New 601 bands

[AlohaStyle]

I saw the designs for the new bands and wondered why they would mess with a classic looking design. You can judge for yourselves... :dunno:

Thanks for the pic Brian Hewitt

 

[Clint]

Does not look as good, IMHO

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

Might pop on the shelf, but I like the old one better

 

[Soundwave13]

I wasn't a huge fan of the 'old' design, but I like this one even less. (Good stick though!)

 

[Penzip]

Wow dont like that as well.

 

[Le Buzz]

Dont like em. The old ones were just fine.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

As long as I can still find the 601 Red's I'm ok with it.

 

[ninjafox99]

yeah, they look generic.

 

[SanCristobal]

god awful.

And I know so-and-so said that the Patel distribution wouldn't change Pepin making the product, looking at that packaging, I'm calling BULLSHIT.

 

[The BurgerMeister]

i like the old bands.

i didn't know about this whole Patel thing... i just started getting into these, and i hope they don't change the actual cigar along with the bands!

Read somewhere else

"The objective will be to make each of the 601 lines; Red, Green and Blue have it's own individual character and apperance as opposed to just being grouped as 601."

they took a pretty pedestrian approach.

 

[e-man67]

Terrible...old much better.

 

[D Quintero]

hmm,
econo bands, same smoke,
alright with me
:cbig:

 

[elderboy02]

I like it.

 

[ciggy]

Yea I don't like it at all...makes it look cheezy. I just hope they don't change the blends too.

 

[musicman]

they could put them in bundles with a blue dot on the outside, and as long as the price is low and the quality is the same, I am just fine with it. But the bands are ugly as hell.

Guess there were some rumors going around that the blends would change but the man himself said it would stay the same

I'm still calling his bluff. Two things I don't see working out with Pepin 1) Dropping the stick price $2 a stick and 2) working with Rocky.

In the end I agree with this. Blend is most important.
However if label is topic it's a thumbs down from me.
