Title: Just filed for my first patent
Post by: Magoo541 on July 26, 2016, 07:48:42 PM

Yes, my FIRST, more to come  ;)

This is what I patented:

A Cigar holder that attaches to a golf bag made out of 6061 Aluminum with a Stainless arm and the ability to accept other bases (because I don't waste time playing golf)  ;D  It is the same general shape and size as a 56 ring gage Toro so it will fit in most cigar cases.

Thank you. Rush Limbaugh asked someone to make one 5+ years ago and I built the first prototype shortly thereafter. I modeled it up in SolidWorks and built my second prototype a couple of years ago. I finished my degree in there somewhere and finally have some time since I was laid off two weeks ago.

Congratulations.     I have zero cigar knowledge, other than good ones come from Cuba.   Hopefully some company will pick this up and pay you big bucks.

Actually they don't. The quality of Cuban cigars went down hill after Castro took over. Just like everything under communism.
Philippine have actually always made better cigars.

I was in the cigar biz for awhile. As I gathered from the manufacturer's reps I dealt with, there are still some great Cuban cigars, but a majority of the talent left Cuba when it went to crap...most went to either Dominican Republic or Honduras. Plus there's a lot of junk floating around the Carribean labeled as Cuban that's not, so people get some of that and say Cubans suck.
If you get real Cuban  Monte Cristos or Fonsecas, you should get a nice cigar.
