Shunamaji Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Might have to get the perfect draw, when I use the modus they usually plug right back up.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Probably less than 1%. I store mine at 60-61% as well. Try to dry box as much as possible. It helps but some are just overfilled and need a little extra work. The perfect draw has been perfect for that. 3

KavalanWhisky Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Well due to the love shown for the PerfecDraw tool I decided to order one, excited to test it out as I've got a few boxes that have a very tight draw! Not sure if the prices have changed but the PerfecDraw site is currently selling them for $24.99 instead of $39.99 I saw on Amazon.

I don't think the double prong of the Modus is that much more effective if at all more effective than the Perfecdraw as a nubber. The barbed end of the Perfecdraw screws in to a nub tightly and is very solid. I think the Perfecdraw makes the Modus obsolete, particularly since the Modus is generally higher priced. There's also another tool called the Redeemer which is basically a Modus with a few more notches in it and costs $80. I think the Perfecdraw is by far the best tool of its kind and it's very reasonable price is icing on the cake. 1

Great, thanks for the additional review info, I'm really excited to get mine now, with shipping though it could be a few weeks before it arrives to HK. 1
KavalanWhisky Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Well I've had it for a few weeks now and have to say very happy with the results, I had to use it on a RYJ Cazedores, Connie 1, Partagas Presidentes & Lusitania. The only one it didn't fix was the Lusitania but really happy with it and definitely fixes a lot of issues with plugged cigars. My Connie 1's in particular are really bad, basically the whole box has been plugged but since getting this I've smoke a couple with no issues and can enjoy the cigar rather than fighting to keep it lit and getting a decent draw. One question, how to you keep it clean? the Barbs seem to grip on the tobacco really solidly and having to prise out the bits is tricky, what is the easiest method that works for you?
ponfed Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 I too bought a Perfect Draw after reading this thread. A life saver for long thin sticks. It really is wonderful.

I've found the best way to clean out the small bits is to take the band off your cigar and fold it into a square or something close to that. Then you run that folded up band down the spines of the perfect draw several times -- usually works like a charm for me. 1

Blowing on it seams to work fine for me. I am a big advocate of perfecdraw too. With the construction inconsistency in CC's, it sure makes me more comfortable with my purchases. Have a great weekend!
mt1 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Recently got mine, no ragrets. Works great but like mentioned above please be very careful as it's very sharp! 1
Hammer Smokin' Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 the owner/creator is a dental surgeon. he knows how to make a quality product. my friend, who is an engineer, but not a cigar smoker, took one look at the Perfecdraw and said, "that's well made, likely not from China". It is very well made!
BeerPimp Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I will have to grab one. I could have really used one of these back in the day before Onyx renamed their cigars. They were named with numbers and they were very good cigars but consistently had issues with horrible draw. I think the pyramids were numbered 852
BeerPimp Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I just noticed the manufacturers website has them for $15 off.

Hammer Smokin' Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 you are correct. some unfortunate soul received a poor quality, f'ed up tool. Rod immediately rectified the situation. Great guy!

shamz84 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Best cigar accessory out there imo. Pay for it self when you save a cigar or two.Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Winchester21 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Best cigar accessory in a long time. I own 2 myself. Buying this is a no brainer
