I did a search for this and didn't find anything. Forgive me if it's been discussed before, I may not have used the right keywords.
I've been noticing when browsing CC vendor websites that a lot of brands have different sizes that appear at a glance to be exactly the same, save for price. One example is RyJ. You can get RyJ in either petite corona, or mille fleur. These 2 sticks are virtually identical, the mille fleur may be a hair longer, but it sells for $46 less than the PC for a box of 25. That is just an example from one vendor's website, but it's similar price differences with a few that I've looked at.
I did a little bit of research, and it looks like the MFs were machine made up until around 2002, but today both PC and MF are handmade with long filler tobacco. So what gives? Does one use lesser tobacco than the other? Is it a factory prestige or roller experience thing? I'm curious to know the true reason for this.
FIY, I actually have a 5 pack of RyJ PCs and a 10 box of MFs, so one day I will smoke both and decide which I prefer.
