Gurkha Centurian and Master Select Sultan?
Options
I got these two a while ago in Sultan size, but I can't tell which is which, since they both have the red Gurkha band. One has a cedar sheet wrapped around it, but the other doesn't. Which is which?!

Based on my research of the Master Select in other sizes, I think the cedar wrapped one is the MS.
-
thats what i thought as well... but, i got a trade or bomb recently... with what I thought was a cedar wrapped MS, but it turned out to be a special size of the centurian.

The plot thickens......

I have never seen a cedar wrapped Centurian.
That's kinda cool.

Every Centurian I have ever smoked has had a second band on it, that says Centurian...

None of the 30 centurians in my humi came with a second band that say centurian.docbp87:Every Centurian I have ever smoked has had a second band on it, that says Centurian...

My recent order of Centurians had a second band. Must be a new thing.stephen_hannibal:

I'm fairly certain it's new. Nightmaremike sent me a centurian that's 1 or 2 years old from the movie trivia pass. His didn't have the band, but the newer ones that I smoked had the second band.stephen_hannibal:

In any case...so the Centurian Sultan is the one that's cedar wrapped? -
No dice on some preliminary google images searching. I don't have experience with either of these cigars so I'm no help.
Maybe post pics? -
I will need to smoke it to tell the difference. I will pm you my addy. No I have seen plenty centurian and have never seen one ceder wraped. I have also seen master selects that were not wrapped in any ceader. But I would gamble on the MS. If one is smaller it would be the MS since all cent. are 6x60 and the MS has three different perfecto sizes

can we see a pic?:p

Actually, if you look around, the Centurian is available in two vitolas. The perfecto, which I love. And the sultan, which is more like a toro, that I haven't smoked yet because I still can't figure out which one it is. But it's the same size as the Master Select. I'll try to get pics up later.jship079:I will need to smoke it to tell the difference. I will pm you my addy. No I have seen plenty centurian and have never seen one ceder wraped.

I actually just found the link! And it's on CCom. One of the older samplers that's still available. http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?prod=SP-GHASST21-3kuzi16:
