    Yes, the two new releases have a second band. I had a little trouble acquiring them at a decent price. Apparently they were a special release for La Casa Del Habana, and that is what the second band says. The were originally released a few years back in the 5th anniversary case with 3 other sizes. I have never had a SCDLH before these, although I do have an El Morro in my humi that was graciously gifted to me.

    I think compared to other cigars I have tried in that particular vitola, it is probably my favorite. The draw is slightly tight, but it opens up after the first couple inches, and I love the flavor...but please don't ask me to describe it.

    Ted,

    The cigars where originally produced for this http://www.cigarone.com/paradise/vin...hp?idvintage=2 but were also released seperately at a later date. The 2nd band commemrorates something about Le Casa Del Habano, but i cannot remember what. I am currently looking at a Mercaderes and trying not to drool, the aroma is incredible.

    and thanks. The Mercaderes looks pretty damn interesting. The humi on that site ain't bad either.

    The Edge Toro maduro is my all time favorite smoke considering bang for the buck and taste.
    Since you like the edge also it makes me want to try the Partagas black because our tastes must be close enough.
