Has Anyone Used a Cigar Piercer?

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?

This reminds me of the ill-fated Cigar Shuriken, at least in concept. This appears to be much more practical and usable though.

As others have stated, I'm interested in where you pick these up... always like trying new things

My thought exactly.

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

In fact I have My dad does some hard core carpentry for "fun" so I grew up playing with power tools.

But this piercer blew my mind. I thought the draw would be tough because of the super small holes, but it was perfect. Plus it left more surface area on the cap for me to put my tongue (because I am weird and that is how I smoke, with my tongue on the cap).

I've come to believe that the Rh of a cigar is much more important when it comes to getting a decent draw than the cut/punch method used

You are definitely correct on that Tobias. As is the bunching technique used to roll the cigar. But I have had some cigars with a tight draw that got better (not great, but better) by using a straight cut over my punch.

I have used both. The pierce cutter for sticks that I tend to enjoy the wrapper a little more and the belt sander for those where I want the smoother finisher and the wrapper isnt exactly to my taste till its on fire.
