Henry's Cigar Draw Correction Tools - FREE

Chestbeating Pack Leader
Let me be perfectly honest. We offer limited quantities of Henry's tool sets via an internet auction site (with limited success). My purpose is NOT to sell these tools, but rather, to get some solid feedback from fellow BOTLs on how they work!

Henry (a retired friend) turned me on to these tools about a year ago, when I trashed a cigar that was "unsmokeble" due to tight draw. They're basically just steel "probes" with wooden handles. If the draw is too tight, you work the appropriate tool (based on cigar size) through the head of the stogie, and steer it toward the foot.

I swear by these darned tools! And I've corrected the draw on at least a couple of dozen cigars that I'd have otherwise trashed.

HERE'S THE DEAL:

1. I'd like to send out 4 sets of Henry's tools, free of charge, to fellow BOTLs who have cigars they like, but can't smoke due to tight draw.

2. I'd ask for OBJECTIVE feedback (via email or whatever) on how the tools worked for them.

HERE'S THE QUALIFIER:

The first four BOTLs who give me the name and size of 5 (five) tight-draw cigars they might try the tools on will get the sets.

The tool sets will come to you via USPS Priority Mail, and will include instructions and tips for using Henry's tools.

This is NOT a "joke," guys... It's an honest attempt to get some feedback on what I feel is a valuable device.

Your response will be welcomed!

And all this time I have been using a stainless steel kabob skewer to do this!

VERY generous offer! As I already have an effective tool that works, I will leave these five for thse that need a solution. While mine may not be as glamous or versitable (only one size skewer), I can attest to the fact that cigar pokers are a workable solution to cigars with tight draws! Some of you gorillas better step up soon, or I might be tempted to go high class with my poker and take palm up on this offer!!
 
Sorry, I read further...I will disqualify myself because I have a similar tool made for me by the Justus League!...Great offer though, good luck!
 
Interesting offer. I have more cigars with draw problems then you can shake a stick at and have yet to find a tool that works to alleviate the problem. Here's a list of some:


Montecristo #4 - 5 x 42
Montecristo Especial #2 - 5.9 x 38
Partagas 898 Varnished - 6.6 x 43
Vegas Robania Familiar - 5.5 x 42
Ramone Allones Small Club Corona - 4.3 x 42

I have lots more, don't worry.

PM me for my addy.

The cigars I have that are tight are:

Fonseca Serie F Robusto 5x52
Cuban H Upmann Coronas Major 5 1/8 x 42
Montecristo Double Corona 6 1/4 x 50
Onyx Reserve Robusto 5x50
Don Lino Africa Temba 7 1/2 x 50

STORMIN,

You'll have a set of Henry's tools on the way... We'll take care of the shipping via PM.

Interesting that you have troubles with the 42-and-under rings! That's been MY problem, and PARTICULARLY with the Lonsdales! Henry showed me how to "steer" the tool through the cigar, though I'll admit that I went through a couple of coronas before I got the "hang of it!"

Again, this is NOT a "come-on"... Just looking for feedback from BOTLs on improving the tools.

Will PM you later today.

LET'S GO TIGERS!!!! (Sorry, buddy, but I have to stand fast behind our Last Detroit Hope this year! The Wings screwed up... The Pistons screwed up... We're hoping for something to happen in the ballpark!)


Yes, you "qualify" for Henry's tool set. I'm surprised that the ring-sizes you've described are a problem! Though I must say that the Onyx Reserve has been one that I've had to probe almost each and every time!

We'll take care of shipping via PM (My wife watches me, and is constantly on top of the shipping thing).

Again... All I ask is for HONEST feedback. Are the tools right for the job? Are the lengths right for the job? Is the product of reasonable quality?
 
Tigers pulled out a great game last night! GO TIGERS!! (and Netherlands today at 3)

RJT,

THANKS for the feedback! The Oxford Corona doesn't surprise me (nor do ANY coronas), though the Party Short comes as something as a surprise!!! The robustos (properly aged) are among my favorites in terms of burn and draw... They don't seem to "fight you" in the way that torpedos and churchills do.

This is my LAST free send-out (I went overboard, and promised our Dr. Stogie-Fresh a set, and that puts me to five sets).

We'll handle the shipping via PM, and will look forward to your evaluation!!!

Henry is a weird guy! He gets REALLY pissed when I waste a cigar!
I get really pissed when he get's pissed that I wasted a cigar.

Ahh well... I'll be looking forward to your evaluation and suggestions!!!!

Henry won't.
 
i would love to try one of these if you have any left i have some RP 1992 that are tight along with some RJ sungrown that are hard as well i would further like to try it on the MX2 and CX2 as some of them are hard as well and last but not least the don lino afican trumbo it long and some of them are hard to get going as well thanks in advance alex
 
I got a Thompson's draw poker as an incentive gift but I forgot where I put it. If I get a plugged cigar, I use an aluminum kebab skewer. Works great but you need a steady hand.
 
just out of curiousity, what would seperate this tool from what others are using like the kebob skewers or even a simple ice pick?

not critizing or anything. just trying to understand what serperates this tool from other things people use to get a better draw

Your questions are certainly VALID!

Though I can't find a kebob skewer or ice pick that will fit neatly into my cigar caddy.

Henry's Tools are unique ONLY in that the rod diameter is sized to free up draw without cracking the wrapper. And his "L" handle makes it a bit easier to "steer" the probe through the cigar.

Other than that, no great shakes!!!
 
We mistakes, ALL of us!

We crave the flovor of a fine cigar on a summer evening.

Whether it's your turkey-roaster-pin or your rechargeable drill, ENJOY!!!

I hope to let y'all know in the near future how effective Henry's tool is (that sounds wrong in so many ways!!!)

let me try again....

Hopefully I can soon provide y'all with feedback regarding Henry's poker (that doesn't sound any better either!!!!).

one last time....

I let y'all know if Henry's invention is any good at unplugging cigars. :)
