I have never had much luck with "overruns," "house brands,""seconds" or "knock-offs." In most cases, at least in my opinion, they are usually dog-rockets . Even though you might "save" a few dollars, it just isn't worth taking the chance. [-x

You're comparing four different things here.

House brands are products exclusive to a distributor.

Seconds are cigars that for some reason or another, didn't make the cut. For the most part, the issue is a blemish on the wrapper but not always and not absolutely.

Knock-offs are made to be very similar to another cigar. Depending upon your sensitivity to one of the components, they may taste different to you....or they could be a lousy knock-off of the original.

Overruns are cigars that were made for a distributor's order but weren't needed to fulfill said order. There are always more cigars made because of the possibility of bad cigars - blemishes, failing a draw test, etc. They are typically first quality but since the order was complete, they aren't banded or boxed to save the expense.

They are offering AJF overruns at a price lower then the quick buy price posted on c-bid on the mothership for a special this weekend, not that complicated.
