New Band on the DPG Blues?

Mark · 11-27-2008, 11:04 PM

I stopped in a shop in wilmington, NC on my way back to Chapel Hill from Myrtle beach last weekend and saw a box of DPG Invictos (Blue) with a strange new carolina blue and cream band. I asked the owner and he said that was the only band he had ever seen on the cigar, but I have smoked many more than my fair share of these and never seen this band. Any clues?

Sorry I didn't take a picture - camera was MIA at the time.

The new Blues have a lovely new band. Much fancier and nicer looking than the old ones. As for the B&M owner, either he has some memory problems, he hasn't been in business for too long or he hasn't stocked those cigars until recently.

The new band looks much better IMO. I think it was changed a few months ago, so the shop owner must have a bad memory.

Got to say....those do indeed look rather tasty and the size would be just about perfect in the cold weather to sit on the porch with a nice cup of coffee! Going to have toget me some of those!!

Yup... the new ones look sharp, but I am glad I have enough of the old ones to have as a history piece.

By the way here is a pic of the old style bands from some of the lanceros I have:

and the new one I copied from CI:
