From
The Cigar Weekly's Library:
Old Fashioned Cigars are the segundos (seconds)
of the Partagas and Macanudo lines from General
Cigar. These are the same cigars as the firsts
but when the high standards of the manufacturer
are applied to the selection process, small
imperfections are found and those cigars then
become seconds. The imperfections are usually
cosmetic, but the tobacco used is the same
as that used in the firsts.

Notes:
This is a great cigar. It's a Macanudo Portofino
but without the band and without the high price
tag. These particular cigars are a really cool
size. They are really long (7 inches) but they
are on the slim side (34 ring gauge) which
makes them look and feel really slick. People
notice when your puffing on one of these. The
flavor of course is classic Mac...Smooth and
mild. They burn for ever and they never get
hot. Now Macs go for around 5 bux a piece.
But without all the fancy wrappings these go
for about $1.25 a piece. Toss the box and the
band and put four buxs into your pocket. These
babies are one great smoke at a helluva price.
Buy 'em, smoke 'em, keep 'em on hand. They
are worth it.
