CIGARS INTERNATIONAL LEADS THE WAY WITH “NAME BRAND SECONDS”

Cigars International’s unique “Name Brand 2nds” program offers unprecedented savings on top premium cigar brands. Delivering quality tobaccos and flavor profiles as regular production “firsts,” Name Brand 2nds deliver tremendous cost savings with imperceptible differences in quality.

Most brand owners and cigar manufacturers are sticklers about quality control. That means if a cigar’s wrapper has even a slight blemish or visual imperfection it will be pulled from the regular production line. Even though the performance or flavor would typically be unaffected, manufacturers can’t sell such slightly off-color cigars at full premium prices. That’s one way in which CI steps in, purchasing large lots and offering them at steep discounts, in addition to CI’s extensive everyday selection of brands.

Cigars International’s array of Name Brand 2nds currently features over 13 different brands, with continual additions depending on manufacturer availability. The current CI lineup of name brand seconds includes brands like Rocky Patel Vintage, Perdomo ESV, Padilla Habano, ITC 10th Anniversary, La Aurora, Leon Jimenes, Man O’ War and numerous others.

“The Name Brand 2nds program has been a huge hit. In challenging economic times, customers know they can enjoy the same cigar for a whole lot less,” commented retail director Mat Cook.
