You mean the center plug of tobacco that is left after you punch? Yes, if that doesn't come out on it's own, you should pop it out of there.

If it doesn't come out easily or on it's own, you might not be punching deep enough to fully cut through the capote (binder).

Note how you can clearly see the filler tobacco.
