Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Thats a different band.

All the gold in it.. Did they add that to the bands now?It appears to match all my other monte's what looks different?
I looked back on this thread and I see what you mean. Some pics look all white, others seem to not have the gold on the side. I've got edmundos, Petit edmundos, #4s and a sample Petit robusto, all probably less than 2 years old and all have the gold. Not sure when or why it's different.All the gold in it..

I just looked it up as well. Looks like they made the change in 2013. I like the new look.I looked back on this thread and I see what you mean.

Found this on an article on Holt's in 2019
"THE BAND
Right now, the cigar band on the Montecristo is brown. It has squiggly gold lines. The lines are bordered by white lines. The gold fleur-de-lis (a symbol of French royalty, as in The Count of Monte Cristo) is in the middle of the band, with “Montecristo” on top, “Habana” on the bottom, with white dots on both sides"
Which seems to match my newer ones.
