Quick Review
The Perfecto Cigar Holder was made by a company called the ‘Perfecto Cigar Holder.’ Who knew? 🙂
The product was made for cigar smokers who often find themselves in a predicament of placing their cigar down in an otherwise not-so-great spot or setting. Many times we don’t have an ashtray or the right place to rest our cigar as we smoke it, so that’s the idea behind the Perfecto Cigar Holder.
As they say on their website, the Perfecto Cigar Holder is ‘more than just another cigar holder — [it’s] your favorite ashtray on the go!’
First Glance
The Perfecto Cigar Holder is really quite simple when you look at it. It’s made up of a C-clamp attached to a sort of spring-loaded handle. Attached to the top of the C-clamp is a resting place for the cigar but also a U-shaped tube, which is meant for catching the ash of the cigar as well.
The great thing that comes to mind when looking at this contraption is, you could take this anywhere and use it anywhere.
Now, many of you may be thinking, ‘well, I could just hold my cigar or set it down anywhere…why would I use this?’ I appreciate that notion but there were a few things I picked up from using this Perfecto Cigar Holder that may make you think twice.
Function
As you can see from the pictures, you can use this product just about anywhere. All you need is a horizontal surface by which you attach the C-clamp to. The ends of the C-clamps have a great grip (that’s what she said) on them so they immediately attach to anything and hold strong.
I don’t want to say more than it is…it is a cigar holder. However, I also noticed while smoking that it protected my cigar from the wind. A regular ashtray wouldn’t do this because an ashtray is open from all sides without protection.
It does serve as an ashtray as well. The U-shaped tube catches your ash and holds it while your cigar continues to burn.
The picture I didn’t get (because I don’t have the luxury of owning one) was this Perfecto Cigar Holder being used on a boat. That would be perfect (Perfecto?).
The other cool thing is that the U-tube is made of virgin nylon, which won’t melt or burn. Ideal, right?
The company’s Chairman, Mr. Gary Wills, graciously gave us a sample of the Perfecto Cigar Holder. Can’t thank him enough for sending us this to review. I’m sure he will correct me if I’m wrong, but in my mind, the Perfecto Cigar Holder just may be dishwasher safe as well. Even if it isn’t, the U-shaped tube is very easy to clean by running under water and wiping clean with a paper towel.
Conclusion
I had an idea of how this product would function even before I used it. But, I was pleasantly surprised at just how well it worked with my lit cigar, especially with the wind outside.
I would recommend this for any cigar smoker who spends a lot of time outside or smoking in many different places. It sets your cigar up for the perfect burn and the perfect resting place.
