Calling all Cigar ID experts...

[smbauerllc]

if anyone can identify the Montecristo in this pic, it would be greatly appreciated as googling images and checking Altadis website comes up empty, as does Cigar Scanner.

it measures 6.75x46, and has a shiny silver band that simply says "Montecristo" in red, with a continuous row of red dots across the top and bottom.

If someone thinks they have an idea, but needs a better pic of just the band, let me know and I will take it off and post a good picture of it by itself.

Thanks,
Sean

It looks like a Platinum from a few years back. Not sure though.

That's what I thought too, but all of the Platinums I have looked at have 2 bands, and the bands look different, so its not just as if a band came off.

Hey Sean. Here's your search string. montecristo cigar de arts

Here's your cigar. It's a CDA Platinum that was originally a tubo and looked like this.



I had a box at one time. I think my box was a little more humidor like. I may still have some of the tubos in my big tub of tubos. Too lazy to dig right at this moment.

Those boxes were quite pleasing to behold; they were meant to reflect the Arts appellation.

@Ljutic
Mine appears to be the Platinum Delacroix vs the larger Royale Delacroix.

Happen to know if they are still in production or not?

Googling it, it appears the Platinum Royales were discontinued in 2004, but i can't find any information about the Platinum Delacroix

I actually found my box online. They were Por Delacroix Tubos. And the art is as I remember it. My data sheet says I also had a another box of the same in robusto size. Both were purchased in 2004 and I presume on discontinued close out.
