I agree that the paper bands came after the cloth but don't know when that change took place. I had a cloth banded Bold Ole with a little plume on it last night and it was yummy!

The original Oliva "O" series with the red cloth band was the first cigar I ever had. That was what started me off in this hobby. They were amazing cigars.

The last time I was in Magic City Cigars in B'ham, they had a box of the original cloth banded ones. They were priced well from what I remember. There contatct info is here: http://magiccitycigar.com
