Would have to do the math on that one, but I think it's really just splitting hairs. One thing about the construction of the cigars is that the flat cut will expose all, or nearly all, of the air channels created by the bunching & rolling, the V-cut will not, so even if you have more surface area exposed, it's across a reduced number of orifices, which means that, since pressure is a constant, you will have to increase the velocity to get the same volume of air through the cigar (drawing harder). This increase might help the burn, but again, I think it's really trivial/minor differences here.
