Plugged Cigar Tool
Does anyone know how I can purchase one of the petroglyphdesigns cigar tools? All the post I could find on this topic the link was dead - or the tool was not listed.
http://www.petroglyphdesigns.com/ Thanks, Mark |

I think they're out of business now.

The fact is that truly plugged cigars are exceptionally rare, and running a poker through a cigar that has a hard draw due to other, much more common problems (overhumidification is probably most common, followed by tight rolls/knots/hard spots/various other construction problems) is not likely to help much. All of this has been discussed at length here, numerous times, so I won't go back over old ground again.

Life is too short to wrestle with a plugged cigar. Tight draws are often the result of over humidification.

Thanks for letting me know they are no longer available. Tight draws would have been a more accurate description of the problem that I need to correct from time to time.
Over -humidification is not the issue. I like a cigar to draw easy with lots of smoke. Poorly burning cigars are a better indication of over-humidification, IMHO - not to mention wrinkled wrappers, mold etc. I have used the toothpick several times to correct a tight draw - esp on Torpedoes. If that does not work - in the trash it goes. I won't wrestle with a cigar that will not produce much smoke. Mark |

Go to the hardware store and buy an extra long (6" or so) drill bit in a 3/32" diameter.
