Cigar pipe

Derek

Has anyone tried a cigar pipe? Thoughts? (this should be interesting)

Nope, but I've been tempted by meerschaum cigar holders. I once thought it would be a way to share a great cigar (where you'd pass the cigar around and everyone used a holder).

Also briar cigars which are pipes shaped like a cigar but take pipe tobacco are interesting.

I think we need to recruit woodworker with a lathe to the forum

I guess my question is "Why?".

My Wife will go to an ice cream shop and get a scoop in a cup instead of a cone.

More like the people who go to an ice cream shoppe and get a hot dog.

But you can't hold ice cream in your hand - at least you'd be dumb if you did - like you can hold a cigar with your fingers. What's the advantage of sticking a stick in a piece of wood and then holding the wood?

One use case was already given.

My other thought was, you can smoke a cigar down to nothing and still hold it comfortably. Maybe even providing insulation from some of the heat? I really don't know what the benefits are, but I'm hear to get opinions from those that have used it.

Yakster

Then there's this.

And there's this...

I'm not trying to discourage you @Derek or tell you how to do you, just being me.

I'm not discouraged. I think my question honestly was the same as yours : why?

The difference may be I'm a sl*t for accessories and I really want someone to talk me into buying one 😁

You might want to look for a set of the holders with varying sizes so that you can accommodate more cigar sizes.

Itsfine

That's called "cigarbage"

Nice patina on that nubber, @peter4jc!

It looks like they taper for that reason

So I don’t know much about wood for pipes but is cocobolo typically used? I have considered using this in woodworking but was discouraged due to it’s known toxicity/respiratory irritant... any one have experience with this ?

ShawnOL

Cocobolo is beautiful.

Itsfine

But will it kill you?

Eventually, all beautiful things do

MrShrek

I mean if ya can't stand the heat like @VegasFrank

Itsfine

Can I put my culebra in it @MrShrek?

RobbyCruz

Can I put the femur prerelease in it?

Yakster

This is a good reference on wood allergies and toxicity

I wonder how well it burns past the rim

Yakster

Frank, you would waste so much unsmoked cigars if you had one of these instead of a nubber. I've seen you smoke it down to nothing but ash as the final flecks of wrapper burn away.

Just don’t tense up......

We had a member here who used a pipe to nub his cigars down to nothing. He also advocated saving the end cuts & making pipe tobacco from the mixture.

Yakster

I've done that but prefer using a nubber.

I believe that was @pilgrimtex .

I tried it. Bleah!

Better to turn that apple around.

That was fast. What do you think?

Yakster

That was a photo example from Instagram to show how ridiculous it is. Compare it to a nubber and just bare hands.
