I don't know... your guess is as good as mine. One of the stranger things I've seen in some time.

I've seen Fuente make funky Opus X cigars, but I don't remember them making new bands for any of them. A sign of things to come?

So how did you get them to take the pics?

They were made in the Fuente Opus-X Factory. They are most assuredly some oddity produced by Fuente Opus-X! Here is a link to Vitolas, which is a site that specializes in rare Fuente Cigars. There are many, many photos there, including several of the cigars posted above! Enjoy the site, it has many amazing pictures!

I wonder if Moki has heard of this so-called "Vitolas" site? :whistling:

Johnny, that is Moki's own site you are linking too. He's the one who started this thread :laugh:

Someone should really tell Moki about that site.
And this really great game called Escape Velocity, the only reason to keep a non MacOSX computer alive.

That's a slice!
Well all the photos are there and described as having been taken on tours of the opus-X Factories. Maybe the photos of the two cigars he posted, were from other sources and show on the site but are not actually Fuente Cigars. If that's the case, I may have not read that section clearly. I'll have to check it out!
Johnny
Add-on, I just checked the site and pictures of the cigars he posted are in the top, right side link about rare cigars, on the 2nd page. They appear to be Opus-X Cigars to me!!!

Fuma Lo Que Te Gusta
Those smokes seem to have a musical instrument design to them, knowing how the Fuente's often have a themed cigar line it would not suprise me if that happend IMHO. ??? Very interesting wrapper combination will probably cost an arm and a leg and be in limited supply and high demand. Thanks moki, I always look forward to all of those great pic's and information. :thumbs:

Like what you smoke, smoke what you like
Is it my imagination or do the different colors look painted on instead of being different tabacco leafs?

I don't think so... I think the "X" band is a big clue actually... I think I have a pretty good idea what's going on here. I will advise once I've investigated more.
As for the cigars themselves, no, nothing is painted on, all of the spots/stripes are from different tobacco leafs.

Is it just me, or do they look a little box-pressed?
edit: the bands look almost "celebratory"
Maybe the birth of a child, or a wedding perhaps?
