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.

firetruckguy

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

Send an email to Andy D. at ccom. He will tell you definitively.

Those are Regents and not Master's Select IMO

firetruckguy

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.

rwheelwright

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.
