El Presidente Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am guessing that if you line up all the bands from your box 1-25 and put all the writing together it would say: I Have an uncle who works in el laguito and can get Cohiba's very very cheap for you e-mail me miguel@ faux cohiba .com .es Best Quality!

Any » significance? first off, i like your name. well done with the arrested development reference. ... i dont have any writing in mine... or that i think. I really dont pay attention. I like the smoke more than i like the bands. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuma Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 » Has any one ever noticed writing on the inside of your bands? Any » significance? Hmm... I have just checked a stash of bands from Cuban cigars recently smoked (all from trustworthy sources) and of a couple of Fauxibas brought by a friend in a visit to Nicaragua ($5 for 5 robustos, he does not smoke cigars and was being cheaply nice... ). None of them had any writing on the inside. What did you read in them? Now... perhaps we are seen the dawn of Chinese Fortune Cigars with nice proverbs and advise in the back of the bands!

Bob Loblaw Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Unfortunately I did not keep either of the two bands I've noticed this on. I can't even remember which cigar I saw the first one on was but the last one was on a PSD4 (the authenticity of which is beyond reproach). The number 385 was hanwritten in ballpoint pen on the back of the wrapper. The previous cigar also had a 3 or 4 digit number which escapes me now. I will keep my eyes open and if I come across this again I will post a photo. Thanks Goran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wise Old owl Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I remember seeing the number 48-52 on a cigar band before, on the outside part that is lapped over when the band is applied. I assumed it referred to the ring guage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorscheC4S Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I remember seeing something similar on the backside of a SLR DC band while listening to "Stairway to Heaven" backwards. "Here's to my sweet Saint Luis." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacmedic Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 wow, speaking of coincidence....found the number 400 handwritten on the back of a VR Famasos band just 2 days ago...had never seen it before and was wondering about it...and the vendor is beyond reproach:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Siglo IV gifted to me by a trusted source that had the letter "E" written on the inside in blue pen. It's currently buried somewhere in a glass jar of bands I have up on a shelf. I'll see if I can carefully remove it with out messing the other bands up and post a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasaSoho Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Rob - While looking through a few items the other day, I found this band again. I was wondering if anything ever came of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Has any one ever noticed writing on the inside of your bands? Any significance? I have never, ever, seen this on any of my habanos. Only time this happened to me was when, on purpuse, I got myself a box of Fake H upmann Mag 46 just to check out the taste, They were pretty bad, anyway, there was no marking on the band but on the cedar sheet inside there was a no. marked in yellow chalk. Rob, It would be quit interesting to see what HSA has to say about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
