I'm not a real fan of the AB line in general, seem to be very inconsistent, but the 2'nds I've still got, while not my #1 go-to smoke, are actually burning just fine. You can't ever know what someone else's experience is going to be, just your own. Even judging the burn. We may keep our cigars differently for all you know...the aging MIGHT affect them...who knows?
Hoyo, I'm right there with you....many years ago another famous auction site sold AB seconds they referred to as Sup. Selection....and I enjoyed them very much. And with their packaging you pretty well knew what you were getting as well as what size. ( wished I still had some of the " old ones "
The issue I have with say the Oliva seconds here is you have NO idea what line....what wrapper etc. that your getting. I've been tempted to buy some Oliva seconds but don't want a bunch of Connecticut cigars if that's what they are. And I have to laugh sometimes at other s whining about having to touch up their cigar, of course we all would love to smoke nothing but cigars that burn razor sharp, but then there's reality...I don't let the fact that I might have to touch up the burn a little on a cigar keep me from buying them again if I otherwise enjoy that particular cigar. just my .02
