Fact or fiction? Do cigar manf front load their offerings and switch to inferior baccy later? I can think or many examples.
I have often wondered this as well. This is one of the reason I don't think regulation in the tobacco industry is all bad. I do understand though that crops change from year to year and labels change factories as variables but I would be willing to bet there are instances where the OR is released with a higher quality tobacco then the following releases. I can think of many instances in my short cigar career that I have noticed a dropoff from the OR can only imagine how many times you fogs have noticed it.
