These were from 05 or earlier and were the original blends of the Serie O and O Maduro. The "Grand Cameroon" was the original G's. We went from the cloth bands, to the paper red and blue bands, to the current bands. When the band change was done, we simply began putting the new bands on the same cigars that were aging.

The blend that has been removed from the line was the O Bold, which was pretty much an O with some extra ligero in it.

The O Bold rocked!! If you can ever get your hands on one of the small Ole's you will see what I mean.

Very nice find, Scott. The cloth bands are quite classy. I have a few of the Maduro's from a split last year. They are quite tasty. Enjoy.
