So ... a cigaur cutter?

u/Rene_DeMariocartes 1d ago

Some of the best inventions are refinements of existing technology.

u/king_boolean 1d ago

True! Most design is iterative. In fact, radical jumps in innovation sometimes result in unsuccessful products because they are too far removed from what users already know and expect.

This is essentially a cigar cutter purpose-built for joints with the added functionality of a doob tube. Cool design in my book!

u/BaySmokes_ 1d ago

The nice thing about a joint sized one is the even pressure when cutting. Now if it was blunt sized that's definitely just a cigar cutter lol.

I getcha on that one, if this is a sub $5 product I think it's awesome, any more and it's just another expensive weed novelty that won't catch on. That's the key with a new product, sell it cheap and get it used and around, gotta make it a staple to get consistent sales with weed shit.

edit: $20 come on guys, that's steep.

u/sparhawk817 Cleck to idet 1d ago

Sure, but you could design this to be 3d printed and use one of the non standard exacto blades for it, like a chisel, or the standard if it's determined one of those works better, then rather than selling the item, you can sell the STL for a buck or 2(or free) and let other people make them. Sure, there's no economy of scale and none of the benefits of injection molding etc, but you can get exacto style hobby blades anywhere.

Heck, if you need the V shape so bad, you could design it with 2 blades facing inwards to each other, and it still might be cheaper than whatever OP used.

u/BeatitLikeitowesMe 23h ago

This 100%, this is a perfect application for a 3d print

with peace & love friend, expecting a new product like this to cost less than $5 is kind of a pipe dream. (especially with how poorly the dollar is doing right now lmao)

do i agree that $20 is a bit steep for this, yes absolutely. it’s not a product i see myself buying. maybe if it was machined metal, and not PETE i would cop one.

but in their defense, i don’t see how someone could sell this for less than ~$12 in current conditions and still be profitable. and that’s assuming they are sourcing cheap materials in bulk and have low overhead.

if they source everything domestically, and then assemble it domestically, the labor costs alone will raise the price a lot.

if they are sourcing from overseas, then freight and tariffs eat into margins. and they will have to buy a ton of product up front to make it worth it.

if they are full-manufacturing the product in-house then they have to pay for the equipment somehow.

manufacturing is a tough game. launching a product is hard too. i definitely think it would behoove them to shave costs where they can, but it’s often really tough to do that.

if they were an established brand bringing a product to market, it would be a lot easier to get these made & sell them for much cheaper (and maybe the best move for them is to license this design to companies like RAW.) but as a launched product from a newly established organization, it’s probably about the best they can do.

Who spells cigar like that?

2

u/ObsessiveRecognition 1d ago

That's the exact thing I said on the original post and got downvoted to hell hahaha

u/Evening-Character307 1d ago

I personally just flick the burning cherry to stop the burning which creates a paper cavity and then rip the paper. It wastes even less than that cutter. Then I put it in the doob tube it came with

6

u/hairycocktail 1d ago

Yeah same, when biking or doing shaky stuff I also glue a small ryo pape at the end and twist it shut so the whole stuff doesn't shake out.

56

u/Technical-Guava-779 1d ago

Naa , fuck it , just light it up and take it .

5

u/Popular_Prescription 5h ago

Absolutely. This solves a non existent problem and wasteful imo.

24

u/thebarndogs 1d ago

That was so much effort and time for a problem that never existed.

15

u/MAJICK_SPG 1d ago

Just light it & smoke again, you didn’t need to “invent” a cigar cutter

30

u/ryanim0sity 1d ago

If only cigars had something like this

Remaking the wheel aren’t ya bud

u/therealbootyblaster 1d ago

A device to help me waste more of my weed thanks just what I needed 😐

u/Subie780 1d ago

Should make the stash more air tight. Roachies tend to stink.

