Has anyone ordered any of the 2nds that are offered here on CBID? I was looking at some of the Alec Bradley and Oliva 2nds offerings and just wanted some opinions. The only reservation I have had is not knowing which offering it is.

They're all dog rockets.

To paraphrase the ktty cat: Get off my auctions!

aka if you match up the occasional odd size to the regular lines, not only can you get a good price, you know the actual blend. Scored some tasty Tempus lanceros that way

I have gotten the Nicaraguan 90+ seconds bundle several times. For me it is a very good pool/lake cigar. Nice Nicaraguan flavor. Not super strong. I have gotten the robusto size which is fairly short so they don't last too long for such outdoor activities and if you have to toss it or it gets wet, no big deal.

the strong ssuggestion is that these are from Olivia but who knows for sure. I have only bought them on special "daily deals" with free shipping and at that price level (around $1.60/per including shipping) I think they are a good deal. Not great or amazing, but I'm not going to fire up a Padron or a CC while buzzing around the lake.

Is this another "I bought a bunch of crappy cigars and I want someone to say it's ok" threads?

Oh no, it is not one of those those type threads. Rather than opinions on topics, I was hoping to get as many smarta$$ comments as possible, kinda like the one quoted above:^o . Thanks for trying participating in the thread though. I guess when you don't have anything productive to add, just posting useless garbage helps gets your post count up 👍

Never bought seconds, I figure theres other cigars here that are better for about the same money. Only thing left to do is for you to go find what you like.

I'd go with the Nicaraguan 2nds. They are quite good and, in fact, I just scored on two bundles myself this week. Most Alec Bradleys, including his so-called super-premiums, usually have construction issues. Those who tell you that all seconds are garbage, obviously haven't triied them all.
