DPG Blue Invictos

[MiamiE]

I found this 5x50 sample at my local B&M. Best part was the box was dated May 2008. These were old as evidenced by the faded band and yellow cello. This cigar lost almost all of it's spice, that we are all used to in the Blue labels. It was a much more refined smoke from start to finish. Very creamy cedar and leather notes with a somewhat lengthy finish. Overall a great cigar if you can find some with age or have the patience to age them yourself! I also picked up some October 2008 DPG JJ Maduro's they had.

Thanks for the review. I found a couple older blue label lanceros at my B&M. First one I had was too tight on the draw and really made for an unpleasant experience for me, but I had a similar thought that a lot of the heavier pepper and spice was gone and it was a much smoother smoke. I know it's a different size, just wanted to toss my 2cents out there about the similar experience.

Newer bands are great. Older bands are PERFECT!

I would love to find a few boxes from 2006.

Wow, has it been that long since he changed the bands? Does anyone know what time (year/month) he changed them?

bands were changed in 2007 I think? My local has the old ones and they're quite nice.

It was fall 08, I think.

I am pretty sure I saw May 08 and October 08 on the DPG Blue and JJ boxes. I'll go back this week for sure. Maybe they were flip flopped. :crosseyed

It is either 2007 or 2008. I know cello was July 2007.
