Question about cigar that's hard to smoke

[F.T. Pulver]

Keep in mind that a cigar with a tight draw, even to the point of being unsmokasble, and a plugged cigar are two different things. A tight draw may be fixed by something as simple as lowering the humidity in your humidor and can also be addressed with a draw poker.

A plugged cigar is a cigar that is unsmokeable no matter what you do to it. A plug is and actual obstruction caused, usually, by a bind in a leaf and can be felt by hand before the cigar is even lit.

I also use a wooden shish cabob skewer and usually have no problem. I also keep one in my sun visor just case I'm driving.

You can get a ton of them for $15.00.

I jammed the tiny blade on my pocket knife up in there and it seemed to do the job. It was a terrible cigar anyway. I should have just thrown it away instead of going through all that trouble. Like I said, it cost me $1.15 so I didn't lose much on it. Thanks for the info, everyone!
