Fuente Experts: Can You ID This Cigar?

I bought this cigar at the Manhattan Nat Sherman two Christmases ago. I remember standing with the clerk in the humidor. I asked him if he had any rare Fuentes. He pointed out some BTLs, of which I bought one, and this cigar. But for the life of me I can't remember what he said it was.

On my way to a BBQ yesterday, pawing around in my humidor, this mystery single caught my eye. Using my trusty ol' Club Stogie Ring Gauge Guide, I figured this cigar to be 7.5 inches by 44 ring. You can't see it in the pics, but the cap was finished in a tiny pigtail. The band says Gran Reserva, but the bottom border of the band is black instead of the usual green. You can see it was cedar wrapped with a black ribbon around the foot.

That's a nickel in the frame as a size reference.

Anybody know what cigar it was that I smoked?
