In Need of a Draw Tool

Just use a large paperclip, unfolded arrow-straight about 4". Be careful or you puncture the wrapper. Stiff enough to get through cleanly, not so big it will split the stick.

The problem with paperclips is that it often just moves the tobacco aside, then after it is removed, the tobacco expands to fill the hole you;ve justv made. Serrated edges on a draw poker work nicely, as they remove some of the obstructing tobacco from the cigar itself.
