I think that was taken from Wikipedia though?

Wouldn't flor de oliva be listed on their website though? Then again Nubs aren't. I am going to contact them and find out.

Brand separation is a huge thing is many industries, not just cigars. See GMC and Chevrolet, Ford and Mercury...

As I recall, a rep once told me that FdO's are actually a specific blend that is simply blended with cheaper tobaccos to make a decent $2-5 stick. Oliva as a company does not sell "seconds" or "leftovers" as an Oliva branded name cigar.

leftover tobacco, and I guess seconds and cigars that didn't meet quality standards too, are shredded and sold to makers of dry cigars, at least, that's what José Oliva told me.

That's your first problem. If you want facts, don't go to Wiki.

Second problem, you're overthinking it.

I didn't go to Wikipedia, he did and that's what I was saying is you can't always trust Wikipedia. And I probably am overthinking lol.
