Some folks are reluctant to smoke a cigar that they have not seen cut. I never light a cigar that appears to draw too tightly. I, first, assume that it's wet and place it in a drybox after cutting and testing the draw. After a day or two, I try it again. If it's fine I'll smoke it; if not, I may use a Drawpoker and let it rest again. Twice I've placed the cigar in my mouth. I'm not sure that even my closest friends would relish smoking a cigar that I've already had in my mouth, two times. I feel the same way. When someone hands me a stick that was lying, cut in the humidor, I assume they checked the draw a couple of times, previously. Cigars aren't the most sanitary items in the world, but I'd prefer to smoke those that do not have others' saliva on them.
