Have you actually tried them?
Because when I first started smoking, I was a pretty big RP fan. So naturally, I was picking up "firsts" of RP Vintage 90/92, Decade and OWR. I also picked up several of the seconds along the way. I still have many of the firsts and seconds in my cooler (well at least 3/4 of a box/bundle of each anyways). Aside for the lack of bands and boxes, there's absolutely no difference whatsoever between the firsts and seconds.

I have bought my share of 2nds, but the last one was maybe 8 years ago. You don't find Habanos 2nds, they get shredded into cigarette tobacco.

The only 2nds I would consider in NC's are in sizes that would a little expensive like double corona, pyramid, or churchill compared to buying 1st quality.

It really comes to giving 2nd's a "trial run" and if you happy; keep buying them. 2nd's means different things to different people and vendors. A spot or vein is no big deal. A tight cigar is the biggest deal as it just a throw away at that point. Not much of deal then.

Hey, as long as you are not buying JR's "tastes like Fuente" kind of cigar... I would not flush those down the toilet they are that bad.

Wow, this wasn't meant to turn ugly. If I can find 1st within about 15% cost, I go for it, but for a desert stog or yard work, 2nds just make sense to me. I have only had 1 out of about 25 with a bad burn. If I have the time to sit and relax with one, I usually dig for something good out of the humidors.
