dangolf18 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have a Montecristo No.1 from a friend whose father used to smoke. It has a pre-2003 band. Band looks very old. Is there anyway to tell if it's from the 1980's or early-mid 1990's? Will post a pic in a little bit. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yes,you can send it to me and I will carbon date it.This proceedure is 98% accurate and and only requires the destruction of 98% of the object tested. Please include a gamma-safe return container and US funds in the amount of $3000.00 and your BATF user number,along with a photocopy of your last paycheck and your mother's maiden name.

Profmd Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Trever's website is a great place to look. If you can't find it there, probably never existed! http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some pre-1940s bands for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangolf18 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 BTW that's a Monte 4 on the right (from 2010). I thought Monte 1 were longer, so wondering if you guys think it's a Monte 1 (can't think of what else it could be).

Habana Mike Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The band on the Monte was the same for quite some time. I find the older the cigar, the band tends to turn to more of a purple cast and the lettering yellows. That's about the best I can do.... Here's a 1982 Monte #1 - I'd say yours is most likely a Monte #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks. I received the cigar back in 2009 and my friend's dad had stopped smoking 17-18 years prior (what my friend told me at the time). So I'm thinking it's probably early 90s, but could very well be late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
