New Band on the DPG Blues?

[Mark]

I stopped in a shop in wilmington, NC on my way back to Chapel Hill from Myrtle beach last weekend and saw a box of DPG Invictos (Blue) with a strange new carolina blue and cream band. I asked the owner and he said that was the only band he had ever seen on the cigar, but I have smoked many more than my fair share of these and never seen this band. Any clues?

Sorry I didn't take a picture - camera was MIA at the time.

The new Blues have a lovely new band. Much fancier and nicer looking than the old ones. As for the B&M owner, either he has some memory problems, he hasn't been in business for too long or he hasn't stocked those cigars until recently.

:tpd: The new band looks much better IMO. I think it was changed a few months ago, so the shop owner must have a bad memory.

Yup... the new ones look sharp, but I am glad I have enough of the old ones to have as a history piece. :ss

By the way here is a pic of the old style bands from some of the lanceros I have:

Got to say....those do indeed look rather tasty and the size would be just about perfect in the cold weather to sit on the porch with a nice cup of coffee! Going to have toget me some of those!! :dr

[Lucky_Hippo]

Do the new bands still have the flags on the side? I always liked that feature.

[neoflex]

What vendors carry the Firecrackers and what are the size specs on them? What do they cost per box?

[Celt]

Well it wasnt hard to miss them because I just happened to catch them on Joe at like 12:30am eastern time one night before bed. Grabbed 20 of them for $69 and the next morning when I got to work they were already gone.

:r

Where do you find those little Firecrackers?
