DPG Gets A New Look

[Mutombo]

I wish they would have kept the JJ maduro alive rather than spending money putting colored ribbons on the remaining lines.

 

[SSimp]

what, you smoke them with the foot band on?:bigeyes:

If ya smoke em backwards the wrapper won't get soggy.

 

[veeref]

As long as they smoke and taste the same, I don't mind a change in appearances.

Randy

BTW Craig, I finally got to the 1977 Cuban Classic corona from last summer. Great cigar

no Bueno

 

[Tobacco Giant]

Agree with others about the foot band. Do they serve any real purpose?

 

[Danilo]

looks like a fuente ripoff

I don't see it.

 

[pnoguy]

not a fan of foot bands on any stick. one more thing that has to be removed and a potential for damage.

^^^^^This^^^^^

 

[wilfredsimpson]

Does foot bands provide any kind of protection? And not the unwanted cigar pregnancy kind of protection either, but actually prevent damage.

 

[jayro75]

Look like a bunch of cheap hookers in my opinion. Too much makeup!

 

[Alwayslit]

love the new almond, vanilla, and blueberry infused blends

:razz:

....lol.

 

[vivalanation734]

Not sure how I feel about the new bands all over...

Was talking to the My Father rep last night and he was saying the discontinuation of the JJ Maduro was due to cannibalization from the Jaime Garcia Reserva line.

Yup...

If true, Maybe it's because the JJ Mad was just better... IMHO.

 

[heavyd]

Why would DPG change anything at all? It's not like he needs to fancy it up to sell cigars. It's kinda like putting sheepskin seat covers in a Rolls Royce, imo.

yup, they can prevent cracks in the wrapper from over-handling. so can cello, so IDK why they thought this was a winner. old la gloria serie R, big seal clubbing sticks: THOSE needed the foot band, and was glad when they got one. these don't need, and are not flattered by, the foot band.
