Ahhh.. ok that clears it up. Where on ccom can you buy just these? Or do I have to call? I saw them on sale at ci.com the other day but by the time I went back to buy some they were gone.
Again, has anyone seen these with the different S band that is in the traditional MF band shape and not the plain white one?...is this the same stick with a new/old band? I will try and post a pic tonight

Shaun, the El Centurion was produced in 2007. It has a "C" on the band (hard to find). I believe late 2010, the Special appeared with an "S" on the band (like the one you have...). These two have similar bands, one with a "C" and one with an "S". Rob has confirmed that the Special has a new band. I have only seen it on some sites. I cannot confirm if there has been a blend change or if they taste similar because all the ones I have are banded with the large "S". The 3 pack box is different as well.

check out the "What Did You Get Today" thread... bandyt09 got some of the S's the other day, both band types... I asked him the same question when I saw them (I wasn't aware this convo was going on) and he said that he thinks they are the same, just different bands... and he is the resident My Father Whore

Thanks for the clear-up spindrift. It all makes sense now. Hopefully they are the same blend, I will check the wrappers when I go home tonight
funny thing is I had no idea what this thing was when i was smoking it.... and I honestly dont remember who i got it from but it was from ccom forum. the smoke was a great smelling smoke. the flavor was a solid med. overall a good smoke.
I was wondering about the 3packs myself. My rep did not really have a good understanding of what they were. But, said rep was kind enough to provide me with some.
Those were the original, Paul-"the El Centurion was produced in 2007. It has a "C" on the band (hard to find). I believe late 2010, the Special appeared with an "S" on the band(the red box)(like the one you have...). These two have similar bands, one with a "C" and one with an "S". Rob has confirmed that the Special has a new band(the white box). I have only seen it on some sites. I cannot confirm if there has been a blend change or if they taste similar because all the ones I have are banded with the large "S". The 3 pack box is different as well. " The new white box Special Robustos Ccom sells are different than the red box Special Robustos that exist at other vendors...the red one is claimed to be based off of the El Centurion blend and is preferred from the BotL I know who have smoked them both.
Did you get the ones in the red box or the white one?...aka: do they have the big "S" on them or the little "s"?
==>The one in my avi is the red one, the one based off of the El Cent...the white one can be found on Ccoms website under the my father boxes...its the free 3pack
Mine have the S and came in the white box....as previously mentioned by some other BOTLs are quite good. So if the Red Box ones are based on the Centurian blend then what is the White Box S Robustos blend? Rep seemed to thing they are dif than the MF original blend but was not sure.

Not sure what the new white ones are based off of, the red ones are 99% sure based off of the El Cent. They probably rab out of the red blend or it is a hybrid of part red blend and something new...the wrapper is different as well between the red and white ones
Just to note: I was informed by a VP that the big S and the small s banded sticks are different. No info was given (trade secret) about the difference. I have had many (10-12) of the large S event special and it is special. I have had only one of the small s (thanx Shauan) and they need time (IMHO). They are not as flavorful as the large S, but are a decent stick (not sure of the price point because it was gifted).
