They seldom do draw tests and when they do, well think of all the cigars they make and think of the hit and misses one gets in a box. RP has no control of those cigars. I hope that helps.

interesting....
the 2ond's i bought are sun grown.
also interesting you mentioned the vintage's are seldom draw tested. I bought a 1990 vintage from my local smoke shop. it was real tuff to draw. I thought it was me - or the cigar was poorly stored.
good info. something to remember.
