My policy is to fling 'em and start over with a new cigar. But I have heard good things about the draw tool called PerfecDraw.

Unroll it, and roll it up again.
Next time, make sure your filler isn't too damp.
Also, don't let the filler twist when you roll.
Beginner mistake. Happened to the best of us.
Well, maybe except for Fumador. He's got the golden hands.

Yeah, I was just pullin his leg.
Look, if your blunt draws too tight, then unroll it and loosen your bud. There's a reason they come all damp in a foil pouch.
But, seriously, I'm with Bob Luken on this one ... chuck it.

I have a perfec draw as well and works great on plugs... but over the last few years I have noticed some cigars smoke great when I get them in the shop... and crap at home... I realized that some oily cigars or tightly packed cigars might need a little extra humidity monitoring... I am in the south where it’s hot an humid.... keeping the humidor cool at 60-65 degrees and the humidor at 65 humidity has helped. For the extra oily ones ( ie broad leaf maduro ) , I heard a trick from Robert Holt of Southern Draw mentioned that you could “hot box” a cigar for a day or two, which he described as letting it dry outside the humidor ( assuming that you live in a dryer climate), to aid in the combustion.0

Also, if I have lit the cigar and the draw sucks...I throw it away in a heart beat1

not me, I suffer through them. But I'm the heathen of the group; been known to relight a cigar 7 or 8 times too, sometimes out of the ashtray the next morning.

Thanks to all. I have ordered a "Prefect Draw" tool. This should solve my problem.
Again, thanks for your input.

I used to use this in my earlier days. But have since adapted to using a 5/64" x 6.00" with a 135 degree drill bit point angle. I've found this extra steep angle with the smaller bore, provides the perfect venturi effect thus, a perfect draw, vs over-boring to 3/32".
