My humble Cigar accessories collection

[Sid.Stavros]

I was a cigar smoker in 90's and beginning of 2000's and then i turned to smoking pipes. Lately i started smoking Cigarillos and then Cigars.
here is my humble collection of cigar accessories, i already ordered a cigar punch and a new stand is on schedule.

Now in Cafe i have in my shoulder bag:
A small leather case with 2 lighters, a guillotine cigar cutter (i am waiting for a Punch cutter), a ceramic cigar stand, a cigar tube (i have ordered another one and already have a leather case for 2 cigars), matches and soon i will add a small screwdriver for my Zippo flame adjustment.

Back in 90's and beginning of 00's in the Cafe 9for cigar smoking) i had only a Zippo (with fluid) and a small knife, to cutter no torch lighter no stand no tube etc and of course no internet Now things have changed and all these accessories make our life easier.

That is an impressive collection. Do you try to rotate through all of them? Are any of them locally made?

Thank you sir. The majority of them it's from Greek briar (Greece was providing briar all over the world with 3 major providers) and some of them are Greek-made. Most of them are non ''stock'' but modified by me and this add cost plus more sentimental value.
I have smoked all of them but mostly those for Vanilla tobacco because i smoke in the Cafe and i don't want to have negative reactions from other customers while smoking for example Latakia.

That's interesting to know about Greek briar. I have not gotten into pipes much, but do have a few and a good selection of pipe tobacco. The pipe tobacco I have had is quite different from cigars with the most noticeable difference being the robustness, body and flavors when comparing to cigar tobacco. I didn't think they two would be so different, but from what I've experienced, they're both quite different.

I've never been to Greece, though I have always wanted to visit. I hoped to visit while in the Navy but it never happened, and only pulled into England, Spain, France and Italy while in the Mediterranean. I was on a carrier and I don't know if Greece is a major recent port stop for or those ships. Senior guys I served with had stopped there previously (before I joined) and always had a great time. Though we are planning a European vacation, hopefully for next summer, so maybe we'll end up visiting.

I do love Greek food. We have a few Greek friends whose church hosts a Greek Festival every summer , and we always go. Their sons (friends of my oldest son) perform a traditional dance so we go to watch, support and eat a lot of food. Always a great time.

To Bring Back Briar - A Trip to Greece

Back in the good old days A.Zavvos was providing briar even to Dunhill (England-Denmark-Germany etc have no briar), also another world provider was Amadeus.
The term ''Philoxenia" means ''friendly with a Ksenos'' (a man from different place), we are always friendly and kindly if you show respect to our religion, flag and ethics. We will help you no matter who you are and we will show tolerance but if you show us a ''bravado'' attitude-get drunk-start braking things and slander us then no one will show pity on you.
The saddest thing is that we don't have politicians to ''educate'' the other countries or correct them if they say something wrong about us, there is no Patriotic policy so any moron can start to defame us or spread lies about our history and no one answer to him. This attitude after some decades turns back to us, people are thinking that we are sitting all day, we drink Ouzo and dance, taking unemployment benefits etc and any one can print a book with accusations or say that Greeks are from albania or skopje or there is no ancient Greek language and there is no answer from the Greek state.
You know very well that if you say something similar about Israel then the whole world (even the UN secretary) will turn against you.

As for the topic, i have ordered another metal tube for single cigar, fancy look but i did it in purpose, when arrives i will explain why i choose these colours.
I have a small ''tupperdor'' with 5 cigars inside, unfortunately i have too many pipes and tobacco tins so i can not make a ''collection'' of cigars at that time.
