Joe Cigar Selling Seconds?

[naamanf]

Thank you for choosing Cigars International! I am very sorry to hear that you were not happy with your last shipment. I can gladly set up a exchange or return for you. Please let me advise you that we do not dye cigars sometimes the tobacco can react to a wrapper. I can assure you as well these are not seconds.

From CI customer service. The "we" statement is a bit strange. Seems to either infer that they have something to do with the production of the cigars or are putting the blame on the manufacturer. Or I'm just reading into it to much.

I think that they might purchase runs of cigars the manufacturer wants to get rid of. I have some of the AB Tempus Quadrums from CI that AB doesn't show as a size they produce in the Tempus line, and doesn't taste/burn like the ones I have had from a B&M.

And then they call it a CI Exclusive,

It was a poorly written response and you are reading too much into it.

CI is just a vendor. Somehow, I don't picture Steve and Keith in the back of the warehouse with paint brushes and cans of minwax giggling "heh. let's see if he likes american walnut poly."
