If you have smoked cigars for any length of time, then you have probably tried the various hand rolled cigars available. Some cigar smokers smoke these exclusively, finding that they offer something extra. However, many of those smokers have also experienced the downside of the hand rolled cigar " sometimes, they can be difficult to draw. It will sometimes feel as though there is something that is inside the cigar and causing a block to the flow of smoke and air. In fact, this is exactly what is happening. You don't need to fret though. You will be able to take care of your cigar and get it going again in no time.
The cigars that are hand rolled are sometimes rolled too tightly. This doesn't happen often, but there is a good chance that at some point you are going to find a cigar that is difficult to draw. Don't worry and don't discard the cigar. You can fix the problem, and it won't take very much effort or much time.
The first thing you are going to want to do is use your thumb and forefinger to feel along the cigar. Start at the cap of the cigar, the end that you put in your mouth, and feel along the cigar until you find a hard spot. This hard spot is bunched up tobacco that is causing the blockage. Light the cigar and try to draw on it while gently squeezing the hard spot. This should loosen the material so that you don't have the blockage that is stopping the flow of smoke.
If you continue to have problems with the draw on the cigar, you are going to want to keep feeling for more areas of blockage. Repeat the process until you have a smooth draw from the cigar. You might find that the cigar goes out while you are doing this. Simply relight the cigar and keep going.
Having a cigar with a poor draw doesnt have to be the end of your fun. You will be able to fix the problem and get back to enjoying the cigar before you know it. Hand rolled cigars are the cream of the crop and you should not let prospect of a slow draw keep you away.
