How do you like your draw? Pipes/Cigars

[Toothpick]

Specify which way you like it?

I’ve heard that with a cigar you want the draw somewhere around the consistency of a milkshake through a straw?

What say you?

I’m sure this is a personal preference.

As far as pipes - I have no idea.

Never took notice before. Looks like I’ll have to head to Sonic tomorrow to find out.

I like a pipe with a nice easy draw...just heavier then pulling air through a straw. I'll take really light breaths while smoking. I find the lighter I pull, the better the flavors. Without a nice drawing pipe ita hard to keep lit at that pace...of course A LOT of the draw has to do with how its packed.

On a cigar I think a heavier draw such as the one you mentioned is more natural.

The easier the draw, the better. Pipe or cigar. JMHO

I generally like an open draw, makes the "breath" method easier/more efficient. Our new B&B LE is perfect. I can tolerate a bit of constriction, but many of my father's old codger pipes could stand to be opened up, but not really worth the effort.

Cigar only here - light to medium draw

Cigars. I would say a medium draw. Lighter draw isn't too bad, to a point. I do like feeling resistance to the draw.

I’m dead on with @brandaves on this one. With a heavy draw, especially by packing too tightly, you get too much heat that destroys the flavor - particularly true with mild blends. I also prefer medium sized bowls to enhance flavor.

For cigars, as an example, the draw of any Padron is perfect to me.

For cigars, medium draw - firm but not tight.

A medium to medium-light draw is what I prefer with my cigars. With my pipes. I like a smooth and open draw with nothing in the pipe. Once I've pack it, I like it to be like a medium thick milkshake. If my cheeks are sucking in and the bottom of my tongue is becoming strained, then it's too tight for me.

Medium for a cigar, definitely light for a pipe. I like to take very light breaths when smoking a pipe to keep it lit and this really helps me relax... so, light, easy draw helps a ton.

Pipes wide open, cigars a little tighter.
