    What's your humidity at?

    If humidity is too high the tobacco can be expanded making it a tight draw.

    Cut enough of the end so you can get a good draw.

    Sometimes cigars are rolled tight.  You may have to squeeze and roll them around with your fingers to loosen them up or stick a thin rod in it to open a tunnel for air flow.

    Dry boxing your cigar before smoking may help, depending on your climate.

    Some of our members can tell you by cigar which ones may be benefit from this.

    I usually let mine sit out like half a day before I smoke. For example if I smoke after I work I take it out in the morning and by afternoon it will be little dryer and better draw. If not u should invest in a poker and shove it in lol
