1.5 Amp is what he cartomizer is drawing given the parameters Izan used. 2.5A is the max limit of the battery in such devices.
This is assuming 3.8 volts on the battery. But it's likely on a fresh charge you will see 4.0 volts or above on such batteries so the amp draw could be a bit higher (assuming the same resistance) for a time until the battery tapers down to it's nominal voltage. I can't say whether or not that specific battery will charge to above 3.8v but I have a lot of old devices like cigalikes and eGo batteries and they all charge 4.0v to 4.1v when fully charged.
Play around with a calculator.
The cartomizer is drawing approx 1.5 Amps if it is 2.5Ω, and 1.9 Amps if it is 2.0Ω.

Sorry to be a bore; you have provided two possible different answers: You say the EKaiser Authentic Cigar is 1.5 Amp if it is 2.5 ohm or 1.9 Amp if it is 2 ohm
I don't know which one to choose as the true answer?
Won't all of the 'Cigars', EKaiser makes, be identical? How can I test how many Ohms it is, please?

Both are the "true answer". What the cartomizer amp pull is (your original question) depends on the resistance (ohm) of the cartomizer.
The battery in that mod has a limit of 2.5 amps maximum. Whichever resistance you choose between 2.0 and 2.5 ohms will draw less than the 2.5 amp max so you should be safe in that regard.
Even if the battery charges to 4.2 volts and you vape at 4.2 volts for a time using a 2.0 ohm coil, that is still only a 2.1 amp draw which is below the battery's 2.5 amp limit.
If the resistance of your cartomizer is not between 2.0 and 2.5 ohms, then use the calculator I referred to above to find the amp draw using that cartomizer. Simply enter 3.8 for the voltage and whatever the ohms are for the resistance of your atomizer than calculate. The calculator will show you what the amp draw is.

Thank you. I don't know what the Ohms rating for the Cartomizer is(?) How can I find the answer, please? Nor do I know the Wattage of the Cartomizer(?)
I think you need to contact the vendor to get those answers. If you bought it directly from ekaiser or a local shop they should be able to help. Good luck!
Well, the likelihood of it being below 2.0 ohms is probably slim on such an old atomizer. That's probably why Izan used the 2.0-2.5 range.
At a 4.2 max voltage, that old atomizer would have to be 1.7 ohms to reach the 2.5 amp limit of the battery, and that 1.7 ohms is unlikely (however not impossible).
You'll need an ecigarette meter or a multimeter or a box mod to find out.
You can ask the vendor but you could have an atomizer with a defect causing the ohms to be lower than they were manufactured to be.
If it is a 510 threaded cartomizer, take it to a vape shop and they should be able to check it for you. If the cartomizer has any other thread on it they still may be able to check it for you if they have a multimeter. Threads that are not 510 have been so scarce for so long that 99% of vape shops will not have the right ecigarette meters or adapters for such devices so they would need a multimeter. Back in the day it would be probably be a good bet that a vape shop would have a multimeter on hand, but today that isn't a good bet.
But every vaper should have a way to measure things like atomizer resistance, regardless of what equipment you are vaping on.
