Connoisseur Kim Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I noticed that HDM DC band changed to typical HDM CC band like Partagas Lusitania on Ajay Patel's Instagram video. I tried to search any news about HDM DC band update, but nothing shown other than Ajay's IG. I surprised that it happened all of sudden without notice just like HUHC box got repackaged... https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhODmKnLQC/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I remember seeing someone post on the forum they got a box with the standard bands instead of the classic bands this past year. Consensus was Cuba being Cuba. Would be interesting to see what the video says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZBdano Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I saw this too. Hopefully they ran out of the big bands and it's just temporary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the classy look of HDM DC band ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Wow, if they ditch the classic band that's just awful. It's a beautiful band I've always loved (even though I'm not the biggest Hoyo fan). I actually very much dislike the new standard Hoyo bands. They're pretty lame IMO. I liked that style more with the red/rose gold with less white much more: They had just spruced it up for the Gran Reservas as well. Maybe they're waiting for the new spruced up versions to arrive? I hope? I'm still upset they cut the old Sir Winston band: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks classy and HDM DC is one of my wishlist CC as well. I bet it's just temporary shortage of HDM DC band, but we would feel sad if it's gone forever. BTW, old Sir Winnie band looks badass for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gran Reserva band really jumped out at me. Maybe it has been sharper for a year or two but I hadn't noticed until the GRs. As far as them being cut, I have seen DCs with standard band E before (presumably due to shortage) which is why I'm surprised Ajay is presenting it as if it's a permanent change. I'm hoping he didn't just come across a box with band E and he got the idea. Edit: here's the thread I'm thinking of. @El Presidente, have you seen any DC with the old bands lately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Senor Nino! Seems that it's a permanent decision from Tabacuba rather than Cuba being Cuba unfortunately ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
