Are you a Supervillain or an Instagram model? No? Then stop giving your cigar friends this glass.

There are plenty of articles on cool cigar accessories, such as lighters, cutters, and humidors. These items can enhance or, at the very least, contribute to your cigar-smoking endeavors.

This cigar glass is NOT one of them. 

Let me back up for a minute.

I’m sure someone had a need at some point.

Much like the Luxury Protective Bibs, the ‘need’ was probably so specific that the project or invention did not need to go any further.

I like to think that some cigar smoker was sitting there, enjoying a cigar in one hand and a drink in the other…

…Then tragedy struck.

They needed a THIRD hand for an emergency. I don’t know what that emergency was.

Maybe a baby was falling off a countertop, a plate of chicken wings was being dropped off a server tray, or Shakira was trying to hand over her phone number.

*Full disclosure: That last one might have been my hope.

In any case…

There was an emergency, and choices had to be made. Cigar, drink, or the baby.

But wait. Only if there was a glass that could hold your cigar (kind of), look fabulous (sort of), and allow you to drink (not at all).

Enter the Cigar Glass with a notch cut out for…you guessed it, a cigar!

However, you cannot drink or smoke while your cigar is in this museum-like setting…all nestled up and ready for a photo shoot.

You could try drinking with your cigar in the resting position. My tests did not prove this to be a viable plan.  I suspect that just depends on how much you like your eyebrows.

But if you need to jump up and abandon both your cigar and your drink simultaneously, you will not be subject to the shame of setting your cigar on the edge of a table or losing countless seconds locating the ashtray.

I haven’t even mentioned the fact that MOST cigar smokers have mastered holding a cigar and drink in the SAME hand.

Magic, you say? Some trick with mirrors, tape, or strings?

Nope…here is what it looks like.

Side Note: Everything looks better in a black-and-white photo.

So, unless you are looking for something to get that cigar-smoking buddy who needs something else to throw in a closet and never use, move on from this one. 

Source: I purchased this glass (new) off eBay for $12.84. It is currently on the second shelf of my office closet, in its original box, behind a bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows. At this point, I am also realizing I have disclosed too much. 

What about you? 

I could be in the minority here. There are nearly 5,000 reviews on this set-up (predominantly positive). So, let me know what you think in the comments!
