CI Knock Offs and 2nds

[Dijit]

While I cannot vouch for CI knock offs or seconds I regularly get the Alec Bradley seconds from famous smoke shop and they are so close in my opinion that without bands it would be nearly impossible to tell the difference. Especially if you are aging retentive like me and let everything or almost everything cure for at least 6 months before smoking them.

One BOTL sent me one of the 4.2" X 34 "Pequeno" size Cohiba Knock-offs in a sampler pack awhile back. I've since purchased a couple of the bundles of 30. They're not exactly the same, but similar to the Red Dots. A nice quick smoke for the price.

I have the Red Dot version on my list as those little cigars can be had for under $2 in bulk, and I've figured going smaller may be better than going cheaper (but also for a quick smoke), but some have mentioned they were ho-hum and so I'm not as inclined as I was.

I do have the CAO Karats on my list to try next month as I know I like the Gold Robustos. But the Red Dots are actually a little bit cheaper in the small cigars but more expensive in the larger cigars...
