What were they? I suspect I will never know.

Anyone have a pic of a Connie bundle label?

perhaps private label? the seconds from Avo, etc.

I cna try to post a Consuegra bundle label

I don't know. But to this day, I find the tobacconista's assertion that they were Excalibur seconds is, on the face of it, believable. But she was kinda pretty so I'd be inclined to believe her anyway.

Once the boom was dying, the number of nameless bundles flying through the air at $1 apiece. Was amazing, and the stories used to sell them were even more amazing. It's sad that now, a century later, it seems, that we can still buy $1 dog rockets that are better than the bundles that we bought back then.

Sent that link to a buddy of mine who smokes a lot of cigars. He bought the Gordos. Big fattys. He brought a couple over this morning. Gotta say, that was a pretty damn good cigar for the money!

The Hoyo Governor's in oscuro are a damned tasty. Estello Padron was a wizard of maduro and oscuro wrapped blends.
