RyJ Church.. Rare find

[northernmoris]

My soon to be father-in law pulled out a box the other day.. Nice presentation.. Had the typical stickers, very clean glass top, and said Esplendidos on each side.. On the inside were RyJ Churchill's.. Nothing more needs to be said.. For your viewing pleasure, some crappy photos....

Even say Habana on the back...

At least it was a nice gesture on his part.

Your father IL or my group VP. Smile, nod your head, and say you'd prefer something milder.

 

[themoneycollector]

Did you break the news to him?

Bruce, I'm stunned. That's so...diplomatic...and thus out of character! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Nope, cause he explained to me how they were real and a gift from one of his co-workers.

To those of us new to cigars, would you explain some of the ways to detect a Cuban that isn't a real Cuban?

Anything with a glass top box is a good place to start

Just look at the band for starters.

Yep. Look at the OP's first ppics. The RyJ print is not even on the band straight. It's on a slant. Band is a great place to start on any CC, although not in stone, as CC Quality Control is far from decent.

But how did it smoke?

That is funny MIke, when I was about to be married my Father in law gave me some from that same batch along with some Cohibas. The ones I got were so dry that they were in peices.

But it is truly all in the thought.

I gave him a hug and a big smile.

 

[northernmoris]

But how did it smoke?

A. He has no humidor.. B. It smelled like spices/herbs that you would cook with..

I'm so glad he game it to me to take home and not have to smoke it there on the spot.

RyJ's had gold bands as well...not like the OP though.

Also...search is your friend...on how to ID fakes....if only someone had a linky....hmmmm!?!?
