TBird55 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 BCG, when they went on the list to be discontinued, thought I would have plenty of time to stock up. I was so wrong on that. My last box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the 5x5s had bands and the SLBs didn't? Dunno. I'm sure someone else knows how each packaging was presented - maybe @Trevor2118 ? To my knowledge, all cigars in cardboard 5er or 3er always had/have bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have couple of boxes and few 5 pack coffins... I'd assume do something on this box as I don't think I'll ever get to them! I use to smoke more A's than I do now. They're great cigar for a herf, but haven't been to a herf since the summer (US Summer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BrightonCorgi Posted January 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2019 Here's one that's pretty rare. Punch Super Selection No. 1's with bands. Banded cabs of these cigars were made for a very short time. It's only one I have seen. My other cabs of this cigar were the heavier wood with no bands.

JohnS Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 8 hours ago, rcarlson said: I didn't think the '03 Des Dieux had bands -- at least none that I had. Oh Lord, I miss them. If purchased in Slide Lid Boxes until around 2005, yes that's right, there were no bands. Also, the bands applied on them at that time was Standard Band E. However, some images of Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo des Dieux show them with Standard Band B. How is this the case and also remember, Standard Band B was discontinued around 2003. Yes, the answer to this question lies in the fact that des Dieux was offered, prior to 2006, in Cardboard 5-packs. Usually these were popular for travellers as duty-free options. These five packs had bands on them. @Smallclub is correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
