Burnt Fingers

I really have never burned my fingers maybe signed them. I just hate putting a good stick down before it is completely gone. What is the best solution?

    Take a look at the Watcha Smoking threads, @miller65rod usually has a picture of a nubber

    A paper clip, straightened then bent into a U making the ends equal.  Works great, I recommend the large clips.

    +1 on the corn cob holder.  The toothpick tends to let the cigar revolve a little.

    How are your dry begging skills? 
    @Stubble makes them and they feel even better than they look!

    Stubble doesn't respond to dry-begging; if you go that route, you'll never get one.  And, I doubt he'd sell one either.  He's been incredibly generous in gifting them, but it ought to be his idea and don't think we should be volunteering him.


    However, you can find the elk antler tips on ebay, along with 1/16" stainless rod... drill holes, cut rods and put a point on them, insert...  There's more to it than that, but it's not rocket surgery, mostly time-consuming and putzy.  I've made a dozen of them already; gifted most of them, and sold some to BOTLs at my B&M.

    Who ever dry begs on this site? That is preposterous.

    I still want some cookies BTW.

    Hey, I appreciate all the information.  It got me to thinking, for now I have made a make shift nubber out of a paper clip, next I am going to pursue some ideas of making one, just I am usually not all that crafty, however I know few people who are. 
    In fact I really appreciate all the help because now I know I'm not the only one that doesn't want to put a good cigar down.

    I saw a guy at a local cigar bar using what looked like a roach clip for years gone by on steroids.

    I have only had a few cigars that I liked so much that I wanted to smoke them down that far.  Hope to find one that good one of these days.

    I've got a close friend that smokes every stick down to the bitter end, and he usually ends up with some slightly scorched fingers.  I've been trying to find something like that nubber for him.  I think I'll try my hand at making one for him.  He's retired Army, several tours in places he can't talk about, so I'm going to try to find an empty jacket from a 7.62 round and see about welding a couple of little spikes on it for him.

    Ooh, @Guitarded , I wasn't thinking about it like that.

    No, I was thinking more along the lines of @TNBigfoot68 gathering some of his better sticks and finding an address to send them to, then waiting to see what kind of destruction his actions brought.

    I should stay out of these things.

    I believe Stubble posted a picture of his crop of nubbers, right before harvest. Might be the wrong season for them.

    My lame attempt at humor earned me a reminder that volunteering another BOTL is inappropriate. Lesson learned. TY

    It's all good @Guitarded.  I was mainly wanting advice, and humorous discussion of my desperate attempt to get every puff I can. LOL.

    There's a lil' sumpin' heading out today.  Enjoy Paul, and remember you promised to not hit back.  I'll PM a few suggestions as to who might be an appropriate target should you be inclined to pay it forward.
