How the PerfecDraw is designed

The working shaft is precisely designed with sharp 30 degree angle tobacco cutting blades, as well as sharp 90 degree angle tobacco pulling channels. It removes small bits of tobacco exactly where needed and pulls on the surrounding tightly packed tobacco to loosen the draw. It has a sharp, tapered, flattened spade tip to chew up the tobacco as you twist it into the cigar. This prevents outward expansion to prevent damage and cracking of the wrapper even on thin cigars.

We don’t simply want to drill a hole up the middle of the cigar. We want smoke to travel through the tobacco, not through a hole in the tobacco. The tobacco pulling channels loosen up the surrounding tobacco so when you continue to smoke, the humidified vapor traveling up the cigar quickly causes the loosened tobacco to relax, expand and fill the area where tobacco was removed.

How the PerfecDraw is constructed

The outer casing of the PerfecDraw is made of heat hardened aerospace grade 6061 T-6 aluminum. It also has a black anodized, 25-micron deep, “hard coat” for exceptional durability. The PerfecDraw working shaft and blades are constructed using a beautiful non-corrosive 304 surgical stainless steel.

The instrument will never corrode, and blades will maintain excellent effectiveness when used as directed.
