They may also be using a "similar" tobacco or a lower grade of the same tobacco as the O, G, etc in the FdO which may be some of the confusion?

Could be. Like I said. I didn't 100% believe it when I heard it, so I tossed it around here to see if you guys knew more, or better.

This is what I have always known to be true. I agree with the others that the FdO line are not seconds.

Flounder, you will typically find the folks who work in b&m's are simply not as well informed as those who have been on the cigars boards any length of time.

I have been on the boards for over 6 years and I have worked at a b&m for over 4 years and I have had to educate my boss (owned for over 30 years) and several that work with me constantly.
