I'm now in possession of two VSG's, but neither of them have "cabinet" on the label, but is there a difference between the ones we have now and the older ones with cabinet on the label?

They changed the label, so the cabinet one will be the older. Let us know if it smokes better since it will have more age on it. I love these sticks, they are some of my favorites. What sizes?

I did not have the "cabinet" version. Just smoked my first VSG though, and it was PHENOMENAL, almost too much for words right now.

I misread your original post dude. You said that none of your VSG's say cabinet. I thought you said that one of them said cabinet.

Ashton has a cabinet series and they are very fine indeed. Be sure to try the Puro Sol's. The VSG used to have the word Cabinet on it, but no longer. I was trying to say that if you had a VSG with "cabinet" on it, it would be older and aged.

You have two modern VSG's and they should be amazing cigars as usual. I just got beat on a box of VSG's on cigarbid. Someone wanted them more than me I guess. I am not going to pay a price higher than Holt's for these things.

I have a box of torpedos that I am going to age at least a year. I pick up single from my local store because there is no way I can wait a whole year to smoke one of these babies. They are definitely one of my favorite smokes. I wish they were not so hard to come by.

I was just wondering when they stopped printing cabinet on the VSG's. Just picked up a handful of sorcerer's and they all have cabinet on the band.

Maybe I have it backwards. I'll have to find the old thread that accounted the changes. I thought it was removed, but perhaps they added the word.

I am not sure when they removed the "cabinet" from the laBel but I think it was just in the last year or so. I know that it used to be on there because I have alot from several different years that have it.

Thanks after looking at some reviews in past issues looks like past year or so like you said. Thanks again.

Cabinet was on the original VSG label. They removed it either Sep.t or Oct. of last year I don't remember exactly. The reasoning was the VSG, Puro Sol, and Cabinet bands all looked the same. The Puro Sol has just been changed as well. I don't believe it is changed in ads yet, but I just saw a new box and they put more red in the band.
