Van55 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I found this photograph of a Hoyo du Monterrey Particulares on the cataloge of I.E.P.T. -- the exclusive Habanos s.a. distributor for Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The second band... shouldnt be any "2000" printed on it? Just comparing with the picture on Trevor´s site and guessing wildly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laficion Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 '00 Particulares didn't have the year on the second band. "01s did. Correct, no band with 2000, on it, it just had Edicion Limitada on the 2nd band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the 2000 Limited Editions have the date on the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 so... an official distributor is peddling fakes, or has photos of fakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van55 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 so... an official distributor is peddling fakes, or has photos of fakes? That's a good question. One would certainly hope not. But that band EL band is not legitimate, to the best of my knowledge. And here's another question. If, as MRN says, the Particulares was re-made for a 2001 release (actually released on 2002) because so many people complained that they couldn't get the 2000 ones, how is it that the distributor is listing these on its internet catalogue as available to retailers even today? Weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird! no vintages on the 2000's because my understanding was that at that stage, the LE concept was a toe in the water. there was no guarantee it would be repeated (and i think that is confirmed as there was one early year, 2002?, where no LE's released because they didn't have it as an ongoing program and so were caught short by the success of it). it was also one of the reasons that the early LE's were so cheap in comparison.

Actually, the first 2000 EL's were released beginning in October of that year at the earliest. The ones with the 2001 band were not released until 2002 and there were none released with a 2002 band.

maalouly Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 That's correct, the particulares EL 2001 that I have, their box code is Jul 02. The 2001 edition had the year written in the EL band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
