cigar poker vs dry boxing

[icehog3]

If I know before lighting that a cigar is likely plugged, I may give dry-boxing a try, but I don't do it often.

After lighting I will work with the cigar poker for a couple minutes for a plug. If it doesn't open up enough to fully enjoy, I pitch it and grab another. As Greg, Dave and others have said, life is too short to waste time on a cigar you're not enjoying.
