Why, SIR?

My interest in cigars started after the pandemic. The Pup and I attended our first large event with the CLAW L.A. Getaway Weekend and I attended MY first class on cigars and cigar play. Immediately after, I went out and found a cheap cigar with a lighter somewhere downtown. It was a crash course for ME but I took to it like a psychopath to stealing or scheduling a hot yoga/casserole-baking class. I’D quit smoking cigarettes years before and so the movements were familiar, it was the not-inhaling that took some time getting used to. I think after the third harsh breath that I learned, “So…you don’t inhale!” From there, it was the start of a great journey.

Across the years, I started looking for proper cigar gear. A Leather holster for MY smoking gear, humidors, travel cases, and lighters, of course. I learned that butane lighters are best for cigars as they make short work of lighting vice using an open and rolling the cigar around. That might be all well and good for some but SIR is high-strung and wants to start the smokin’ ASAP. I also have a fondness for compact, multiple-tool items. I have a Leatherman tool that I carry with me that has come in handy in SO many instances, from sawing a branch to tightening MY music stand to slicing cheese on the heel of MY boot. I picked up the habit of carrying the Leatherman from MY military days, it was THE tool of choice for the NCO. I can’t say the same for 3-in-1 shower soap combos, I prefer what I put on MY head to be different than what I slather on MY body. I’LL concede to a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combo though but I prefer separate components if held at corncob-point. Call ME crazy if you want but I’ VE never liked store-bought pesto.

When I came across this lighter on Amazon, I was elated and immediately purchased one. It’s a nifty item and includes FIVE (5) tools:

• Cigar lighter with adjustable flame
• Cigar puncher 8mm diameter
• Cigar draw enhancer, 2.8 inch
• Cigar stand, horizonal
• Cigar stand, vertical

What’s In Your Basket, SIR?

Yours In Leather,
