Cutter and Punch

[alfredo_buscatti]

I'm sure that I'm not the first to do this, but earlier today I cut a torpedo, leaving ~5/8" of exposed cigar. The draw was too stiff for my liking, but I was too close to the end of the cap to cut again; so I punched it.

As you can imagine, when I retracted the punch, all I had done was to outline a circular hole in the head, whereupon I used the rod in my pipe tool to dig the tobacco out.

The results weren't magic, and they were a bit messy, but I did get a better draw such that I had no complaints smoking that cigar.
