CI claims that these are real deals only with defects in so far as being too tightly rolled or blemished. I've read where others have been burned with seconds so I wanted to solicite a few opinions before I decide whether or not to pull the trigger.

Man O' Wars are great cigars. I always have some on hand. I've never tried the seconds. But I'm sure they will be fine. Probably not as good as the regular ones though. If you want to score some Man O' Wars just go to cigarbid. The "Firsts" are always on there and you can get them really cheap.
Yeah, I've noticed that even if you go straight to the purchase price it STILL represents a significant savings. Thanks for the correction on the wrapper thing........
I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Are you talking about the original Man O' War price or the slashed(not the sale price) 2nds price?Quote:

I think he's talking about the "buy it now" price on the devil site.Quote:

Yeah, that's it. By the way Ashauler.....Why did you call it the Devil site?
You have much to learn, grasshopper...Quote:

Jamie calls it the devil site because he simply has no self control...

IMHO, they are called 2nds for a reason.Quote:

I'd say 90+% were from cigarbid.
I do the same thing. :smiley37:Quote:
