    if it is a 6 x 52 then the one on the left is a Master select (i think)

    the other could be as well but with a different year wrapper... not so sure though.

    I might be wrong, but the one on the right looks like a Gurkha Gran Reserve (not the infused one). It's a connie version of the Master Select.

    So both master selects....one cony and one habano? sounds good to me, thanks Gurkha freaks!

    Those are Regents and not Master's Select IMO

    Doesnt a regent have the name on the band though?

    No way man. The Regent is a boxpressed stick.
    And the bands are different.

    You are correct and the band would be a different color. Regents have green in them. They could be Master's Select but what I was thinking they are that I confused Regent with is escaping me right now.

    What are the exact vitola's? Haven't had a Master Select yet, but love me some Gran Reserve!

    They look to both be Master Select 1 connecticut and 1 Habano, of course Gurkha has tons of lines, but that is what it looks like off hand without vitola.

    Agreed.

    the master select in habano only comes in 1 of two perfecto sizes on cigar.com....
    if i remember correctly though there are other vitolas.

    ive been looking around online and a few places claim that there is no connecticut version of the master select, just a habano and a maduro. some dont show a maduro.



    all this could be solved by not having 90+ lines of cigars all under the same brand.

    I have no idea but this would make a great contest. We could post our unknowns for a chance to win ??? or just for the fun of it.

    the lighter shade is a grand reserve as mentioned above, the other could be a doble maduro or a maduro version of the grand reserve. There were only a few of the gurkhas that had these bands and had a dark wrapper. I wasn't aware of a maduro grand reserve that wasn't infused but I would be this one is or the doble maduro.
  • rwheelwrightrwheelwright Posts: 3,296 ✭
    I would make a guess and say the left is a master select. I have one of those left but in the XO size (6X60)

    Doble Maduro has a band on it that says "Doble Maduro". And the one on the right would be a Master Select Gran(no d) Reserve. The Grand(with d) Reserve is the infused stick. CI offers the Master Select in a toro size (robusto #4).

    Nope, I do have a double maduro and it does have a band that said this. I like the master select in both rapper idea.

    yes, some do have the label but the one's I have do not. The master select, dlb maduro, grand reserve, centurian, beauty, beast (maybe missing a couple) at one time all had no label but the gurkha name.
