Okay, I only had one LFD Factory Press II, and so I never smoked it. Then I came across a 5er--problem solved! The 5er looked the same as the one I already had (Smoked one, loved it.)

I was going through my other LFDs, and noticed that I have 2 different sizes of cigars that say simply "Factory Press" on them, no numerals. One is a ginormous 6x60 type size (looks the same as the current FPIVs) ... I'm actually smoking my last one now.

The other "Factory Press" sticks I have, like 4-5, are much smaller ... basically the same size as the FPIIs I have ... but again they just say "Factory Press."

So was there a 2nd release of the original Factory Press that was smaller? Or perhaps the first run of the Factory Press IIs didn't have the "II" on the band?

I do now recall that when I bought these there was something unique about them, but that could just be because at the time I bought them I had not yet smoked an FP1.

Actually, according to my local LFD rep they do not do business with the big internet auction sites. And when they find out their stock is being auctioned they research and find which authorized distributes are selling to the internet sites the cut those accounts.

How do they get away selling them here and at that not so famous auction site?

I have a double press, similar size but it doesn't have a 2ndary band. These have the 2nd band that says "Factory Press" but are the same size as the ones I have with the "Factory Press II" band.

Factory Press II — 6 1/4 x 54

Factory Press III — 6 1/4 x 58

Factory Press IV — 6 1/2 x 60

The FP labels have Factory Press on them with numerals for everything past the OR.

Agree with ntoben these are probably Prensados which were done in a shorter format, similar blend. 5 1/2" x 54 which sounds like it accounts for the size difference.

Did these Prensados say "Factory Press" on the band? Also, these are like 6 or 6 1/4 x 54-ish.

Okay, do you know what year they came out? I purchased these because they were purported to be "Factory Press Is," so I'm wondering now if it's even the same blend.

basically...other unscrupulous vendors will sell their allotment to others. And that is why LFD reps track down who is doing this and pull their accounts when they can

Got it thanks.

TIGER

Thank you! That's good news. I like the blend, but the OR is a bit big, this size suits me better.

You must try them, and keep them around for times when you have a couple hours!!!
