Cigar Saver Tubes
Are these just a gimmick or are they legit? I want to hear from the community, not what retailers/manufacturers state in their sales pitch.

legit but I find a cigar being relit after much more than 30-60 minutes no matter how you save it to be pretty well shot to hell and not worth the effort to relight, clear, etc.

They're a gimmick As noted, 60 minutes of sitting in it's own stink, probably not going to result in a good cigar on re-light. If you got only an hour, smoke a robusto.

This was a topic of conversation last night during my nightly ritual. I didn't chime in on it, I just listened to everyone argue their points. To me, it just seemed logical that it wasn't legit. In my mind, a lit and pacified cigar is a lit and pacified cigar that has a very short time for relite, regardless of how it is "saved."

I have one, but don't use it very often. When I use it I purge the cigar then let it go out and remove as much ash as possible. As others have said a relit cigar will never be as good as on its initial lighting but as a yard 'gar they aren't too bad.

I was supposed to review one of these, or there's another liquid product I was supposed to review after the IPCPR four or five years ago. I never did do it.
The liquid was supposed to be dropped onto the cleared, lit end of the cigar, and purports to keep the whole thing fresh.
