The unbanded curly head is much better. The difference is that the Curly Head Deluxe is Medium filler vs. the unbanded regular Curly Head being short filler. The unbanded regular curly head gets it's filler from the leftover tobacco's of AF's super premiums (Hemingway, Don Carlos, Opus) and is wrapped in a cameroon wrapper. I love the regular curly head and do not care for the deluxe.

Pardon me reviving a super ancient thread, but if the unbanded regular Curly Head gets it's short-fill tobaccos from AF super premiums, where does the medium-fill tobacco come from for the alleged lesser Curly Head Deluxe?

Since both cigars are the same blend, they get the baccy from the same source.

Yeah, from what I recall A.F. uses pretty much the same tobacco in both of them. It's all leftover stuff from rolling everything else. The difference I believe is the deluxe has a band, and the construction is a bit more refined.
