Enjoyed my first My Father Le Bijou this afternoon with a bit of Aberlour A'Binadh single malt, my favorite. This was a very smooth smoke although I had a hard time distinguishing all the reported flavors. Very little nic hit, which I like. I took the precaution of having a snack before smoking. Looking forward to letting the other four mates rest in the humi for a couple of months before I try again.

I was given a brace of those and bet I couldn't resist smoking them both before my birthday in mid June. I'm having a hard time. I'm going to have to put them in the aging humi so I don't see them everyday unless you tell me that yours was just gross!
I use a piece of the smallest diameter coat hanger wire I could find. In addition, the secret (IMO) to making it work properly is to cut, file, or grind the end of the poker to a blunt, square-cut end rather than a pointed end.
Old-time carpenters and woodworkers know about this method. The square-cut end produces a cutting edge that will cut its way through the material whereas a pointed end acts as a wedge and forces material away from it just as a wedge is used in splitting firewood.
This is why you'll sometimes see an old time carpenter stand a nail upside down and tap the pointed end with his hammer to blunt the nail. He uses this trick to avoid splitting any fine wood that's otherwise prone to being split by the nail.
It seems counterintuitive, but it works.....
The little plastic ear protectors fell off of my backup sunglasses, leaving a very narrow, blunt ended wire with which to skewer my troublesome, hard to draw smokes
