How would they test draw with the end cap in place?
Test before they put a cap on?

A vaild question, here is the definition from Cigar Aficianado's glossary

'A device that sucks air through a cigar in a cigar factory (often an unfinished one) to determine if air will move through the cigar properly when lit. The introduction of draw testing machines, which were rare around 1990 but are now common in the majority of cigar factories, is one reason why faulty draws are less common than before.'

So yes, they appear to be tested before the wrapper goes on.

Maybe they should calibrate the machine, so many wind tunnels coming out of Cuba right now.

Its was probably calibrated in anticipation of the American market!

Montechristo no 4 this morning.
Another poorly constructed cigar. Large plug under the band which made smoking like sucking thick milkshake through a thin straw. The flavours I got (as I persevered through thus one as it was an expensive stick) were mild slightly sweet tobacco. Nothing to write home about and nothing to make me buy again.
What's up with quality control on Cuban cigars these days. Seem to be getting a fair few plugged cigars or poor quality content.

The Monte 4 I had the other day was also plugged. I ended up taking a screwdriver to it, which helped a bit, but really need to get a PerfecDraw. Everyone here that has one raves about them.

Definitely worth buying. It'll pay for itself in no time.

like mcdee said worth buying should you need it. Works out cheaper doing a group buy plus you get a bottle of glue with it ,our sponsor sells both but dearer.
