Question Best nubbing technique
Right now I stick a jeweler's screwdriver through mine. Haven't owned a roach clip since college.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Are there better ways to nub?

Inquiring noobs want to know.

Re: Best nubbing technique
I have an old pair of tweezers that I spread apart, stick the stogie nub in, and then release; enough inward pressure exists to hold nub in place fairly securely. Only had a couple of sticks so far that were good enough to the very end to warrant this solution.

Of course, I assume you are talking about a cigar nub, right??

Re: Best nubbing technique
So this one time I was smoking a Rock Patel down to the nub and I didn't really want to let it go too soon so I stuck the nub in my pipe, it actually worked pretty well. Proably looked pretty stupid though.

I usually smoke 'em to the point where I'm carefully squeezing flaming paper between my thumbnail and forefinger. I also recently shaved because I lit my moustache on fire.

Re: Best nubbing technique
Usually after I burn my fingers 2 or 3 times I make myself pitch it. It's called self-discipline or so I've heard. Well, maybe 4 or 5 times....................6 or 7 times...................

Re: Best nubbing technique
Whatever is handy. I can usually find a stick from an old corn dog rolling around on the floor of my truck.

Re: Best nubbing technique
As soon as my fingers are burning.

When they are burning it is time to let go.

Now that is what I do as well. Makes me laugh while trying to smoke it because it reminds of of hitting one of those funny cigs; not that I know about that.

If it's a great cigar, Anejo, I will smoke until it hurts.
