One size, a Lancero, made per someone's personal request and given out as personal gifts, does not make a production cigar last time I checked. See Steve Saka and his Liga Privada (or whatever it is called) cigar line, should Drew Estates now claim the cigar has been in production since Steve smoked the first one?

History has been re-written before, plenty a time, too bad so few have regard for it.

Let's make it easy, SHOW me a Cohiba box with date stamp prior to '80s.

(JOKE):
A husband walks in on his wife in bed with a neighbor. His wife: Who are you going to believe, your loving wife or your lying eyes?

Very on theme for the topic, IMO.

Annnnd you still miss the point. Deliberately, it seems, so I don't feel like going there.

Anyway, I have news on this "Cohiba" for those interested. I asked my local B&M about this cigar which I saw at a different B&M, and he didn't know what to say for a minute. Then it struck him I guess, and he told me that it's Altadis' Siglo line. Apparently they re-branded and re-blended it, changing the band to this 40th Aniversario band and putting it in cabinets.

OK,
Thanks.

But............
If Yugo's were made at five a year in Yugoslavia from 1970-1980, then in 1980 they go into full production for the US (thank God we got a chance to see that marvel of engineering on our roads), were they actually in production from 1970 or were they only in production from 1980, when they became available to the American market?

WTF? They rebranded and repackaged a line that was released in 2009 and backdated the labels to 2006.

Apparently. Who the Hell knows what goes on/what's going on in their boardrooms.
