2nds For everyday smokes?

[duckmanco]

chiming in yet again here with a report back on my bundle of RP X-Out Liga D robustos (Decade blend)

FLAT OUT ASTONISHINGLY GREAT cigar in every way. Perfect draw and burn, no touch ups needed, and the flavor was right on too... loads of dark earthy semi sweet leathery cocoa action. I can see why people pay full shot for this blend, and truth be told I would too.... that is if CI weren't selling them unbanded for MUCH less.

Which, yet again this begs to me state, I have yet to have a single bad draw on ANY RP factory select, 2nd, or XOUT yet. And I hate, I mean hate an even less than perfect draw.

Rant off....again.

Totally, irrevocably agree with Mr Duckmanco.
RP seconds are my everyday smokes, esp. in winter when it can get soggy and breezy here in the harbor. I smoke RP seconds throughout winter, and hand out the No. 1 cigars as gifts and bombs.
The RP Classic 2nds maduros from Famous Smoke are Rocky Patel The Edge seconds in a scrumptious Costa Rican maduro wrapper.
For the young 'uns, here is a guide to the X-Outs from CI:
Rocky Patel Liga X-Outs:
A: Edge
B: Sun-Grown
C: Old World Reserve
D: Decade
E: Indian Tabac Super Fuerte

for just a hair above 50$ per bundle the flor de ybor city sungrowns area always good with some age to them.

I bid several times a month on many seconds on c-bid. My high bid is always less than $1 each with shipping. I loose 99% of the time but when I win, I get quality cigars that get rested for at least 6 months or longer and make excellent daily smokes. I smoke 2-3 a day while working and often set them down, get distracted or dropped. No problem when they are lass than a buck

Some are Punch seconds, some are not. There are many, many different types of Consuegras.

I think Tobii said he had a database as to what Consuesgra was what. This would be great to see.
