The craftsmanship on these is top notch and they are more heavy duty than I thought, looking at the pictures.
Nubber on one end, draw tool on the other (i put both Modus in the picture to show both ends)
Merry Christmas to me !

Those look nice Tony. Does that single have a little grabber to remove a little Baccy?

Yes, I should have turned it in the pic so it showed better - it looks like 2 dark spots in the pic I posted. There are 2 slits on each side to help remove some bits of loose tobacco to open it up. They start at about 3/4" and go to about 2", alternating sides.
No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

Indeed, these have GOT to have barbs cut into them! The more the merrier. If you can't excavate tobacco from a plugged stick, once the baccy heats up, you're worse off than when you started.
Back in the day, I consulted with one of the original makers of such tools; "Boom". He was making great looking tools at the time, but they lacked the barbs.
It's nice to know one has, in some way, influenced posterity.
Debt is the weapon used to conquer and enslave societies and interest is it's ammunition.
