"People aren't smoking cigars to be trendy, cool or stylish. They're smoking cigars because they like them. Because they enjoy the experience. Because for about $5 they can spend an hour sampling one of life's greatest luxuries." -David Savona

If memory serves me right, there was an article/ad in CA a while back about this. I really liked a product called "the heater holder" because it snaps right onto your bag.
Can't for the life of me figure out why they don't put cigar holders on golf carts. They can, of course put ball washers on the carts, even though every hole has one, and I ignore both and use a wet towel.
End-rant.

I've used the cigar clip (looks like a big clothes pin). They clip onto the cart, so no help if you venture away from the cart. They are VERY EASY to overlook as you are packing up. I've left a few behind.
And yes, fragile wrappers don't hold up that well.

Dad and I both left them on the cart after we were done the first or second time they were used. Now I just leave my cigar on the grass.

According to Dave Savona and Gordon Mott, leaving your cigar on the grass involves the risk of fertilizers getting into your smoke
With all respect Dave and Gordon, you won't get fertilizers in your smoke when you leave it on the grass for 20-30 seconds which is all the time you need to take your shot. :P

He had a patient last year that had mysterious symptoms, and he just could not diagnose it. The guy got progressively worse to the point of hospitalization and consistently declining condition. He fortunately made a sideways comment in front of the hospital staff - something like, "If I die, at least I got my dream golf vacation in."
A light bulb came on. That staff found out the course he'd vacationed at the prior week with his buddies, called them and found out what chemicals they use. Sure enough, the guy had some chemical poisoning, which they are now pretty sure he got from laying his cigar on the tee box grass.
Once diagnosed, he was treated and fine, but it goes to show you that you have to take the threat seriously.

Hmmmm... sounds more like a "House" episode.
