Probably nothing. They're still using 'Edicion Especial 2006' bands on the current production Achilles. I'm a big fan of Padilla, but he's got some pretty deceptive marketing tricks through CI (see the thread about limited production '68 Salamone Oscuros that ended up being regular production Corojo, but you weren't told until they showed up on your door). My money says it's just an extra band on a regular cigar.

Not all. Pepin only made the Miami, 1932, and 1948. I think Padilla also has a factory in Honduras to supplement the Miami factory, but I could be wrong there.
