FYI, most of the "seconds" out there are not actually seconds. If any factory were continuously turning out that many blotched premium cigars that have to be sold at a discount, people would get fired, starting with the production manager.

Most of the so called "seconds" are often the same cigar, typically not aged though. Sometimes they will take a pilon of capa (wrapper) leaves that they sorted out because they were ugly, and have rollers make thousands of "seconds" with these leaves.

True seconds, which if things are done right, should only be a small number, hardly ever make it out of the factory, or at least not to retail. Often times these are the cigars that workers and staff smoke at the factory. Or maybe a roller gets to take a few home. It all depends on the factory.
