jwr0201 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Recently was gifted a 10 pack box of HDM Epi Deluxe from a friend and saw a label that I hadn't seen before. What is it and what is the language? Surely not a new variation of espanol! Great cigars, BTW!
xtcat9k Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Cyrillic. No idea if is Russian, Bulgarian, or whatever.
TheGipper Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 The language is Serbian. A health warning sticker. It says "Smoking kills, something something, blah blah."
TheGipper Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Funny, the Google translate apps thinks this says, "Bushings be kills. Tobacco Smoke your environment." 3

This is making me laugh so hard I have tears in my eyes! Is that a recommendation from the Serbian government? Haha!! 1
NSXCIGAR Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 That would be the language for the countries supplied by Kaliman Caribe Ltd who I assume applied the health warning stickers. Did he pass through an airport in Eastern Europe? If not, gray market vendors often acquire their stock in bulk wholesale from various distributors around the world. I've received boxes from trusted vendors with health warning stickers in various languages. i believe Mexico must now include the pictures of people's cancerous lungs and tracheotomies. Even at the LCDHs they have to keep them on the boxes.
jwr0201 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Posted March 25, 2017 Figured was a health warning. That or a cryptic ad for a Cat house!
earthson Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Unless the 'j' is a misprint, I would say not Russian. There is no J in the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. Traditionally, if someone's name begins with J such as John or Jacqueline, it is represented in Cyrillic as the 'D' followed by the "Zhe." Have always wished slavic-speaking people could just agree on an alphabet! Polish and Russian are so similar, but you wouldn't know it by looking at them side by side. Edit: I've looked it up and apparently J has been adopted into the Cyrillic alphabet, mostly to deal with all of the Johns and Jackies in the world. So, likely Russian.
