CI "Fake" Cigars?

[HIM]

Well, on the one hand, they are not one of his advertisers and I'd be more impressed if he conducted the same experiment on one of their offerings. But on the other, I did see a video where he dismantled a Padron on the rumor some were filled with stems and he did prove it to be the case with that stick.

I wanted to point out that while leaf is frog legged part of the mid rib is left in the leaf to help give structure to the cigar. All cigars have stems in them. He could have saved the cigar and just looked up any video on youtube of people rolling cigars and watched the way they bunch the leaf.
I don't see why he's making such a fuss over a cigar that costs as much as a Dutch Master. My Big Mac doesn't look like the one in the commercials does either, is this really a surprise?
