You may like the Nat Sherman Metropolitan Host ( Honduran). This seems most similar to what perhaps the point fives were.

Made by Camacho, so they should be decent.
I see this is also currently on backorder though. They were incorrect to send you the Metropolitan Maduros as a replacement; not the same thing. The follow-up seems to be a bit lack-luster.
Hope you find what you’re looking for without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

I actually contacted Nat Sherman just now and they said they did indeed just change the name, that the cigars are otherwise the same. I couldn’t argue that, but none of the Point Fives I previously bought were characterless until halfway through. I wouldn’t have continued to purchase them. Maybe the one I smoked was just not constructed well.
At least I can say CI didn’t just give me the switcharoo as I thought. And the Honduran version is as you showed and supposedly the same as it was.
Their customer service was still quite lacking though, and I see no reason to do further business with them because of that, which is a shame for me as I can’t seem to find a reasonable cost vendor that has the bulk of the cigars I frequently buy and in 5ers as well. Guess I’ll just keep looking.

Looking it over, it seems there are 3 variations of the Metropolitan. I don't think you got the 'Host'. I think it was one of the others.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
