The Cigar Accessories I Use

[JohnS]

This thread is inspired by the team at Halfwheel posting up the accessories they use regularly when smoking a cigar. Brooks Whittington, Patrick Lagreid and Charlie Minato all had different accessories, but on the whole, there were some run-of-the-mill stuff there, especially when it came to storage.

For further reference, in regard to what members have used in the past on our forum, you can access the threads below...

So what do you use on a regular basis when you smoke a cigar? Is it a run-of-the-mill solution, or do you use high-end gear? Post up your pics, or if you don't have them, your replies will suffice!

I'll get the ball rolling...

Cutter: Habanos S.A gift cutter

Yes, even though I cherish my Xikar XO cutter and my Colibri V-Cutter (as well as my Credo 3-in-1 Punch Cutter), this is the cigar cutter I regularly use. It was gifted to me by @Fuzz AI after a trip to Cuban in 2016. It's cheap, but the reason I think it's still going is because the blades were crafted by Solingen Knives from Germany.

Lighter: Firebird Single Flame Torch Lighter

Another economical product here. I've used this so long that the plastic has has fallen off. I have other better lighters of course, and I used to have a FoH jet lighter (or two) in the past, but this does the job, especially on touch-ups.

Humidor: Plastic EzyStorage 160 L Container + Bovedas

Trust me, this is all I need for my boxes. I have a cool, dark place downstairs and so the temperature and relative humidity is quite stable year round.

Ashtray: 1960s/70s Vintage Retro Glass Ashtray

Again, I have better ashtrays (including a FoH one, of course), but this does the job on a regular basis. I broke one of these ages ago, and my wife asked me to replace it, so I did via eBay. It reminded her of all the Europeans that migrated to Australia in the 1960s and 70s who had similar items in their homes when she was a kid.

Bonus Accesory: FoH Cigar Stand

Where would I be without this? The patina that has developed over the years is now priceless. My son borrowed it for a week recently and I had to use my backup FoH Cigar Stand. It felt weird as it was so clean and shiny!

Really enjoying the Sisuman gear for cutter & lighter at the moment. Been through many, many lighters and cutters as I know a lot have. My other favourite is a St dupont mini flat flame lighter - perfect for touch ups! A gift from my very good friend Miner.

I prefer a simple single cigar procelain stand as pictured. I also have a stinky for company. I don't go too crazy with accessories as pretty hard on my stuff (i.e. clumsily drop things) and don't see the ROI as opposed to say wine glassware which I think makes a huge difference.

Humidor wise I have a couple of unplugged vintec wine fridges with 320g boveda packs (love Boveda!). A few carry cases I use as dryboxes or for herfs.

Recently picked up a grey-blue Sotelo which looks amazing but haven't used it yet.

Bonus accessory would have to be perfec draw and vegetable glue.
