Partagas 170?

[phlee]

I got a couple of these sticks handed to me yesterday and have been trying to identify them but have not managed to find out much

 

Appreciate if someone could educate me.

 

These are huge sticks

They are regular sticks. The second band is from Encuentro de Partagas 2015. I would say the cigars are from the same year.

The upper one should be a P2 but not with that band.

Other members will help.

Thanks for your input... the shape and size seems more comparable to the bushido I have. Much larger than a P2

Here are some pics of the actual 170 humi

I think Bart is indicating they are fake.

Not at all, just pointing out what actual 170 humi looks like ?

I smoked a 170 labeled custom Maravillas roll the other day....two different animals

So... what are the OP’s cigars then?

Not sure, sizes don't look like regular production but hard to tell from the pics shown

The 170 band is a very generic band placed on reg production sticks and customs at some dinners, festivals, etc

I've no idea how things work for the festival cigars, but there has been a Partagas Rodolfo, 170, Sublime......

One of those just popped up on Reddit. Can you give any information on it?

There are two types of cigars mentioned... not sure which you're referring to.

These are from the Partagas 170 Aniversario humidor. 56 x 170mm. Official release from Habanos SA, available worldwide. Numbered humidor of 50 cigars. 450 released. 

A rare, multi-thousand dollar collector's humidor. Unlikely that a genuine example would "pop up on reddit", but could probably find one at an LCDH or high end store somewhere.

These are a 'special' cigar in that they would have been made with first class tobacco, and the blend would have been specially created by a senior Tabacuba master blender, and would have gone through a tasting panel and so on to create something unique and special.

These are custom bands produced by the LCDH at the Partagas factory in Havana.

They were placed on both custom rolls sold in their store, and on various regular production cigars. Some of these were repacked into custom humidors from local craftsmen, some sold as singles, probably some in various other boxes.

Most would have been purchased by tourists in Cuba, but there is a good chance that the owner of a B&M someplace bought some and resold them.

The cigars aren't "fake" in that they're not pretending to be anything they aren't, but they aren't an official product from Habanos SA. But in terms of being special, they are either just whatever regular production cigar they were put on, or whatever custom roll they were put on. They wouldn't be the same standard as from the official humidor.

I had quoted Bart's post with the pic of the custom band, which was what I was referring to, sorry if it wasn't clear. Thank you for the info, that's really cool to know.
