The older, the better :thumbsup: I wouldn't hesitate if you trust your sourceCigarbarr said:well the vendor recommended 02's that were in stock. At least that is what was promised.
That's pretty interesting. So when the "RESIVADO" was stamped in 03, you cigars were banded then? I don't think I've heard of this scenario. The two boxes I've had were all unbanded, and all produced before the early '04 banding of cabinets.Kurtdesign1 said:I am not familiar with this smoke, despite having an 01 box in my collection. It's been revisado'd so perhaps that's the source of my confusion, but my knowledge leads me to believe that these should be unbanded, yet my box is neatly applied with them. Have I a rare box of these, or are they all more recently banded. OR... could the bands just have been applied when checked by Habanos in late 04 given that bands had started being applied to cabs afte sometime in 03? Any insite available?
EDIT: They're definately legit, I'm just curious if the bands can be chalked up to anything other than "Hey, it's Cuba."
The 98s are a bit more mellow, but still a little tannic.40boy said:I have a SUA JUN01 box (no bands-not Revisado)
These babies are strong! Very earthy and still quite tannic.
I buried them for a while. We'll see how they are in the spring.
