Should I be worried

[tommy_tucka]

Evening gents. On my recent trip to Barcelona I went to Gimenos cigar shop. While I was there I bought 2 siglo II's. One a Tubo the other a single. Below is the picture of them both side by side. The left is the Tubo. Should I be worried that 1. They have different labels? 2. That they differ in colour quite a lot. Might sound silly but every siglo II I've had (around 6) they have all been more the colour of the one on the right.

The left hand one has the newer design of label.
I would say because it's been in a tube, the wrapper would retain the dark colour .
All good from me

Phew. Thanks Wayne. I thought it was ok but needed to hear it from one of you guys.

I noticed the same with the Robusto. The Tubed had the posher band.

I'm sure it's all good.
An establishment like Gimenos are excellent at doing what they do.
The lighter wrapper may have faded slightly if it was in an open box perhaps?
Get stuck in & enjoy tommy!!

It will be interesting to see what comes from the Habanos Festival in Cuba later this month, as it's the 50th anniversary of Cohiba.

I intend to. Also I've finally caved and ordered a boveda pack and will throw out my heartfelt beads. The humidity changes to often with them and I don't like that.

Should I be worried

Wrapper shades can vary a lot, there is a job at the factory where someone sorts the cigars by wrapper shade before placing them in their boxes to make sure they match. These are from different boxes and different years, and most importantly you bought from a reliable vendor so I wouldn't worry

I'm not sure how much difference a tube would make (it far beyond anything I would understand), but the below is a photo of two boxes of LFdC UK REs from 2013, both were boxed in the same month and both are obviously not tubed and you can see the difference in the wrapper. I think both were also still sealed when I bought them

That's quite a noticeable difference...I suppose with it all reliant on natural products it can't be all uniform...

What RH are your beads Tommy?

65%. But it goes up to 69ish and drops to below 60 sometimes. Thought it was the hygrometer so I bought another one but still the same result.

Bugger, that's odd. I've had issues with newish ones taking a bit of time to sort themselves out, but that's a lot of variance you're getting there. If you decide to get rid, give me a shout if you like as we might be able to sort a sale/trade out? How much do you have?

[tommy_tucka]

This one which is the second smallest they do and the smallest one. I'm going to try the boveda and see how I get on and if the work then you can just have them mate.

Cool, even for the tubes.
Well, that's kind mate, but sorry no-can-do for nothing Drop us a PM sometime if you make a decision.
