The "one simple trick" that many cigar enthusiasts swear by for achieving a smoother draw is ensuring your cigar is properly cut and hydrated. Here are a couple of tips:
1. **Proper Cut**: Make sure to use a high-quality cutter to make a clean cut at the cap of the cigar. A straight cut or a V cut can work well, but be mindful not to cut too much, as this can affect the draw.
2. **Humidification**: Ensure your cigars are stored in the right humidity (typically around 65-70%). If they are too dry, they can be harder to draw, while overly humid cigars can become difficult to smoke.
3. **Pre-Draw Check**: Before lighting up, take a pre-draw puff. This can help you gauge the draw and identify any potential blockages.
4. **Rotate While Smoking**: If you notice the draw is tighter on one side, try rotating the cigar while you smoke. This helps even the burn, which often leads to a smoother draw.
