Cheep and Cheerful Smokin' Accessories:

[PigFish]

I took this pick for another thread which gave me an idea. The practical adoption of household items for cigar usage. I think most of us have used an old cigar box for our crayons! Here are some of my redneck accessories and how I use them. Enjoy!

First is the hillbilly humidor. I take a tall mason jar, add a climatized cedar sheet and there you have a perfect weatherproof carry on humidor! Dump out the cigars and it holds your white liquor (moonshine), a pint of draft if you find yourself at a biker party, or to catch fireflies to impress your toothless 14 year old date/niece!

Bikers have a thing for attaching **** to their belt loops. Yeah... I do it! Maybe when you find yourself face down in a gutter it is better to have your Harley key attached to you so they don't fall out of your pocket when a bum frisks you for change. Maybe your cylinder Harley key feels to much like a 38 special when you need to reload and you don't want it mixed up with the live rounds in your pocket... hell I don't know but here is what I use to make sure that I am ready to smoke at all times. The cheap Chinese faux carabiners come in real handy for dangling and not losing smoking accessories while out on a ride.

Everyone has a favorite ashtray. This is a Harley magnetic parts tray with a bent piece of welding rod to hold my cigar. Yep... one quick dump out the winder cleans it, splash it with some old beer in the cup holder, wipe it out with a few gun cleaning patches and stick it to the outside of the car door for a quick dry... There you have it. Sometimes when my dog is with me she uses it as a dog bowl! And if you forget to remove the cigar holder... it is okay, it is stuck to the tray! Leave it outside on the tailgate... that is okay too. It will be there even when that bag from In and Out Burger has blown out!

I feel like "Q" talking to James Bondo here!

Next is desktop humidor humidifier. Tired of paying for those damn pucks that get moldy? Yeah, me to. This is a stainless spice holder. It is magnetic, cost me about a buck and when you press in some florist foam you get a perfect humidifier and 1/20th the cost. If it gets moldy... you scoop the foam out with a spoon and press inn'a new piece, wet it with distilled H2O and you are back online.

This is a handy cigar box opener and closer. Ever had one of those stubborn nails slide off your thumb and up under your nail? Just a reminder... get your tetanus shot!!! This little guy was made of a scrap of African mahogany and some furniture wax. Just pry it open with the end and push the nail back in with the side when you are done. Never broke one yet, but if you do just toss it or re-sand it to a chisel.

That is it for now Mates! Total cost for all the accessories... about $20 bucks!

Piggy...Where do I get one of those lighters?

I don't know Mate! One of my drunken monkey friends gave me that one. I don't even remember which monkey was responsible. It is a funny lighter though. It has blinking **** and panties... -P
