Does anyone know when RP started putting the bands on his Edge line?
This past weekend I bought a box of Missles. I usually buy singles of these, but was able to pick up a box at the Rez for $75. The singles I buy have always had the band on the foot. I had heard that the band was a somewhat recent addition to fight off fakes. I removed the celephane and opened my new box to find that none of the sticks had bands. They taste fine, so I am not worried about fakes - but it made me wonder, how old might this box be?

I don't know when they would've started putting bands on but I know I've never bought any with bands and the last time I bought any was probably about a year ago. Not sure if this helps or not.

They did start putting bands on The Edge last year to combat unscrupulous distributors. The new "Square Edge" does not have a band. My question is : you had cello on an Edge? Never seen one of those.

Sorry, I meant cello around the box, not the sticks themselves.
So the band on the foot is a rather recent thing?

I don't really see why someone would want to try to sell fake Edges, they are not that expensive of a cigar.:?

They're like $4 or $6 right?
With no sort of identification...
If you had a box of non-selling unbanded $1.50 sticks...you could pop them in the empty Edge box and sell sell sell...I could see a bunch of unscruplous store owners trying that garbage.

Isn't Rocky selling his on fake Edges? :?
