All God of Fire cigars are adorned with two bands. The main band features a dramatic color rendition of Prometheus bound to a huge rock and attacked by an eagle for having stolen fire from Zeus and given it to mankind.
The second band signifies who blended the cigar and what year the cigar was made. Carlos Fuente, Sr. and his son, Carlito Fuente, have blended the God of Fire cigars. God of Fire by Don Carlos uses the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper whereas God of Fire by Carlito, Cameroon. We are absolutely honored by the special blends created by the two legendary cigar makers. In November 2011, we added the third line: God of Fire Serie B. God of Fire Serie B comes in four sizes: Robusto and Robusto Gordo 54 in the Ecuadorian Sun-Grown wrapper, and Double Robusto and Gran Toro in Connecticut broadleaf maduro.
In the second band, we also put the year of production. “After the harvest, the fresh green tobacco is hung in curing barns where their moisture is allowed to evaporate slowly. After over 6 weeks in the curing barn, the leaves gradually turn to a beautiful, rich shade of brown. The cured tobacco leaves are then fermented - after which they are aged for years before the Fuentes consider them ready for their finest cigars. Even though the cigars are made with aged tobacco, they have to be aged again after skilled torcedors rolled them.” (Journey to Chateau de la Fuente)

Nice. I have always wondered what the story behind the guy being mauled by a huge friggin bird was. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
Prometheus was actually a Titan. Sorry, I am a Greek mythology nerd.
What I know from looking at my boxes...
The box says 2006 but the bands say 2007 and the box says aged 2 years. Same thing with my box of Serie B. Bands one year later than the box and says aged 2 years.

Let me check my box and records and I'll let you know how the numbers work out. Woot for being OCD.
