rjake100 Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 A buddy of mine couldn't figure out what this was. It came to him as a gift. The Cuban Cigar Website doesnt have any Hoyo Regionals listed. I guess this is an unusual fake. Maybe they took the regional band off an authentic cigar?
JohnS Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 It is a fake. Since its inception in 2005, the Regional Edition Series only used marcas outside the Global Brands (Cohiba, Montecristo, H.Upmann, Hoyo de Monterrey, Partagas and Romeo y Julieta) and Niche Brands (Trinidad, Cuaba and San Cristobal de La Habana). Since 2019, when brands were re-classified, we've seen the advent of Cuaba and San Cristobal Regional Editions (but not yet in Trinidad). https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/cigar/releases#Regional_Edition_Series 1 1
rjake100 Posted July 30, 2022 Author Posted July 30, 2022 I wonder if the gifter has a whole box of them. It's a scary world outside the confines of trusted vendors.
Edicion Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 I don't know if it's more of a prank because it sort of looks like they took the band of a HDM DC plus a Cuban regional band and smacked it on a cigar.
NSXCIGAR Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Haven't seen a fake ER band before. Nice. I do wish they would use the Hoyo DC band on more cigars though. It's a classic, iconic band. Maybe this will inspire HSA.
