BRC LFE October 2009 Band

[jman]

Just got a perfect box of BRC's, but was wondering if their bands had Cuba on the bottom? I thought only special releases came with that marking on the band. What do you guys think?

The bottom of the band should say "Habana". Check out Trevor's website...

I have not yet had a confrimed case of the RE band being used on standard production cigars. It could be an error, or it may be a planned update of the band. Several of the Cuban bands have been updated to include the word Cuba.

Lets wait and see what others report.

When I was in Cuba this winter I purchased a box of BRC LRE Mar 09 and at the bottom it still says Habano. Like alot of other FOH'S say if you purchase your cigars at CZAR this problem of doubt usually goes away.

I have no doubt that these cigars are real, the tubos have this band, so my thought is that they changed the regular production as well. They taste great! This box is from late 09. Has anyone else had a box of 2010 yet?

I presume you mean Special Editions, not "tubos"?

Trev, I believe he means the logo (band replication) on the new tubes. Check it out at this great site:

Just to clarify then, was this a Box of 10 at's or a Box of 25 untubed?

That is a great site

The tube I have, while it has "Cuba" on the tube logo, the cigar itself has a standard A type band (no "Cuba")....but I don't have a date available.

Here is the Info

Standard Dress Box of 25

All of the cigars had the special release band, which seems different

The Box Date is october of 09

They taste great!! Just wondering why the band is different?

[ColKurtz]

I have '09 tubos from a reliable source with the extra wording. Maybe they consolidated the band, or got confused? It's Cuba.

[jman]

Personally, I like the special band better, who knows? I was just interested to see if they merged bands.

I too have Tubos with the the extra colorful Habana Cuba band. LRE JUL 09. Extra dark wrappers but spongey and not as good as dress box RCs I've had in the past.

The october 09 was fantastic out of the box, it super rich, burn was off, but it didn't matter

It has now been confirm and the website updated.

Thanks for your help. The Cuban Cigar Website is the best out there, I was checking it out before I became a member of FOH. Happy smoking
