I was wondering what people used to nub their cigars. I'm thinking about going to a medical bookstore and grab some hemostats. My fingers are just too chubby to not get burned as I nub it down and I've had things that were good enough to just let the fingers burn.

Editted to spell check. Only one missed word, woo hoo.
 
I thought there was a nice tool included within Henry's Signature set, but my "google-ness" isn't that great this morning.
 
It is called the "Henry's Classic Cigar Nubber". Can be purchased as part of the Henry Tool Set, as discussed here, or separately.

I was given one of the "NUBBERS" by a most generous BOTL. It is very nice, works great.
 
I also use a toothpick, the trick is to remember to put it in before you really need to use it. If you wait to long it can be really difficult/impossible to get the nub on the toothpick.

I leave a few toothpicks in my Xicar cigar case. :D

Ha HA and to think Souldog laughed at me last Friday night when I offered him a toothpick from my Xicar case

Right on Tug!
 
I take out my pocket knife and jab it in the nub. at that point i know i wont be getting too much time out of it, so it doesnt really require any delicate handling...
 
I admit that I am not a "nubber". I rarely if ever do this. To me even the best cigars get a little on the nasty side with about two inches to go.

So, I have no tools for nubbing.

Cheers

Even though I keep a couple toothpicks on hand I very rarely nub a cigar. About half the time when I nub a cigar its just to see how low I can take it (I will only do this as long as the cigar still tastes good). The other half I find that the cigars last 2-2.5 inches are the tastiest part of the cigar. I probably nub 1 out of every 20 cigars.
