I asked about cigar grips here on the forum and I asked a few manufacturers ..xeno and crelant ..Both of which scratched their heads and their tails half not knowing what I was asking and the other half not caring ..Solarforce wanted 5$ a piece ..
figured I'd make my own
So at least i offer the idea to anyone else who decides to try a
do -it -yourself cigar grip .
I found some big black hard rubber stoppers for beakers or bottles or drains ?? who knows what ..At SEARS of all places .
with a single edged razor blade and exacto knife a hole saw ?files and sand paper I assume i'll have multiple cigar grips rings in various shapes and sizes .
I've made a few out of various materials already but so far this looks like what I needed all along
Rubber Stoppers
So far i've used rubber bands ,womens hair ties ,super high density foam? ,gromets and now something that more closely resembles the real thing....we will see . :)
I did a search for foam rubber tube, rubber tube and silicone tube etc and come up with a few good ones but nothing with the angle if thats what you are after.
I think he chose them because that’s pretty much the only way they come. They are basically solid rubber corks for plugging pipes and such. That’s a pretty good idea, Boaz. Looking forward to the final product.
What about the rubber tips for canes and walkers? Too big of an ID? They have different shapes and sizes pretty readily available in most any drug store.
