They make a gadget to fix this problem, but I just use a nail to get the cigar "unplugged" and then it works just fine for me.

Depends?
Did you check the draw before yopu lite it?
I usually massage a cigar (around the area where the band is)
often (or for some reason) this is where you will find a plug.

If you can cut it off or poke a whole through the plug it can work
at times.

Also if you smoke to fast taht can cause a cigar to react funny.
Also getting it to wet can clog the smoke, just cut the end and see if that helps.

Not all cigars are perfect, hand rolled products even more so.
In the long run - they are worth the hassle - at least to me.
I always check a cigar before lighting it.
I have left clipped cigars sit for 6 months & found them smokable.
Sometmes I will leave it out over night and see if being a little dry doesn't improve the draw.

Welcome,
