If the box is a kind of tiger striped red and black, then I think they are the cloth band. As far as the price goes, just remember they are aged cigar...and a tasty one at that, I would tell you to go for it. I would also try to talk him down a bit, may be offer him $190 for both, who knows maybe he'll bite and you can save a couple of bucks and get a great smoke in the deal.

The boxes are red and black striped. They are already 40% off so I am not sure he will go any lower. If I was sure they were the cloth band I would probably jump one at least one box. I have heard the paper band is the same blend, just the second run, is that correct?

Sounds like these:

They will have a RED cloth band.

The toilet seat box has a BLUE cloth band:

And the price being asked is more than fair.

They are exactly like the top box, I guess I am going to have to head back to the B&M.

We need to herf REAL soon, Grant!

Yeah I guess $109/box isn't to bad, cost on that box in '06 was $71.89/box. I think I'd still offer him $100 a box, he makes a little money and he moves some old stock.

These are the silk banded Olivas, and as far as I know they have been out of production since 03'.

Sounds good to me, I have some good cigars to hand out.

One box was gone when I got to the B&M, but I got the other one.

I am not going to make it tomorrow, because I am just getting over a cold, and I am not ready to smoke yet, but I should be moving into the new house next weekend, so you know a herf is just around the corner.
