Diplomaticos No.2 band question

[ryre]

Do Dip 2s ever have embossed bands like the one on the right? I haven't smoked many, and haven't really noticed until I got 5 of the on the left (RAT ENE 21) with the non-embossed label. Checked Cuban Cigar Website and it looks like the embossed bands are only for Special Editions.

Tabacuba, the manufacturing arm of Habanos S.A. (who handle the marketing of Cuban cigars in general), is well-known for not wasting any resources in the manufacture of their product. So, if normal Diplomaticos bands are in short supply, they'll tend to 'make do' with whatever is on hand.
