There was a thread elsewhere, not sure where, but the determination was made that 'firmness' didn't necessarily equate to tight draws. I've had many cigars that were squishy that were plugged like mad and those that felt like batons and drew perfect.

Feeling for a hard spot or a lump somewhere on the cigar (typically under the band) is usually a good way to find out.
