Ok... The only real killer for any cigar I smoke is a TIGHT draw. I have tried poking the end I cut with my trusty corn cob piercer, but have NEVER had any success relieving the issue. Thus, some "would be" nice smokes have ended up going by the wayside. It's just not enjoyable working that hard. Soooo... any suggestions or tool ideas from the guys and gals here? Should I have tried poking on the lit end? I'm stumped.

Please help me not prematurely end the life of any more potentially great smokes!

Thank you in advance for any and all responses.
