| TOP TEN CIGAR GADGETS Here are our recommendations of the best in the odd, the useful and the ultimately fun cigar gadgets for the smoker and those who want to show their appreciation! Ask your tobacconist to order you one of each!
| 1 | Mollino ashtray | $100.00 | Stunning Italian design for a chromed-steel ashtray sheathed in perfect Italian leather in cream, red (the best!) or black. A must have. | | 2 | Thompson box opener | $19.95 | Heavy serrated and smooth knife for opening boxes with notches for handling box nails. Useful and virtually indestructible. | | 3 | Cigar Savor tube | $25.00 | The original and still excellent: use it to store your cigar if you have to put it away before finished. Well made and will last forever. | | 4 | Humidipak Humidor Bag | $4.95-14.95 | Two-way humidity control in a thin bag which can be inserted into any box of cigars, or your humidor for six months at a time. Astonishingly effective. | | 5 | Perfecto XLT Cigar Case Humidor | $25.00 | Here’s a travel humidor you don’t have to worry about scratching. It’s made of high-impact ABS plastic, holds 8 cigars in cedar cradles and has a built-in humidifier. Perfect! | | 6 | El Torcedor cigar repair kit | $5.00 | Only Credo could offer this: a 5 ml bottle of actual vegetal glue as used by rollers to seal their cigars, but with a fine applicator. It’s just the thing to reattach wild wrappers. | | 7 | Zippo Multi-Purpose Lighter | $14.95-19.95 | Made originally for barbecues, it’s a showy longlight with a refillable butane tank. Comes in black ($14.95) or chrome ($19.95). | | 8 | Abbey cigar rest | $1.00 | This is a tiny plastic cigar guide with a small ashtray underneath. A sure conversation starter, it’s a winner at $1 each in clear, amber, blue or purple. | | 9 | Drawpoker | $19.95 | Offered by Thompson Cigar Co., it’s still the best for opening a passage in a plugged cigar. A friend that should be next to every humidor. | | 10 | Gargoyle ceramic bobblehead | $14.95 | High-quality bobblehead lets you decorate your cigar corner with an 8-inch Cigar Store Indian or Punch without having a 300-pound, 7-foot sculpture in your living room. |
