I have only lost that one cigar to the poker, but have had a few cracks in the wrappers. I smoke mostly larger rings, but found the poker was necessary for one small ring cigar, the very mild Liga IV which is plugged mo0re than 1/2 of the time. There was a month or so that I didn't use it at all, but in the last few weeks it has been put back into service. Prior to getting the draw poker, I used a 6 inch hypodermic needle to improve cigar draw. Poked many a hole in cigars and fingers.

Here is a simple but very effective poker.
Take a big paper clip, the ones that are almost 2 inches long.
Straighten the clip as best you can
Get a smooth head hammer and a smooth steel surface, and beat/smash about one inch of the clip flat.
It will get real sharp and flat.
On the other end, take about a half inch and bend it at 90 degrees....it is the handle.
The best poker you will eve use.

Thereya go...I just used a metal file to put a sharp tip on mine and a pair of pliers to straighten out the bends. Very efficient and economical.

If I gotta poke a cigar to get it to smoke, its gonna be yard mulch. . . Nothing more frustrating than a cigar that won't burn.

I would surmise that everyone goes through this phase, wanting to believe the ad descriptions, wanting to fill their cheap, **** Chinese humidors up, believing they're now going to "age" all their cheap "miami" and "cuban-seed" cigars into Davidoffs in a years time.

The people with half a brain realize in very short order that 2nds, overruns, and just plain cheap bundle cigars aren't worth the cocksweat off a hogs nuts and decide to leave them alone.

I won't touch anything NC under 2 years old and won't touch anything cuban under 5 years old with anything I get by the box. When I was starting out I quit buying cheap cigars after probably about 5 bundles as they pissed me off more than anything. I just wouldn't smoke if I couldn't afford anything beyond the box or boxes I was buying slated for long term, otherwise if I did have extra money beyond my box purchases, I would buy singles or 5 paks of good/great **** as I don't think quarter and half full boxes age nearly as well as full ones do and didn't want to pull even one from one of the boxes.

I suggest you do the same instead of wasting your money because that's what your doing buying 5 vegas ****!

Had a 5 vegas anomoly corona today and a classic corona yesterday. Classic had **** tight draw halfway thru anomoly **** draw whole time. Other stuff smoked outta that humi is fine. Indicative of construction issue or somefhing else? Just a cheap cigar? Anyone use a draw poker? Coworker suggested i get one.

Even burn on both. Liked flavor on classic.

I always check the draw before lighting up. Its bad enough having to pitch a $2 stick but wait till it happens with one of your $30 "holy grail" sticks and you'll be looking for something to kick! The best tool I've found for opening up a tight cigar is a 1/8" drill bit. Turn the bit between your fingers while gently pushing it into the cigar and removing tobacco as you go. The trick is to remove the excess tobacco as you go, this will open the draw without splitting the wrapper. Hope this helps.

Never had a 5Vegas triple A have you? It's an AJ Fernandez stick and it's not half bad.

Sorry for owning a $hit Chinese humidor. I shoulda dropped a couple grand on a wooden box so I could keep my cigars at a consistent temperature and 65 rh.

For so few posts you sure come across as an a$$hole. It's one thing to post an unsolicited response but it's completely another to be a snobbish ****** at the same time.

Hey, the dink thinks he's a friggin' saint, probably had crepes instead of waffles. Holidays are over- time to rough up the noobs that need it.

I have a couple of triple A's and will probably get to them this spring. Got 'em cause I heard good things.

life's too short to smoke cheap cigars. . .


One thing you will find in most bargain brands, is that they are consistently inconsistent. My opinion, its not worth the frustration of dealing with a cigar that won't burn.

Smoke higher cigars, less often if you must, but the hobby is much more enjoyable when you stick to quality.

Like what you smoke and smoke what you like.
