Had a quick question. When I nub a cigar I typically utilize the services of a toothpick but was looking to upgrade. On many fellow BOTLs pics I see a screw w/ like a spring on it. I was wondering what this was and where these could be located? Thanks in advance!

I think Ron at Cigar Solutions has a nub tool.

I think he means something like the one you had in your review of the Flying Pig:

That is the corncob holder. I have the same one and they work perfectly. Found at your local grocer.

I use a surgical hemostat.

You can buy them pretty cheap.

Or, if you know a doctor or a dentist, they usually can supply you a used one.

chopsticks like in my thread here... http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7808

My most effective nub tool has been a fondue fork. Took a WOAM down to just about nothing and only quit when it was starting to burn my lips to try and smoke it any further...

Definitely don't need to drop a bunch of money on a nub tool.

i use an icepick
[Reply]

Thats the one! :-)

Thanks for the help guys. Going to check all the nub tools out. I really appreciate it! :-)

Found several of those in one of Marie's kitchen drawers...actually it was more like a cocktail fork with two prongs...two prongs keeps the nub from spinning around like when it's in a single prong...
[Reply]

I am very fond of my toothpicks!! :-)
[Reply]

The question is what else do you smoke with that?
[Reply]

You can also try using corn huskers which you can get for like a dollar
