Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Sorry, no pics, but recently had a couple passed my way with a shiny black band and what appears to be a gold M embossed on the wrapper. Totally drawing blanks on these. Anybody got a suggestion?

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I think Macanudo, not sure what blend though.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

The maduro maybe?

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I'm pretty sure they're not Macanudo. Seems like I've seen them in the CI catalog but a visit to their website isn't helping me.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Montesino? I don't believe their bands are black though...

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Not Montesino either. I've been through all the "M" brands on JR, Cigar.co, CI, Famous and Atlantic. no luck.

Sorry.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Any chance it might be machine made?

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I've had them too. I was thinking Maroma. I'm also thinking it's a shop brand, or a cigar accessory manufacturers brand.
I was thinking a big gold M on a dark blue band with gold edges on the band, but that's just what came to mind.

Final Blend ?

They etched a M onto the wrapper? I doubt it. Oliva is the only company I can think of that did that to the MB1 and MB2's

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I'm pretty sure it's a Miraflor by Nestor Miranda.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Reserva Miraflor

I'm the one who brought it up, but that ain't the band I'm thinking, either.
Now I think it's Madeira Cigars. Andy Madeira. I think that's who Albert went to work for for a minute.
Not sure if that's how you spell Madeira, either. :D

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I thouht the Reserva Miraflor where AndyMadera

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Yup, I thought that was the answer, too. GDW cigars and the reserva miraflor and Andy Madera.
It's not the right band I'm thinking about, though. The band I'm thinking just has a big script M from top to bottom. It's gold leaf on a dark blue or black band. There may or not be gold leaf real thin on the edge of the band.
It also may or may not be what the OP was talking about, but I've had a few of those cigars in the last few years, and I for some reason thought they came from Albert (awsmith04). I'm pretty sure he went to work for Andy for awhile, and assumed they were Andy's cigars.
All that could be totally wrong. :)

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

My bad....the M is on the label. And it's very pointy, almost like two upside down V's put together, or even moreso, like an upside down W.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Nope. I'm familiar with those.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Bingo.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

You sure it wasn't a "W"? ;)

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I even looked in my drawers to see if I still had one. No dice.
I'm sure we're talking about the same thing, so at least we aren't crazy. Or we're both crazy. :D

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Xactly. If my home computer wasn't all blowed up, virused out, malware jacked I'd post a pic tonight. But... :D

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.

At least he still has a reason to surf those sites. shilala lost his and can find it no more......:=:

(are you sure it's not a W? Did you really ask that? :r)

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

:r this made me laugh out loud.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Bizingo!! That's it, bro :tu

Know anything about 'em?

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

Glad I could help. My buddy got a bunch when he was in MN and he sent me a few. I don't really know much about them but all three smokes were pretty descent, pretty neat sizes too, all of them grew in size from head to foot.

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

I'm glad someone gets my sense of humor :r

Re: Little help with identificaton, please.
 

For what it's worth, which ain't much, I love you too, Bao.
