I picked up a brick

From most you will hear "pitch it, life's too short". BS I say, life's too short to waste hard earned money on not trying to fix a plugged smoke.

try cutting a wire coat hanger, using about a 6-7 inch long piece of the straight side to work through the cigar carefully. I found mine to work really well in most situations, sometimes nothing will work, and then I pitch the cigar.
