Boom's handcrafted Draw Tool

Ok, so after thinking this one over and talking with Boom (and the other MODs), I wanted to have a look at one of this guys draw tools. He said he would send me one to check out, and he did.

This is a very nicely crafted draw tool, very solidly made.  the metal skewer doesnt wiggle at all in the wood handle, and the handle itself if very smooth and fits in your hand nicely.  I like the look of the grain in the wood handle as well.  One interesting thing about this tool, is towards the tip of the skewer, there are a few knotches. I am guessing these might be there to help cut through any errant leaves that might be plugging the cigar?

Either way, this tool worked well. I took it to work and tried it out on a fairly plugged cigar, it definitely improved the draw.  I would be a little hesitant to use this one a small ring gauge cigar though, since the draw tool is just a little thick and might made the wrapper crack. Although, if the cigar is plugged enough to need a draw tool, then who cares if you accidentally crack the wrapper, its not like you were going to be able to smoke it without trying something.

So,heres the deal.  Boom made good on his word and sent me this tool to check out, and it is a very nicely made draw tool. He can put these up for trade if he wishes, but i ask one thing of you Boom; please dont just hang around here hoping to trade your tools and tampers, we ask that you contribute to other parts of the forum as well, not just hang around trying to make trades. I think if you hang around for a while, chime in on threads, and just get to know everyone here, your trades will be met with a much more open attitude than they have been so far.

Boom,

One question.

With those notches in the spike, could it have a tendency to "catch" the filler on the way out and possibly drag it back out the hole? It looks like a awesome tool that I wouldn't mind keeping in my cigar drawer. Smiley

Yes the notches will catch small amounts of leaf. Only enough to clear up a plugged stick, if you run it through multiple times it will clear more and more.
