No caddy needed when you've got a Grip Clip!   ?

Always enjoyed the La Gloria Y Cubana series R when walking, but gauge is not so prone to wind here in Michigan.  Have to be careful though, get to much nic and there is not telling where my tee shot is going.

I have a couple gadgets that I keep in my bag but this is the one I use the most.  Someone gave it to me as a gift and it's pretty convenient.  It's called the "Puff Caddy" and now comes in two models.  One with a spike on the bottom that can be put either in the ground or hole where tees go by the cupholders in a cart and the other (the one I have) has a faux golf ball on the bottom which sits in the dashboard slot where you put your other balls. This is not my picture but rathe from their website, but you get the idea. Note: I will say if any of you do go about getting this thing, go with the black one.  I have the white one and its pretty discolored from the ash/smoke/ember of the cigar.

Hoyo San Juan is my favorite golf cigar. Not too strong and lasts a while. I use the stage 5 clinger to hold them which works great, magnets hold onto the rails on the cart.

Great call on the San Juan!  
 

I have one of these as well but find that they hold the cigar in a little too snug. I’ve always had it crack the wrapper at some point because of how tight the clip is. Love the magnet and premise of it though.  For me, it works better with skinnier RG sticks.

I like the double corona personally when golfing. Can’t go wrong with anything though when playing

Just spread the clamp apart until is the right size.  It’s a little tricky to find the sweet spot but I find it much less damaging than the spring loaded clamp I used before

Funny, the RAG is my golfing cigar.  It lasts for 12 or 13 holes.

I enjoy a front nine RASS, followed by a back nine RASS.

Makes perfect sense but I never wanted to do that in fear of damaging the structural integrity of the clip itself. I'll have to give it a try because I love the concept of them this seems like it'll do the trick. Thank you for sharing!

I prefer not to smoke when playing a competitive round and only very occasionally even when just having a knock with mates. When I do I prefer pyramids for some reason. Choose a cigar that you know burns well and is likely not to need constant attention.

Here is a pic from last month of an HDM Petit Robusto smoking nicely. ?

Sure....blame it on the nicotine ?

I like cheap cigars on the course.  Usually a couple a round. My go too is Rocky Patel vintage seconds. Less than $4 each.

Don't know how many times I've left one and realized it a few hundred yards later....nope, not walking all the way back there unless I just lit it. Or step on it....yeah that happens too ? So cheap it is half of the time for me.

I make these pitch mark repair tools, which also function as a cigar rest. Regrettably, I haven’t used it much lately, as my fairway iron game is in the dumper.  ?

Brian, those are awesome.  I played golf with a guy probably 10 years ago who had something similar but in all steel.  I always thought it was a great idea as I don't like putting my cigar on the grass.  Too many pesticides and chemicals IMO.
