Maybe the pin, when placed properly in relation to the ring of holes, would help prevent the smoker from also covering up the holes. Just wild speculation from a life long non-smoker.

I think that person was kidding themselves too. A Marlboro filter does not have vent holes and I don't think adding some would change the gas flow. The vent holes I am talking about are on brands like True.... a circle of vent holes in the filter between the mouthpiece and the cigarette is supposed to .... geez. I forget if it is supposed to suck air in or let smoke out. Point is, the cigarette gets its low tar rating because the machine that does the test does not blow the holes and under those conditions less tar is delivered. An actual smoker covers the holes so they can taste the dang thing.
