Joe Cigar Selling Seconds?

Could it be that RP's QC is slipping, or are the Decades you've sourced from other vendors recently been much better? I wouldn't be so quick to blame it on CI. Sometimes, if you're paying a big discount for samplers, there's a reason they're discounted. They may not be seconds per se, but CI could feasably buy boxes or cases of cigars that other vendors passed up, it happens all the time with CC vendors. Also, it could be that CI has a deal with certain producers where they buy up unboxed bundles of uglies that aren't quite "seconds" but didn't make it into boxes. Something has got to explain why some of their samplers are so far below MSRP.
