Has Anyone Used a Cigar Piercer?

[Lynn]

Last night I used a cigar piercer for the first time. I wasn't expecting to like it, but WOW! I am in love. Has anyone else tried one of these? What did you think?

now you might smile when you see my corn cob holder punch...but I dont like to clean something ifin I dont have to

[Lynn]

Looks a little like a pipe nail

I haven't used one of those. Have you ever used a belt sander?

now that I have done...also the disc sander...bandsaw...

[Lynn]

Yes, yes it would be good for that. But I use punches (or now Piercers) for long filler sticks too, because I HATE the feel of the filler tobacco poking at my tongue (weird quirk I guess).

Im the same slimy snakes...cant you at least dry that filler correctly before you rap it for that price....

Surely some of the big names have long ago solved this problem. Since they have machines, or at least claim to have them,
that are used to test the draw on every cigar before it is boxed/ banded for shipment from the factory.
Maybe some one here on Cigar Bum has insider knowledge on the subject.
Now this is merely speculation, but...searching for detailed information on the device
used to extract, i.e. suck the excess moisture from cigars likely will yield the desired results fastest
if we search for this using the most likely name of the device, which has to be the "Cigar Monica."
