    Do you collect cigar related trinkets? Is there a market for Nubbers/Draw tools?

    I've been browsing around for a bit since returning, and am interested in perhaps venturing into the hand made accessory realm. I tend to be drawn towards items related to my interests. With cigars, I am rather fond of cutters and lighters and cases and such. One thing I'm sure everyone has seen in one form or another is the draw tool/nubber. There are all types of versions out there to be had, a lot of them just plain pick styles. There are a number of hand made options as well, but when browsing those I see that a lot of overly bejeweled designs that may not suit all interested customers.

    My question, to those of you like me who tend to enjoy collecting the accessories that go with the cigars we enjoy. Do you think there is room in the market for another entry? Something that blends the lines between "too flashy" and trying too hard to be "too different?" I've seen some of the price points of some of the items in the market also, and think it can be better. Would you be willing to spend $10, $20, $30 on a limited edition, or even custom cigar nub/draw tool that was laid out to fit your tastes and style? What do you think the ultra premium price point would be? What would you NOT be willing to spend? Would you not spend anything on something like this?

    Open to any and all discussions here, either as a reply or via PM. I am not trying to advertise, at this point. Simply floating the idea around and seeing if maybe there is enough interest to warrant the thought of making them. I did take one picture of one I threw together in a minute or two, though it's all loose so it isn't an actual "product." Just a template or idea of sorts.

    It isn't a great picture, but if it does spark some interest in you..so that I can gauge and feel where things may lay. What would you pay for the pictured item? Or something of similar make, but different design?

    Thanks for any feedback, here or via messages.

    And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping, the moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
    As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own and a million light reflections pass over me.
    Its source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting.
