I'm hardly the one to answer that question but I'm pretty sure it was the cloth bands then the paper. I know the last of the red labled bolds when they were discontined (summer 06?) were sporting paper bands.

I agree that the paper bands came after the cloth but don't know when that change took place. I had a cloth banded Bold Ole with a little plume on it last night and it was yummy!

The original Oliva "O" series with the red cloth band was the first cigar I ever had. That was what started me off in this hobby. They were amazing cigars.
