Thanks for the tip. That is what I thought. I also have been successful
in the past with the "paper-clip" method of loosing a tough draw.

I've used a Draw Poker on quite a few, and still do occasionally. But
I find that, for some reason unknown to me, the cigars that have been
"poked" just don't taste the same as their brothers that drew well
from the start.

Agreed....

(anybody notice that my computer is doing quoting correctly finally? -
probably temporary <sigh>) I digress....

I have a number of thin wire like things for trying to unplug cigars,
but they usually barely made them smokeable. I'm convinced that there
is also a tremendous flavor loss because the "draw/smoke tunnel is a
narrow tube created by the poker, instead of the smoke filtering
through the body of the cigar and being improved by the body of tobacco
(this is sounding like a WW2 Lucky Strike commercial I saw in an old
Nat. Geog.)

I was afraid to put them (plugged gars) back in the dor after cutting
(oh horror), but finally found that a lot of them recovered with age.
And the cutting hadn't hurt... My latest goal is to get down to 65%
maximum on the humidity side..... temp is another whole problem with
this week's heat, but we do have a basement.

Lest anyone wishes to print out the relative-humidity"/temp lecture,
remember that the frank spouse guy" is a physical/chemist-physicist, so
i haven't just heard it, i get to live it <sigh> heck, he was my
math/science tutor in college.... aaarrrggghhh...

bests.... maryapp
