I went into a shop and they had them in box's side by side and the new ones were a dollar more per stick

Depending where you are from, maybe this was a tax increase? I recently had that happen (from New York). 75% FML

I have better stuff to worry about than a manufacturer changing their band style.

MajorCaptSilly · 01-01-2011, 12:56 PM

The old bands had too little of the color of the smoke. I had to look at it for a while to see if I had a green, blue, or black. These are much easier to read. They kind of look like an old style band. Don't love and don't hate either.

Absolutely true, which also holds true for 95% of every post on the site. It's conversation, just looking for opinion. I don't recall actually anybody saying they were worrying about it, just wondering what people opinions were is all.

"Cartoonish" is the perfect way to describe the new bands, although I don't like the old bands all that much either. On the old bands the 601 seems hidden, and they could have emphasized it better without resorting to the style of the new bands.

Looks like the cost of the band may come down a bit.

Four Colors, embossed. = big dough
Three Colors, non embossed = plain band, less money.

Maybe the cost of the cigar will come down. Just sayin

I am sure it's money in their pocket. But the concept is right.

Or maybe they are off setting a production price increase. Change to a cheaper band so that the profit margin stays the same without having to raise the price of the cigar.

My only rant is they discontinued the 601 Black which is/was a fantastic cigar.

thebayratt · 01-05-2011, 05:58 PM

The old ones are better, but could give two pennies less. All I care about is the smoke.

01-06-2011, 01:16 PM

They are nice!

KenyanSandBoa · 01-06-2011, 01:23 PM

Definitely not a fan of the new bands...they look too generic for me.

jsnake · 01-06-2011, 07:56 PM

Who cares about the band? What matters is the tobacco underneath. Eddie Ortega did announce a price decrease on 601. I don't mind the new bands at all. Makes them stick out and are much easier to read and see. They looked great at IPCPR.

Well, that's why I asked the question. If you notice, I didn't say it was a bad cigar, just wondered what other thought of the band.
