Tight draws

Cigars from that country are known for having draw issues upon occasion. Sometimes you can feel a "knot" in the cigar. Massage or roll that knot a little to help loosen things up. A draw tool is great to have and a long, skinny drill bit or skewer can work in a pinch. Dry boxing or even playing around with lowering your overall RH in the humidor may help as well. Hopefully there won't be too many more in that box with issues. Those are one of my current favorites at the moment.

Sometimes though, there isn't much to do other than pitch it and grab a different cigar.

Test the draw, dry box it and see if it gets better, but sometimes the above is your best option.
