Puros Y Vino Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Clean and elegant design. The black paper box over the SLB is a nice touch. As is the notched SLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, foot band wasn't part of the initial design but was requested by distributors in order to dramatically cut down on transport damage. Makes sense. In the Cuban world, the cigars most likely to see shipping damage are the Bolivar Belicoso Finos and Partagas Serie P Number 2. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a "dollar gobbler" though? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99call Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I've changed my mind on foot bands. I originally though they were clown shoes. But as William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” You could argue they are both. There is a lot to like here (packaging wise) I do like the deep inky blue and gold. But I will never feel comfortable having paint or lacquers in my humidor. They always strike me as unessessary potential contaminants. Love the design on the glassine paper, this will get copied by many other companies. Let's be honest though it's all about the cigars, and they and the packaging are gorgeous. Hats off to all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'll buy that. But FOH, after the majority ranting and railing against multiple bands, owes it to itself to make one foot band (and nothing else) the standard. We could discuss the "ritual" or "tradition" of removing the foot band, and slipping it back on the other end. Variously thought to signify renewal, or symbolic crowning (hence "corona") - no one knows for sure. Enough posts on FOH, and it becomes at least apocryphal. Save the environment, reverse band inflation, and just for some laughs. What do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
