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.
