There are many cigars that hit the market as inexpensive and turn out to be great cigars. They fly off the shelf and can be hard to find. I would think that the smart thing to do would be to use the same blend, change the size just a little bit and relabel it as a much more expensive cigar. Has anyone ever suspected this has happened ?

I wouldn't say inexpensive but the last one that blew me away was the 1502 Nicaragua and it was $7.50. I only mention this because in that price range I thought it was phenomenal.

FSS exclusive Capoeira became The Judge.

It's also one of the best smokes out there.
Have you had any construction issues with the judge? A little iffy on Fuego's quality control. The blends are good, jut the construction can be inconsistent on his core line.

I actually haven't tried the Judge. I just know that Capoeira is an absolute all-time favorite and would be a steal at double the price. Beer had any construction issues with them.

My understanding was that The Judge was the same thing with a different band/name so if that was the case it gets my full endorsement!
