To screw or not to screw ?

[El Whedo]

I use time tested bum technology: a toothpick.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have also used the cover on a torch lighter too. Twas a wide single torch xikar lighter that has been d.c. But the cover is 1.5" wide with a decent spring to hold tension in the "closed" position.

When using a knife I will sometimes stab into the nub. Tother times I will close the blade onto the stogie and thusly hold it between the blade and the body of the knife.

I usually just use the poker of my pipe tool.

Well I wanted to report back that I have upgraded and retired my screw.
Wife dragged me to a trinket show and I came across a wood guy - made primarily wood pens and pencils but had a few other things.
I picked up something he called a woman's helper, which was an alligator (err roach) clip on a wooden stem and he immediately tells me whatever I want to use it for once I purchase it is ok with him but it is designed to assist in getting on bracelets..... thanks dude
I was explaining how I was looking for a nub tool when he says he thinks he has something that may work


It's actually something called a seam ripper and it has 2 sizes - one is shown out here and the other is turned in for storage. It works great, looks alot better than a large screw and the cigars don't spin at all. His wife did not look happy when she was told on the intended use, but took the money just the same. Would have never thought of it but figured I'd share and once again thank you all for the ideas.
