H.Upmann Cigar Bands

[steelcitysmoker]

Hello Brothers!

I have a box of H.Upmann Sir Winstons that are from 2003. The band on these cigars is similiar to the Monte bands. Can someone tell me when the Upmann bands went to this type of band? I'm used to seeing the Sir Winstons with the embroidered shiny bands. Are these genuine? This is my first box of Upmanns.

Thanks BOTL!!!!!!!!!

Whatever Kevin (Tubaman) says is the correct answer. :yes:

Not being very familiar with Sir Winstons, I am curious what the answer is about the bands since many/most of the other H. Upmanns have the Montecristo type band. What say ye, Tuba? :scratchhe :help:

From the MRN book:

"The cigar band has three versions, oval golden white ones in early versions, changed to plain brown ones after the early 1980's. A small number of cigars with ordinary H. Upmann bands were produced around mid-2000."

:yes:
