Cigar Seconds Explained

A big part of what makes premium cigars so unique is that they are each hand-rolled by dedicated professionals. Still, to err is human, and not every premium cigar turns out 100% perfect. If the imperfection is serious, the cigar will likely be scrapped (or smoked) without being sold. However, some inconsistencies are so minor that the cigars are still deemed sellable. These are cigar seconds.

The obvious follow-up question here is: just how bad of an “imperfection” are we talking? The answer: surprisingly small. Something as simple as an off-color wrapper can give a cigar its seconds status. Better yet, the amount of money you can save by buying seconds is anything but small.
