San Cristobal box revamp

[NSXCIGAR]

Just got these RAT JUL 21 El Principe and it looks like we have a box revamp. Not sure if we'll see this on the other models.

Is the smaller graphic the revamp? If so I think RyJ and Upmann had similar revamps recently.

Hard to see but the box color is much lighter. Old had more yellow. New is a cream color, especially on the filete. Also the papeleta is now absent.

Oh yeah I see that now. I just meant it seems the trend is to shrink the graphics/images. Possibly due to all the warning labels.

Upmann Coronas Major NOV 19 vs MAR 21.

I know they have a general policy with packaging and band revamps to standardise spelling of Habana, hence the removal of "Made in Havana Cuba." They also generally remove references to the old owners, hence the "none genuine without this signature."

And yes, double logos is now standard on revamped and new boxes going forward because of countries where more than 50% of the box needs to be covered by a sticker, so logo in the middle doesn't work. Same with the double Habanos stamp on the bottom.
