Thanks

If you're talking about the forum ring gauge, then it's basically the Rep function in vBulletin.

I believe they are father and son, but I'll have to check.

Seems they are of no relation to each other. The following is an excerpt with a link to the rest of the article...

Quote:

You may have heard of Rolando Reyes, the cigar master behind Reyes Family Cigars and the Puros Indios brand, but who is Augusto Reyes? Augusto's family has been in the tobacco business for over 150 years in the Dominican Republic, and they are not exiled Cubans like the other Reyes family who make their cigars in Honduras. For the last couple of years or so, Augusto Reyes has been producing his own brand of Dominican puros made entirely with tobaccos from the Dominican Republic...

Two questions:

1. What do the medals/coins on many cigar bands signify?

2. Does a cigar company aging mean the same as aging in your humidor? (e.g. some cigar companies age their cigars for so many year, is this the same as the aging you do in your humidor?)

Not absolutely certain, but I believe that cigar company aging mostly refers to the amount of time that the loose tobacco leaves are aged before being rolled, as opposed to aging rolled cigars in your humi. I have heard of some companies aging rolled cigars for extended times before selling them, also, though. This is one of those areas in this hobby that seems to have multiple answers, depending on the manufacturer.

1. It signifies the creativeness of the band designer for the company. Sometimes it has some family ties. Appealing bands to some means that they will buy it.

2. You have to really watch how this is worded. Some age the tobacco for say "7" year then roll it. While others can mean that the cigar has been aged for "7" years. The likelihood that cigar has been sitting for quite some time is slim except for top end, limited cigars because manufactures have to make money and the well established ones can afford to do something like that. The difference in flavour between the two will be the cigar that has been sitting for 7 years will have a marriage of all the flavours where as the the one just rolled using 7 year old tobacco will still have to rest.
