bossman3 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 A friend just came back from Vegas with a box of mixed supposedly cubans......my question is, does Montecristo sell a box pressed open series cigar? Also, he had an Anniversary Cohiba Maduro. I told him to check the band out because why would the word Habana be half way covered.......hmmmmmm.

Colt45 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 ......my question is, does Montecristo sell a box pressed open series cigar? The Open series does come in dress boxes, so box press would not be unexpected. (Cuban cigars which are box pressed actually get that way from being "squeezed" in the box - not intentionally pressed prior to being packaged} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srbbones Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I have noticed that some CC that come in dress boxes are more "box pressed" in terms of their shape than others. I, also, am not aware of any CC that are specifically put through specific "box press" proceedures. I remember a BRC that I smoked years ago that was pretty square.

Lotusguy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Do you even have to ask? Considering the background, 100% fake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I only know of two establishments in Vegas that offer CC's. 1) They don't sell them 2) They don't give out whole boxes 3) They don't have Monte Opens 4) I know and trust their vendor.

canadianbeaver Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Not sure if that Open should have the band with the gold fleur in it. A new Monte 2 would though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaBeKD Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Been a while since I smoked an open eagle. I recall it having more of a tapered end. Bellicoso style. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The Open shouldn't have that band you can check here http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/brand.aspx?brand=Montecristo Not sure if that Open should have the band with the gold fleur in it. A new Monte 2 would though, A new Monte 2 wouldn't have the new band, only the double edmundo and petit 2 currently have band D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 .....only the double edmundo and petit 2 currently have band D I'm not sure - I think that might be because they are 2013 releases, and Band "C" was discontinued in 2012. I don't know, but would assume all "current" production would use Band "D" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I read the release info too but haven't seen anything with band D apart from the new releases, to be fair though my only 2013 Monte releases have been Monte #3 boxes, and no one loves them at HSA Trevor's site only shows (I think) band D being used on the petit 2 and DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If the plan is for all Monte to have band D eventually, as implied, I'm guessing Cuba still has a stockpile of multiple millions of Monte bands to use up first too. I would guess that the first allocation of new D bands would be on the Open series before anything else when this does happen though....shiny shiny!
