Newb question

Newbie_nick · 09-24-2011, 05:29 AM

Hello all!

Is there a significant difference in cigar bands between NC Bolivars and CC Bolivars? It seems like NC Bolivars that I've seen online have a golden band while CC's have a more life-like picture on the band. Is that a true difference between CC/NC Bolivars, or is that just a model difference?

Thanks all!

Nick

There is absolutely no relationship between Cuban and Non-Cuban marcas of the same name. In this case, however, both use an image of Simon Bolivar on their bands.

Also, CC bands have "Habana" across the bottom.

They taste nothing alike. The only thing the same about them is the name.

Is there a significance between the gold band and the band with the life-like picture? Is one Cuban and one NC?

As far as the Bolivar NC bands go, the two are totally different blends and cigars.

The nc Bolivar with the pic of Simon Bolivar was originally created at the Villazon Factory by Estelo Padron. They have an Ecuadorian Sumatran wrapper with Honduran and Nica fillers.

The other nc Bolivar was was blended by Daniel Núñez. They have a Honduran wrapper, Dom and Nica fillers.

Wow... So there have been 2 different NC Bolivars in addition to the CCC Bolivar? That's crazy. Thank you for the info!
