Michel1968 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Very nice indeed ('tough still got to get used to the new bands...)
almudawi Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Awesome cigars.. Nice pick Mate. Didn't know the came in an 899 packaging though On a serious note, why HSA insists on calling them 898s while the 10s are in reality 343s is beyond me..
adic88 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Posted June 23, 2012 Very nice indeed ('tough still got to get used to the new bands...) When did the bands change? Anyone have a picture of the old band? Interesting...
Michel1968 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 When did the bands change? Anyone have a picture of the old band? Interesting... Around 2008... not very big changes yet it has lost some of its charms and heritage. pic shows a 2007 (top) and 2008 (below) 8-9-8 band (slight variation in text alignment)

Ryan Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Great pictures. Did I read something somewhere that Habanos are getting rid of all the old family names, such as Cifuentes, from the bands.
davidsan Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I might pick up a couple singles of these this week. It's been many years since I've had enough time and patience to enjoy this size cigar but with a few days left of holidays I think now it the perfect time to relax and enjoy a couple! Great pics Aizuddin
CaptainQuintero Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Great pictures. Did I read something somewhere that Habanos are getting rid of all the old family names, such as Cifuentes, from the bands. I know they have gone form Punch for sure
Habanos2000 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Great pix of an excellent cigar! I don't, however, like the new band design. It's lost some of the heritage with the removal of Cifuentes.

nikesupremedunk Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm torn between the 898's and the LGC MdO 2's... Also, are you using the 100L or the regular 2.8 version? I was never into macro lenses but I could really use one to take detailed shots of my cigars.

owensAZ Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Porn!!!!?!?!? :Puts away other tools: Grabs Guillotine Cutter and Lighter Unfortunately I've only had the "shorts" but these looks beautiful.
shrink Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Unfortunately I've only had the "shorts" but these looks beautiful. Just imagine smoking a long short (so to speak).
owensAZ Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I'll keep that in mind on my next order. I'm assuming like most things Habana these need some rest before smoking.. Or can these be smoke off the truck like the shorts?
bolivr Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Hey Aizuddin, thanks for posting those. Please take it as a compliment I turned one into my lock screen pic, it looks great! Cheers!
