Maron76 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wondering about these cigars because the band differs from what is on Trevor's web site. Plus they measure a little over 1/8th inch short, not sure how big of a deal this is though. Different Band A little short What do you guys think???? I also seen Trevor is looking for a band from this brand, I wonder if this could be it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren516 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Checked Habanos web site with the code from your box. The product is original from Habanos S.A. HSA: 10.6089.23.0190 Descripcion: RAFAEL GONZALEZ PANETELAS EXTRA CB-UW-C/L-12,13-n-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maron76 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Great thanks! When I checked the other day I got that stupid error message. So I am guessing they have a new band?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseo81 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 They must have recently changed them; if your box code checks out then they're authentic. I just checked my two boxes, both JUN 10 but from different factories. One has the old bands like on Trevor's website (lighter color, unembossed, with Gonzalez on both sides), and one has the new bands like your box (darker, embossed, with Habana Cuba on the sides). Even if your box hadn't had a code, who is really going to fake RG PEs anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred170 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Rafael Gonzalez have always been a rustic looking cigar. I believe they are machine made as well Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soo True.. It is a value brand and most "fakes" are geared towards the higher end brands...Cohiba, Monte, Partages etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseo81 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Rafael Gonzalez have always been a rustic looking cigar. I believe they are machine made as well In the interest of correct information, these have been handmade since 2002. But yes, they always are quite rustic--definitely don't reach for these if you're looking for a beautiful looking cigar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor2118 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wondering about these cigars because the band differs from what is on Trevor's web site. This is a new band, which I am now designating as Band B. Plus they measure a little over 1/8th inch short, not sure how big of a deal this is though. This is normal....all cigars shrink in length by 2 to 3mm. What do you guys think???? I also seen Trevor is looking for a band from this brand, I wonder if this could be it? Yes, I do need this band as well as the early type A band. BTW. Currently handmade TC (short filler tobacco) since c2002 is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor2118 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 QUESTION Has anyone seen these new bands on the Petit Coronas? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
