Trying to identify this label

[CigarCanuck]

Hey Guys,

Last week I was at a cigar lounge enjoying a wonderful edmundo. Some of the local patrons came in, and brought along a friend. This gentleman just came back from Cuba and attended the Partagas Festival. He hand over a cigar to with, and it had quite the unique band. Just want your thoughts and know if this is truly a unique cigar. The cigar is a robusto and smells much sweeter than a D4. I am hoping Trevor can give us some insight.

Thanks all for your help,

CC

Hey, seems like you could get the necessary detail if you pulled the phone back a little bit so the cam can focus.

Probably a custom for the Encuentro de Amigos gatherings.

There are a couple of articles re Encuentro de Amigos if you Google it, e.g. http://habanosnews.h...de-partagas2010

edit: also found a mention of Encuentro on Nino's Flying Cigar blog.

interesting, not sure if this is a custom or maybe a special partagas

[maverickdrinker]

this is a special cigar that is handed out at the Partagas Festival. The festival occurs twice a year. It is handed out at the dinner. Nino could probably provide more insight.

Has anyone tried these cigars? Can you comment on the flavours that you have experienced?

Basically like everyone says....its from the LCDH shop at the Partagas factory...one of their "specials".

This is just my opinion and I may be wrong but it just doesen't look right .

Hey CC - is this the post you were wondering about??? LOL.

Well, It seems that I was wrong

The band is from the XX Encuentro De Amigos de Partagas ( the friends of Partagas Festival)

held at the Partagas factory.

On the left of the band it should be marked "Cuba 2010" and on the right,

the La Casa del Habano logo.
