I turned green after all the reviews and bought me one, then bought another for a family member who it turned out to be to lazy to even open it so I sold it last night to Tony, along with the electric roller for
WLT's todays price. It was worth it as he has purchased every last hand of oriental[bursa and ottoman I grew last year.] It was a pleasure meeting him.
Here is a poor man's tuck cutter. I was on the sun porch ribbing leaf. The butt of my cigar was getting soggy. It was handy so I used it to cut off a soggy inch. Worked slick so I took it inside and tried it on a couple of dry ones. Works just fine. For under $10 you can't beat it.

A wicked little tool can be used for nipping many things. Don't let your wife see it!

40 YEARS! OH Lord that is a long time just can't imagine ya must be walkin around with a limp. I know now why I quit drinkin now. I got a tool looks like that but is bigger tried to sell it but nobody would buy it, tried to give it away an nobody would take it. So I buried it out back with the other treasures the wife should not see. Marked the spot with a simple piece of wood it reads, Here lies TOOL was good for many things 8/22/1956 - 8/29/1956

Found this cake making tool today..ready make chaveta..they're stainless steel so they probably wont keep a very good edge on them. ..also these craft snips come in real handy for cigar triming and cutting pig tail etc. I find myself using them for everything
If you would, please do me a favor. Touch a non critical edge of the chaveta with a metal file and let me know how hard you think it is. Some of the cutlery grade stainless's are pretty hard. Good find. What are it's dimensions? Where did you buy it?

A quickie filler compresser for hand rolled cigars. It presses more uniform than by hand and makes it easy to manipulate and compress for uniformity prior to rolling immediately by having binder and wrapper ready to go. The hardest part for me in hand rolling is bunching the filler[It realy helps to have all fillers in proper case no matter how you do it.] This compessed bunching seems to hold together well during the rolling.

Nice. Do you roll it with the binder in it or do you do that by hand?
That's cool as a tater gun. Where do you get that nice leather?
