It's one of those that never seems to die either.

It might very well have been advertised as such, accidentally.

Kind of like what happened with the Liga Privada No.9's. Due to a press error, they were originally billed as having Dominican tobacco in the filler. There isn't any Dominican tobacco in there, never has been, and even though the error was corrected pretty quickly, that one little bit of misinformation keeps popping up all over the place on the internet, even today, many years after it was corrected.

Certainly not your fault bro.

Albert, you don't need to defend yourself over the issue, I was just simply correcting the information, not accusing you of anything.

Anyway, that blogger is mistaken. Shocking.

Cigar.com's website does leave quite a bit of room for misinterpretation though:
"Rolled with a dark, oily San Andres maduro wrapper (almost identical to the wrapper used on Padron's Anniversary Maduro)"

It's a different strain of tobacco, grown in a different country, processed differently. "Almost identical" my ass.
