Brand Label Similarities / Inspirations

[CigarGavin]

I was looking through my humidor for a few smokes and kept finding different cigars that use other brand designs as inspiration for their label. Im proposing a thread that showcases at least two brands or lines that have a similar style or design present in both; Im interested how many there are that Im not aware of and how many the Brotherhood can find.



The most obvious in my humidor right now; Pinar Del Rio (PDR) Small Batch Reserve and Partagas Serie D No. 4

Not even close; least of the differences is the PDR being a NC and the Partagas being a CC.

Ah I'll take the one on the right. Psd4...my favorite smoke. Looks like a Mercedes to a Kia, someone's always trying to replicate perfection!!

 

[javajunkie]

FWIW, that was supposed to be abe's homage to the PSD4. nothing like it, but starting to really like them after a year!

Add in the Curivari red label to that group as well. Both knock offs of the PSD4 but all 3 are great cigars.

 

[MarkJr]

I noticed this as well, infact it got me to buy the Curivari. But I do have to say that it didn't stack up. I was not expecting it to be similar, but the PSD4 is a classic and the Curivari is not.

 

[CigarGavin]

Not knocking the small batch or PDR, after all it is in my humi . Sometimes Kia comes out with a vehicle that is decent!

Curivari also has a similar label to the PSD4 (2000 series maybe?), and the reserva limitada 1000 is one if my favorite cigars!

Padron vs Nica Libre

 

[JayD]

I would say the Padron x000 series and cc Montecristo have a pretty close resemblance.

 

[gunch]

How about the Tatuaje Unico and the CC Montecristo #2.

 

[Sin]

Tatuaje Brown and Padilla Fumas

 

[CO Smokes]

Cabaiguan and quai d'orsay

 

[CigarGavin]

The inspiration is definitely there, IMHO

Brooks, I know I should know this, but do you take your own pics? I'm always very impressed with the quality and professional appearance.

 

[Treinenwj]

Btw, yes, I realize that was a blatant threadjack! My bad...
