The only way to finish a cigar. A cigar punch, a draw tool and a nubber, forged from surgical stainless steel and made in America. Number one worldwide, and the only cigar tool made in America. Often imitated. Never duplicated.
Nobody paid for their opinion. The biggest names in cigars on YouTube and Rumble put The Cigar Bar through its paces on camera and over a million people watched them do it. Here are two of them.
The official film
Three tools. One bar. Zero burnt fingers.
Surgical stainless steel. Corrosion-resistant. It doesn’t leach metals into your smoke, and it doesn’t bend when you need it most.
Made in the United States by a small business. The tool, the bags it ships in, the people who pack it. Put America first.
A portion of every sale goes to disabled veterans. Smoke one for the people who earned it.
Them versus us
Scroll the cigar aisle on Amazon and you will find the same thing over and over: cheap tools made in China from mystery metals and flaking coatings, and you put them right up against the cigar you smoke. That is unhealthy and dangerous. Here is how they stack up.
| The Cigar Bar | Typical cheap cigar tool | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it’s made | United States. The only cigar tool made in America. | Made in China |
| Material | Forged surgical stainless steel | Mystery metal from China: aluminum, plated pot metal or bent wire |
| Heat | Good to 870°F | Gets hot fast, bends, discolors |
| What it does | Punch, draw tool and nubber in one | Usually one job |
| Carrying it | Pocket-sized. Rides on your keychain and you forget it’s there | Bulky torch combos and clunky holders |
| Safety | Won’t leach metals into your smoke | Unhealthy and dangerous. Cheap coatings and unknown metals that can flake and chip off into your smoke |
| How long it lasts | Years and years. Probably longer than you | Until the next time you drop it |
| Gives back | A portion of sales goes to disabled veterans | Not that we know of |
The founder
Dan DeCristoforo closed his first deal at nine years old. He has been closing ever since: five companies and counting, private clubs in New York and Providence and a passport that has never once been allowed to rest in a drawer.
He has eaten katsu on a bullet train out of Tokyo, worn black tie from London to Philadelphia and missed a Burgundy pheasant in two languages. He wrote the book on meatballs, literally, and called it You Have No Balls. He runs a sporting clays course like he owns the leaderboard. And through all of it, one thing kept happening: he kept picking cigars so good he refused to put them down. So the cigars kept biting back.
“Enough already with cheap cigar tools. It has to be big league.”
He went shopping for a solution and found glorified bobby pins and a modified corn-cob holder. Unacceptable. So he called a friend who runs one of the largest manufacturing plants on the East Coast, and three years of prototypes later, The Cigar Bar was born. Surgical steel. Timeless. Built to outlive the man carrying it, his grandchildren and possibly the humidor.

It's made in the USA and engineered to perfection! This is one solid piece of high quality steel. There is no doubt this is top quality. I put it in my cigar case and use it daily! The knurling has been done very well and the grip is on point. All the guys at my cigar club have bought one and they only wish it came out earlier. My hat is off to The Cigar Bar.
You’re already paying for and enjoying some fine cigars. So why wouldn’t you spend a little more for a well machined, US made piece? Not only does it allow you to smoke until the very end without burning your fingers, it’s also great for sitting in the pool. Wet hands no longer touch the cigar. This thing makes the perfect draw hole, too. Buy it, you’ll like it.
This is the perfect nubbing companion for the seasoned cigar smoker! Has a great feel with the knurling, perfect length, and has some weight to it which helps with balance as well as knowing I did not buy a cheap Chinese product. It also doubles as a punch or reamer to clear the airway on some of my more tightly rolled Cubanos! Love this thing!
Cigars are so expensive these days, why not get every puff from your favorite stick. The Cigar Bar is the perfect tool to smoke your stick all the way to the end. Quality design and tooling. If you love cigars like me, get this tool.
It works great. It is heavy duty. Nice grip and it does not spin. Buy it if you nub your cigars. Great tool if you want to get every puff you can. The quality is excellent. What else can I say? It works.
This little device does exactly what you expect it to do. Easy to use, holds the cigar right up to the point where you need to let it go. I carry mine all the time.
