I don't think the blend has changed. I think it's the just the bands and packaging that he revamped.

I have one original left Anthony I'll send it to you when I sens your package out.

Thanks Bro.

A good cigar for the money.

Ya Adam I know that's what they've said but my BIL's and I did our own little side by side each smoking the same stick....and then the other and felt the "new pkging" blend seemed more med in body and not as spicey if you will.

I dunno sir.....good to see you BTW

Pepper in a DPG?! That would be odd... [sarcasm]

I am a fan of Blue..old and new.. Great smoke..

Yeah, I dunno either.

Just a thought, have you compared aged old ones with the new ones? This cigar mellows out a lot with age. I actually never liked it fresh or even close to fresh, thought it was too rough and unbalanced, then someone passed around a 6-7 year old one at a herf. Night and day difference, it had become a very subtle and smooth cigar. Besides the obvious changes that occur in crops from year to year due to weather patterns, I wonder if these might be older tobacco.

Again, just a thought. Next time I run into Frank (one of the reps out here), I'll ask him.

You must have real ones down there. Only good one we have is Ed Ryan our region CRA rep also reps La Palina and Bulldog (or something like that, crappy sticks).
