Man-o-War 2nds

[FranK]

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.

These are factory selects, meaning the only reason they didn’t make the grade was due to aesthetics. Some of the wrappers may be too light or have uneven color, but they’ll still smoke well and taste great. Talk about a value, these definitely won’t last long.

It doesn't say they are rolled too tight. It reads "wrappers may be too light."

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?

FYI, the "regular price", that is slashed, for the 2nds is bullshit. That price is based on the regular, per stick price of the "Firsts." Yes they are now cheaper per stick with the "sale." But you can still get them for less elsewhere.

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

That could be.

Is that what you mean Frank? If so the box of coronas and the mega-sampler on Cbid are cheaper per stick then the 2nds bundle on CI. And that's the quick buy price, so it's possible to get them for even less.

IMHO, they are called 2nds for a reason.
