How Can You Tell if a Second Is a Second?

if you order cigars from any store that ship you seconds, without telling you they are seconds, I wouldnt shop there anymore. you will not get seconds here, unless they are marked as such. generaly seconds dont have bands, and might come in bundles instead of boxes. mind you, there is nothing wrong with seconds, most of them were separated out simply cause of color oddities or blemishes. I have smoked many rocky patel vintage 90 seconds and they are all top shelf, just a little ugly.

A lot of places online probably do that. Which is why CCOm reigns supreme over them. To answer your original question, you'll just see little blemishes or spots on the cigar. Sometimes you have to look really hard to find why it's a second. I've ordered seconds from here that I couldn't figure out why they were seconds.

oh sure, must be really easy to fake a macanudo. just take some leaves from the garden waste pile in your backyard, some old newspaper, roll it up and you got a macanudo!
