+1 on the worm threader... Found them at a Bass Pro Shop in Tennessee for $2.49... They work very well.

New to the Asylum. How's it goin? I made my own tool but never use it. If the cigar is plugged, I will try to cut it a little shorter. Fifty percent of the time this works. If it is truely plugged, I throw the cigar away. I don't want to spend this precious time fighting a cigar.

Sometimes throwing away a rare or expensive stick is not a viable option... Just my :2

I do use your approach on torpedos or belicoso cigars with a great deal of success, however.

I have an old set of Henry's Draw Correction tools that I rarely use. I've found that they can open up a plugged cigar, but also do a great job of insulating the heat as it passes through the newly formed tunnel. As a result some of the cigars I've used them on tend to get hot much faster than normal.

I said "Yes", but mine is made from a clothes hanger, it's worked fine the few times I've needed it. I usually dont have too many problems with plugged cigars, or draws that are too tight. I might use my clothes hanger a couple times a year, so I just dont need it often enough to considered buying one...
