One more question for the night. I'm looking for the Opus X Forbiddens, and I was gunna pick up the dvd set. Well, I either see this band:

or this one:

Which one is coming with the set? I found a site that has the "black" band ones, but I thought they only came with the Cigar in the Bottle. I need a FOG on this one. Thanks.

(I figure Moki will have it answered quickest lol)

:D :D :D

Carlito has been using the name "Forbidden X" for a while -- they are just formalizing it now by making a special band.

To my knowledge, the "Forbidden X" brand and band are just used to differentiate special production Opus X-variants from their regular release cousins. Just as in the Forbidden X humidor (2002), there were non-release shaped Opus X's (such as the eXtasy) and different blended Opus X's (such as the Opus X Maduros), the "Forbidden X" brand is just a moniker they are planning to use for special-production Opus X cigars.

My understanding is that only the Cigar in the Bottle Forbidden X tobacco is aged in Calvados barrels -- the other Forbidden X cigars may be regular Opus blends, or other custom blends. Point is, "Forbidden X" is sort if a catch-all label for non-regular production Opus.
 
Thanks for the help guys. I swear Moki could answer almost every cigar question out there.

And I remember when he was just starting to learn about Super premium cigars :)
