Cutter and Punch

[alfredo_buscatti]

For me, a draw poker is worthless. Most times when I use it, poking all the way out through the foot, the only way to in fact improve the draw, the wrapper bursts; if I just poke the first two inches, the wrapper may not burst but the tool has no effect.

The only way that I can think that a draw poker could be used in conjunction with the cutter and punch would be after both of these tools have been used, and you are trying to remove the interior tobacco of the punched head.

But far superior to a poker is the drill bit. It not only cuts but also removes the tobacco that it cuts.

i guess it all depends on where the blockage is...or if the draw is tight because of the overall roll of the cigar. the one time i used the poker on my pipe tool (which is max. 3 inches long) it did improve the draw.

the drill bit is an interesting idea.
