I was looking over the Graycliff special and noticed 2 of the cigars have an additional band with R2 on them. What does this mean? Different blend or just new labels?

Reserve 2000 ???

I was going to post the same question... so I'll just thread-jack this post... LOL

Same here, two of the three have the "double" band with Y2R on it.

The "single" band cigar seems not to have as much embossing on the band as the "double". The "single" band wrapper is also a little rougher and darker. Even a little ploom... :o)

I have a few Graycliff's that I bought a few years ago and they have the "single" band.

What is the difference? I have only noticed this with the Red label Graycliffs.

Anyone know ???

Ugh, I have yet to receive mine!

Haven't received mine either. Shipping these via PP was a very bad idea with the upcoming holiday. If it's not here today, then I have to wait until Monday. Who knows what kind of damage the USPS has done to it by then.

They will be fine... The cigars are packaged in the Plastic travel tubes, so they will stay safe.

Good day C-bidders-

The reason we had to use Parcel Post for this item is there is a torch lighter included. Some of you already know the sensitive nature of lighters and how they must go with a ground service. For those of you that were unaware, you have now been briefed. Please be patient, the specials are in transit. The Postal Service will be working Friday and Saturday, so hopefully some will hit homes right after the holiday.

If anyone has any additional questions, let us know.

Regards

Yeah Roger, but what about the second band? 🙂

LOL @ Trish ... you go, girl ... that's the way to bring him back on topic instead of letting him threadjack like that ...

What Trish said...

Who cares about how they're shipped...

What's the difference(if any) with the gars ???

Hey

I was just responding to the transit time questions concerning their orders. Who cares about the bands. Did that sampler have cigars in it? I just thought the picture showed cigars to lure more people to over-bid. :o)

If you guys put up 1000 of these samplers with 3 Graycliffs in each... you must have gone thru a lot of stock. Do the different bands mean different batches of gars??

I think C-bid is stumped!

Got mine today, I like USPS pretty well. The Graycliffs were packed in the tube foot side first,one of mine was a tiny bit scrunched at the foot. No biggie. The Bahia was packed head first, being a Torpedo, and was pristine. It actually looks nicer than the Graycliffs'.

Just one band on all of them. Wasn't expecting, or worried about getting two. Besides, I just got bombed into submission by BuckyB93 today. I will be trying the Graycliffs and the Bahia after some humi time.

Doooh, now I feel like an idiot.

Two of them have a wider band, not a second band. The wider band says "Y2R" on the side. These cigars are 5 3/4 long. The single regularly banded cigar is 5 7/8 long, and is showing some nice bloom.

Mine arrived in good condition. But the delivery guy put them in my screen door, and when I found the box, the wind had obviously blown the door open and busted the door frame. Boy, is my landlord gonna be pissed.

Oh yeah. Only had the regular red band on mine.
