The recent thread on one's post smoke routine got me thinking. What about the last draw on a the stubby remains of a great cigar? Have you ever tried to hang on with your fingertips to get those last few millimeters? Do you go through momentary withdrawl? Or do you just light up another one?

    I watched sandman attach a paperclip to the end of his Fuente Anejo this past weekend so he could smoke it farther than his fingers would allow. If I were to take a wild guess, he really liked that cigar!

    I've said this before, but I use a corn holder. It's not too classy, but the two spikes keep the stub from revolving around and it doesn't burn like a wooden toothpick. I only do this at home in front of my wife and kids and they already know I'm a little crazy!

    This is what I use. and yes, on an Anejo, it's the only way to smoke it. all the way til the very end. and i think that a Snap On tool is manlier than a pipe, just sayin... :)

    I have one of these. But it's at work and I rarely smoke at work.

    I use a stainless steel surgical forceps which lock closed pinching the end. It has a curved end and is easy to smoke from. I think you can find em in supply stores or medical kits for under $5. hahaha......corn holder

    I was gifted a nubber made by a BOTL on another forum. Basically it is like a corn cob holder but he made it out of wood and it looks way cool.

    I have never gotten a stick down that far... I usually start to ADD out and give up on it...

    I supplied the paperclip...I also keep one in my car for the situations

    I've also been known to put a nub in the end of a shotgun barrel and draw from the other end (not really, but I feel manly now)

    I usually just chew it up till its not warm anymore, then put it in the side of my cheek and let it soak for a bit. Then I spit, call my wife by one of my old girlfriends names, and smack her on the ass.

    I usually let them go out, then break them up and sprinkle them on a salad.

    You all are a bunch of girls. When I'm done with a cigar I eat the nub....while it's still lit.

    Off topic....I've been having really bad heartburn lately, anybody have an idea why?

    My dads needs heart valve replacement and by pass surgery which is very dangerous at his age (77) but we are thinking this will probably be done in 6-8 weeks. Prostate cancer has returned but doc's say heart much bigger concern.
    With work and burning the candle on both ends I have not had time to be on here much or smoke much either. Looking forward to calmer times this summer and some R&R. Will peek in as I have time, was very very glad to see ya back 'bino !!!

    Trying trying times my friend. My wifes dad is at home being tended by my wife and her mom and hospice critical care nurses ( they say anyday now he will pass ) He's in excruciating pain , gets morphine every 1 to 2 hours and is totally out of it. has not eaten anything in 7 days as of today. only liquids are the meds. He is one tuff son of a gun !!!! My wife has not left his bedside for 10 days now and she and her mom have both strained back muscles lifting him !!! Family comes in around the clock every day but they have to work and cant stay more than 6-8 hours at a time. He has one brother who IS staying around the clock to help and has been a godsend.

    Wow, that's a lot to deal with at one time. We went through a similar hospice experience with my grandmother, not all that long ago, so I have some idea what you're talking about.

    The main thing to keep in mind -- and the hardest thing to keep in mind -- is to make sure you take care of yourself. Get your rest. Eat. Get outside and go for a walk every day; even if it's a necessarily short one, you won't believe how big a difference it makes in how you feel. That goes for everybody.

    When you get to that R&R, you'll have well earned it. Hang in there.
