Do you use a cigar poker?

[Black Dog]

cvm4 started a thread on this on the other bb and it got me thinking. Before reading that thread whenever I had 'gar with a tight draw I either dealt with it or tossed it. Since then I've had two plugged cigars with a draw so tight you could barely get any smoke out of it. The first one happened to be while I was in my gargae a couple of nights ago. A Stanley scratch awl from my workbench fixed the problem. The second was away from home and I got so frustrated I just threw it away.
The only ones I see advertised are the high end ones.
Do you folks ever find need for a poker and if so what do you use?

I haven't had to use one yet (of course now that I say this i'm screwed I'm sure), however I do have plans to order one from that place N2 got his. I just haven't decided what band to get on it...hehehe. 8)

I've heard you can use a wooden skewer if you're stuck and really need something laying around the house...but again, haven't had to try that first hand as of yet.

Jerry (jck) has the Petroglyph designs poker. Very cool. I use a 1/16" stainless welding rod with a wine cork on the end. :lol:

Ditto. Wellm minus the cork. I formed a handle on mine, so it looks like a " T " .

It works well.

I generally dont mess with cigar's that are smoking poor... I refuse to spend my smoking time in a pissy mood, it's really not that big of deal to chuck one, I have more.

I will give it one last chance to come alive with a little prompting from a bamboo skewer. You can get a ton of these for a buck or two at the grocery store. If the skewer works, great. If not get a new one, great.

Either way, I'm enjoying a cigar 8)

Jerry - If you have some bands that you don't mind parting with (after you smoke some, of course), would you mind sending me a couple for when I order my poker? [-o<

Sweet....I have a band. Now what do I do???

I'm sure I'll run into this problem at some point, but as of yet I've never had to deal with it. :smt102

Here is the JCK poker

The wood is an exotic called Wenge (pronounced when-gay :lol: ). Very cool looking and I haven't seen anyone else with it, that's why I picked it - unusual (in a good way), like Jerry :smt023 I think the grain is awesome!

Sweeeet :smt007

I bought a cigar poker because there were occassions that I needed one and didn't have one.
I have not had a plugged gar since I bought the thing!
What a wise purchase. 8) I suggest you all get one! :D

[Mali]

Those things are a beautiful work of art. I envy all of you that have the means to purchase one. 8)
