The Cigar Spike
As many, if not all of my readers know, I am active on Twitter. As luck would have it, so is Bryan at Cigar Spike. I started talking to him about his product, and lo and behold, he offered to send me a few for review. So, without further ado, here is my review for my loyal readers.
The first thing I noticed about this was that its some sort of plastic. Before receiving it, and looking at the pictures, I expected it to be some sort of metal. Nothing wrong with plastic, it just threw me off a bit, because I was expecting metal for some reason. I put the Cigar Spike onto my key chain, and went to work, knowing that at lunch, I’d get the chance to test this thing out.
Lunchtime came around, and I quickly walked outside to the truck, and grabbed a cigar. Now, this tool is straightforward, and easy to use. I simply stuck the head of the cigar into my mouth, to get the leaf a little wet before spiking it. I gently pushed the spike into the end of the cigar, and it worked well, with one problem. I pushed too hard, and heard a nice *CRACK* sound. It did manage to split the head of the cigar a little bit, but did not mend it unsmokeable.
Even with the small crack, as I smoked the cigar, I noticed that the smoke was coming to me in full mouthfuls, but a lot cooler than when I use my Palio to cut the cigar. Another thing I noticed with the use of this particular tool, is that I was getting a little bit of tar buildup at the head. Not too big of a deal, but not something I am used to with a good old fashioned cut.
Overall, with a little practice, the Cigar Spike can be a very useful tool, that will yield mouthfuls of cool smoke. Its a nice, light item to keep on a key chain, and contrary to my first impression, I have yet to stab myself in the leg with it. I can’t see this replacing my trusty Palio for every day use, but for a change of pace once in a while, the Cigar Spike definitely has its place. At a price of $2.99 for 3 of them shipped, they are certainly affordable. You can check out more info on the Cigar Spike at www.Cigarspike.com.
