 cigars that smoked great after using this tool. I figure at $8 a cigar I have saved myself at least $500 in the last 3 years and that's nothing to sneeze at.

I have one of Troys tools and it works great for some cigars that have issues.

I have improved the tips with flutes cut in them...

Do you sell them?

If you do not remove tobacco from a plugged cigar, the plugged cigar will more than likely stay plugged. Check out PLUGGED CIGAR TOOL on You Tube and E Bay.

Welcome to Cigar Asylum. You might want to post a introduction in the new inmate forum.

Not disclosing you are a vendor is frowned upon here.

I used a meat thermometer once, worked like a charm.

lenguamor · 12-12-2011, 08:50 PM

My Henry's works perfectly. And it's also the perfect nubbing tool!

Arrived 3 days after I ordered it. Great packaging and it looks nice. The best thing is that so far it works. Tried it on an infamous 1999 Punch Churchill

and it allowed me to actually get a draw and smoke it.

Pictures will be forth coming.
