Perfecto Cigar Holder Review

Written by: Tony Korologos | Friday, May 16th, 2014
Categories: Cigars • Golf Accessories • Golf Gear • Golf Life • Golf Lifestyle • Miscellaneous • Reviews

I’ve been working very hard on this review. I’ve had many deep research sessions. In those sessions I’ve tested every configuration and environment possible to bring you, my loyal patrons, an in-depth and educational review of the highest quality. It has been tough work. Despite how hard the research has been it was an enjoyable and rewarding experience doing it.

Today’s review subject is the Perfecto Cigar Holder. This accessory crosses over between the golf and lifestyle worlds. This cigar holder has two core features which make it great, on or off the golf course.

Perfecto Cigar Holder in Action!

Clamp

As you can see in the image above, the Perfecto Cigar Holder features a clamp which allows the unit to be mounted to many random items like golf carts, tables, or perhaps even your opponent’s putter.

Holder/Ash Tray

The holder for the cigar is capable of holding cigars of many sizes. There is an ash collection area which keeps ashes from falling and making a mess.

Critiques

The clamp is great, but one missing feature I found myself wanting on the golf course was the ability to rotate the clamp and holder. I really wanted to clamp the unit on the pole for the roof of the golf cart. In that case, rotating the unit 90 degrees would have been the ticket. So for future development, I’d say the ability to rotate the clamp would be a great addition.

Conclusion

The Perfecto Cigar Holder allows the user to keep the cigar mounted, close by, and catches ashes. This would make a great Father’s Day gift for the cigar smoker (golfer or not) on your list.

Though this article marks the completion of my official review process of the Perfecto Cigar Holder, further personal research and testing will continue indefinitely.

First Look: Bobby Jones Apparel XH20 Performance Poly Polo

Look who photobombed my morning golf apparel script. None other than Mr. Bobby Jones himself!

Bobby Jones XH20 Performance Poly Polo

I’m happy to be working with Bobby Jones Apparel, a brand I’ve greatly respected for a long time, on some upcoming apparel reviews. Today’s first look at the XH20 Performance Poly Polo is the beginning. The color of this polo is very hard to capture photographically. It is called Pique. The color is an orange/coral/pink combination. The photo above captured more of the orange of the garment, but looking at it on my body right now I’d say the coral/pink hue is missing a bit. This is one you have to see in person.

Looking forward to my Bobby Jones Apparel reviews coming up. I’ll put this and a few other Bobby Jones pieces through the ringer, pun intended, and post my findings soon.

Father’s Day is coming up. Looks like a good Father’s Day golf gift idea.

Check out this polo and a few other Bobby Jones pieces in the new HOG Bobby Jones Apparel photo gallery.

First Look at the Nex Generation of Golf Belts

Today’s golf belt apparel script gives us the first look at a belt maker called Nexbelt. A golf friend referred Nexbelt to me and I’m happy to make the connection.

Nexbelt Men’s Golf Belt

Nexbelts have a combination of three excellent and convenient features:

Custom Cut

Nexbelts all come in one (very long) length. The belt is custom cut down to size. This a fantastic, as many belts I have are just barely the wrong fit.

Ratchet

If you look at the belt photos in this post and in the Nexbelt photo gallery, you’ll notice the belts have no holes. A ratchet mechanism secures the belt and also allows for a perfect fit which is neither too tight or too loose.

Hidden Ball Marker

The belt buckle serves as a doorway to a hidden ball marker. Blow your friends away with this James Bond 007 ball marker setup and for the ladies, including bling.

Review Soon

I’m now in the testing and evaluation stages and will post my review soon. First impressions and conclusions are that my pants are not falling down. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

Hats off to the Fort Worth City Council, Finding Golf Courses Enhance Quality of Life

Written by: Tony Korologos | Thursday, May 15th, 2014

Golf gets a bad wrap sometimes. For some reason, those who don’t “get it” think golf is an elitist sport and that golf courses are no good for their community. They think golf takes up too much space and has too much of a negative impact on the environment. Those people have seen too much golf on TV, like the Masters Tournament or have seemingly only been exposed uber-exclusive high end country clubs. Municipal courses are very valuable to a community.

The Fort Worth City council was deciding whether to scrap their local Rockwood Golf Course or invest funds into bringing the facilities up to modern standards. I’m thrilled at their findings and some of the things they had to say about golf when assessing what to do. From the Fort Worth Star Telegram:

While there’s been a lot of discussion lately as to whether golf is an elite sport that should not require city subsidies, the presentation to the council Tuesday emphasized that golf courses are as much a part of the park program as playgrounds, aquatic centers, the nature center, the zoo, and dog and skate parks.

Reinvesting in these facilities is “good stewardship of the assets the public has entrusted to us. It’s a holistic view of the parks — all are part of the quality of life portfolio,” said Richard Zavala, director of parks and community services.

Hats off to the Fort Worth City Council. Their assessment is a hole-in-one.
