bad draw

[QuietC]

yeah i did try massaging the "harder" spot and poking a hole in it, neither worked. So just ended up throwing it away, usually poking a hole in it works, oh well

I wouldnt want to throw them out just because of how pricey they are.

I disected one of my habanos and smoked the tobacco in a pipe..it was actually pretty good.

If massaging it at the hard spot does not work (this almost sounds like something else)...as I digress, I would ditch it. I have had a bad draw and like everyone else has stated; you work too hard to enjoy it and thus, defeat the purpose of slowing down time....and meditating with the Cigar and the fine Country of its origin...
