What makes a cigar a "reject"?!


Question: My local tobacconist sells a bunch of affordable cigars labeled "rejects." They are full-sized, smell fine, and displayed in the humidors like all the others. Are they still alright to smoke?

SMOKE EM UP and take advantage of the $ savings
"Seconds" are "ungraded" or "unselected" cigars that didn't meet the manufacturer's standards as "firsts" due to minor flaws in the wrapper, the wrapper's color or the overall construction of the cigar itself. That doesn't mean the cigars are bad, they're just not the "up to snuff" (you'll pardon the expression). Because these cigars are still high enough in quality to sell, they're packaged in bundles and sold to retailers at reduced cost.

Absolutely.
Disease won't happen immediately.

Slightly the wrong size

Slightly mis-shapen

Small tears on the outer "wrapper" leaves

There are many reasons for a cigar to be listed as a reject ... for some very expensive cigars it can simply be that the outer wrapper isn't the same colour all over

They will taste no different, unless you are a real cigar buff, than the full price versions

Just make sure they are not ex-CIA cigars designed to kill Castro! Pretty sure those were rejects!
