The box code was SCO OCT 01-I checked it on the box before purchase.

As @encephalization alluded to - not a 2001 band. They may have dropped the stick in an older box for display.

An RE Friday with @Nate Chu C&C for a Saturday morning with this Sir Winston from 03. Today is going to be great if this cigar is anything to judge it by. What a super smooth star

First cigar of the year.

C&C ‘14 especiales. Fantastic start to the day C&C with a Monte 4 C&C time today with a Perla picked up from 24:24

Thanks for letting me know.

I'm even more pissed off now about this  purchase.

what year does the band on that cigar indicate then?

 Thanks in advance

They started using those bands around 2003. I'm not sure if /when they would have switched to the newer more elaborate 2000-teen bands.

I've git a box of MEL AGO 15 Esplendidos athat are about 2/3 current bands and 1/3 the former. I suspect that was near the end of the transition.

I am going to be in Mexico next week, but real Habanos there are expensive. Was wondering about those Dantes....
I have to check the price at LCDH

Kinda doubt you'll find any Conde 109's...

Not saying such would be too unlikely to happen, but that appears to be a "special" case of CbC (odd to have them mixed in a box of Espies...). Every '15 box I've seen (here or in life) so far, was bearing the new bands. So I'd say the major transition having been finalized by end of 2014. But perhaps other members may have different info, more '15 boxes with old bands out there?