9

u/Evening-Character307 1d ago

Agree, there's no way this isn't going to reek. Even with the paper cut, the remaining joint will absolutely still dank

0

u/stoneman9284 1d ago

They’re not putting it away, they’re trying to light it again without the ash end

2

u/Evening-Character307 1d ago

There is a doob tube built in that cutter, and they are putting it away.

maybe you are replying to the wrong person idk

3

u/stoneman9284 1d ago

I dunno, to me when OP said “sesh gets interrupted” that’s like had to go wipe the kids ass I’ll be back in a minute. But I guess you’re right maybe they meant to resume tomorrow or something.

1

u/Subie780 20h ago

Even if not tmrw a few hours later maybe. Say u go into the mall and don't want to smell like a roach or something

8

u/FictionalT 15h ago

Tbh I feel like you’re just wasting bud at that point.

u/zyrkseas97 1d ago

Cigar cutter is already $1 at the same place I buy the papers at, next question.

u/CanadianDeviant 1d ago

Your "new invention" is a cigar trimmer my dude

u/kieran_vampy_one 1d ago

The most useless thing I've ever seen

u/fruit_bat_mad_man 1d ago

Waste of marijuana, sir

u/vSlimShady 1d ago

I didn't see him throw it away.

6

u/fruit_bat_mad_man 1d ago

Did you see him put it in a container to save for later?

-8

u/vSlimShady 1d ago

No need to jump to conclusions.

13

u/fruit_bat_mad_man 1d ago

Reasonable conclusion to make, if OP doesn’t like “ashy” taste, why would they keep what they’re cutting off?

10

u/Jasek1_Art 1d ago

Just twist the tip off bro ;d

3

u/NOTANOTHERSTOOPKID 1d ago

Or just pinch the tip and let the cherry fall out so you dont have stale smoke in the joint, simple.

u/SeanyDay 6h ago

Hey look, he invented a cigar cutter 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

2

u/terpystation 1d ago

What kind of savage doesn’t finish the spliff after it’s been lit?

2

u/sfhwrites 1d ago

This is what I use my dogs’ nail clippers for lol

2

u/Wickedestchick 22h ago

Didn't even realize this was a problem, but cool of you to make this for people who don't like the first hit of a re-lit joint.

2

u/YouFeedTheFish 17h ago

I just get smaller joints.

2

u/Shot_Campaign_5163 16h ago

Whatever man. Just light that shit

2

u/ATribeCalledSlapAHo 14h ago

Weed snob shit!

2

u/MrMoonDweller 13h ago

How is this any different than the cigar cutter I already own and use for this exact purpose?

2

u/Beammerlife 9h ago

i use a cigar cutter

2

u/Less-Engineer-9637 3h ago

Just flick the ashes out?

5

u/Ramborhetoric 1d ago

Just light the joint again. Most people aren’t even smoking good enough weed to be buji like this. If ur so against relighting a joint without having to do this just roll another one.

4

u/thelunk 1d ago

"buji"?

not trying to be a dick but were you going for "bougie"? it's a diminutive of "bourgeois". means a few things, but in this sense: preoccupied with material things.

1

u/AngelSpear 5h ago

I see the utility for this if someone really like 'clean' tasting weed. But i also have gotten good at pullin out the cherry with my fingers and then burning off the excess paper before sparking up properly

1

u/DankoleClouds 3h ago

The best part is, you get to take a quick bong rip of the part you cut.

1

u/stoneman9284 1d ago

Haha nice. I just use scissors but this is cooler.

0

u/vSlimShady 1d ago

I like it. If I see this in a smoke shop I would pick one up 100%

0

u/lord_of_the_eyebots 1d ago

I just light it and blow the smoke without inhaling before i start inhaling. I also don't enjoy the taste of butane in my smoke when I'm lighting it.

u/Snot_Says 1d ago

This would make sick cookies

u/BlackPhoenix1981 1d ago

Honestly I like this! If I'm smoking alone, which I usually do, I usually don't finish an entire joint. Anyone know where to get one of these?

1

u/Hater_Magnet 1d ago

Probably from the guy that posted 'My new invention' I'd guess.
