cvm4 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 It WOULD be interesting to smoke one of each and see how the wrapper affects the flavor out of the same box. But other than that, definitely not something I'd like to see when receiving a box.
jsd Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I would only buy it if they alternated the presentation dark, light, dark, light...;-)
Colt45 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Agreed - not something I'd expect to see. But I will say that all else being equal, I'd prefer the lighter wrappers.

Mike33 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Maybe its the glare or what-not, but are the darker ones pressed and the lighter ones round?? I, too, prefer the lighter wrapper.
broozer Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 the lighter ones look much better.........tasty too! :-D bruce

shrink Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I was the kid who liked boxes of candy with both dark and milk chocolate. Though I preferred mostly milk chocolate. Will they make boxes with 7 light and 3 dark for guys like me? ;-)
Trevor2118 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 » » You heard it here first folks ;-) » Of course you realize that the next logical step is the "barberpole." » » » Wilkey Then..............a glass top box for presentation. :-D

brian1 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I like it. Its kinda cool..definately a once off. Prez how about a tastes test as someone suggested..Light versus dark...I would be very interested to hear the comparison.
SmokinLightning Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Those darker wrappers are pretty rough lookin...
The Wise Old owl Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Oof! Did that actually come that way from Habanos SA? I guess anything is possible... Maybe an idea for a new thread... Whats the most F'up thing you ever found in a box of genuine Cubans?
Claudius Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 » Oof! Did that actually come that way from Habanos SA? I guess so, that's probably why Rob posted it. The heads are crap, too. This is probably a box that was rejected by quality control (it has to be, unless they're colour blind), yet somehow made it onto its way to export. It's happened before...
El Presidente Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Yes....that is how they came from Habanos s.a. Diana went to oen a box yesterday morning and when she saw the wrapper differences, brought up the 10 count box of M2 to show me. I have always tried to showcase the good, the bad and the ugly. Provide kudos when deserved and brickbats when not. I like the idea of sde to side tastings. Will do one today and one tomorrow.
Miami101 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Prez this looks good! It is on my next order:
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 You heard it here first folks ;-) New from Habanos s.a is the Montecristo No 2 "Wrapper Mix" Pack! Not sure whether you prefer dark wrappers or light wrappers....NO PROBLEMO!!!! Habanos s.a has taken the initiative to give you both in the same 10 count box! 5 Dark Wrappers...5 Light. You make the decision! From that famous Spanish song.....Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
