A little trick.

I don't think I am the only one doing this but its worth mentioning.
I use a bullet punch pretty much all the time now.
When I encounter a tough draw I no longer get the scissor cutter out, I put the cigar back in the humidor and leave it alone for 3 or 4 days. 90% of the time the draw is greatly improved and I can enjoy the cigar to its fullest.
There is the once in a great while tight draw that is caused by construction, and I, like most I am sure, use a draw tool.

I don't like to put a cigar that's touched my lips back in the humidor. Did it once before because of tough draw... It tasted terrible when I lit it up. Talk about potential mold or bacteria growth...I will leave them sitting out though. However, low rh does the trick most of the timeLLA - Lancero Lovers of America0

Have to try that next time. Rather do that then re-cutting or poking.0 -
