411 on Flor de Oliva

So, one of my closest friends, the one that got me into cigars works at my local B & M and he was explaining that the "Flor de Oliva" line is made by the Oliva company, and what they are is regular Olivas (V, G, O, etc) that came out discolored, or a fraction too short or too long, or the ring gauge is slightly off, so they label them as Flors and sell them discounted.

So in reality you're smoking a $7-12 stick for $2-5... That's what he told me, not sure if any of you know of this or heard the same, heard different? Assume different?
