Opus X Forbidden

[KayakinBoy]

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)

The black band is the new band and is on the platinum gift set.

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
