Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cigar Save ItCustomer Review: Not Bad, For the Price! Summary: 4 Stars
Well, first of all, I am not a regular cigar smoker. I'm one of those rare-special-occasion-only people. I got this just for transportation purposes. I don't think it's a perfect solution, but for under $10, I think it's worth the money. Especially for how infrequently I use the thing.
The main shaft of the tube is a pretty sturdy metal, as is the bottom screw cap. Unfortunately (and for reasons unknown) the entire top portion is plastic, including the flip cap and the section that elongates. The only metal part in the top section is the pocket clip. It boggles the mind, frankly -- had the entire tube been metal, this would have gone from "worth the money" to a 5-star "Fanstastic Deal of Incredible Awesomeness" (or similar variant).
Now, I haven't used the thing to actually snuff a lit cigar. I'm pretty sure it would be fine, but the fact that the top section is plastic (which could melt) bothers me. Now, the description states:
"Inside this attractive tube there is a cigar snuffer that extinguishes your cigars immediately and keeps it safe until you are ready to finish it."
Cigar snuffer inside the tube? I'm not sure what they're referring to, but it's a hollow tube. There's nothing in it. I guess "cigar snuffer" is media-speak for "a lit cigar in an enclosed tube will eventually go out due to lack of oxygen"?
But at any rate, as a single-stick case, it works great. The cap is the weak point here though, because when closed it merely sits on top, and since the hinge is plastic, it has some side-to-side movement that makes it feel like it could break off.
But for its few bad points, it hasn't failed yet. It's likely that it is actually stronger than it feels when you hold it.
All in all, it does what I wanted it to, and it does it for a reasonable price. I think as long as you know you're not getting something that's metal all the way through, you won't be disappointed.
