Tight draws

I had a coffee break today and a LGC Medal d'Or no 4. (Delicious btw)
I struggled with this one though. Granted it is a long thin vitola, but it would not let up. I eventually had the cap clipped clean off and still struggled.
Eventually I pushed a cigar punch 5mm up the head and had a better draw.

As a complete noob, what does one do? I've heard of poking it with a toothpick, but it all seems rather barbaric.

So two questions:

1.) How do you manage a tight draw?

2.) If one cigar is like this - will the other 24 in the box be the same???
