I recently had a couple of cigars that were tight on the draw. I had read here and other places about draw tools and this is what I came up with:

If it looks suspiciously like a car antenna...well I manage an auto repair shop.:-)

It's stainless steel, spiral fluted and gets XM satellite!

Lol Nice but a paper clip works just as well.

I tend to go to excess.

Nice! It would be interesting to know if, when you extract the tool, if it pulls tobacco with it.

Nice. Mine is made out of a coat hanger. :P

I've only used it once, turning it as I pushed it in. When I pulled it out, there were a few small flakes of tobacco that came out with it. Nothing that overly concerned me, though. Pre-light, the draw on that cigar was tight as a gnat's a....you get the metaphor. After I poked it, it was much better on the draw and it smoked beautifully with no tunnelling or canoeing.

Not many Draw pokers get XM as well! :-)
