The Superior Roach Clip

We were hanging out at Aficionado's talking about all things to do with enjoying our favorite cigars. After spending an exhausting day at the office, filling out requisitions and typing our fingers to the bone we like to settle down and burn one. Then our moment of satisfaction must come to an end. We have all been there and we have all tested methods for savoring that last half inch of cigar.

Comparing notes, some of us have used toothpicks, stainless steel ringed finishing nails, forceps, needle nose pliers etc. 

Each method has it's pros and cons. The toothpick, for instance will produce generous hints of burning wood and charcoal when you near the end. To be honest, it requires skill to use a toothpick because if you push the envelope, you will end up with a roach in your lap. I confess to doing it. 

The ring nail has the advantage of holding up to the heat but has the disadvantage of not having enough friction to keep longer butts extended out straight. 

The forceps solve both of the above issues but has the disadvantage of size, and the same goes for the pliers. 

While hanging out in NY the other week, I stumbled on the ultimate devise. The corn on the cob holder. 

The double SS prong solves the heat and stability issues and it's light weight and compactness make it the best tool for the job.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to market this new and novel invention to the cigar community.
