R&J Churchills

[el.barbudo]

I've been reading posts here for a few months, but haven't introduced myself. I've been a fan of cubans for years, usually get them while in Canada from the casa up there.

Question about the bands on R&J Churchills: Up till now I've always seen "Romeo Y Julieta" printed above the "Churchill" on both boxed and tubed. I just got a 10 count box of tubes (new white and red) with a box code ASB Sep 06 and the band only has "Churchills" on it.

From the habanos.com website catalogue it looks like this may be a true band, but I can't really see the added "s" clearly. There is no red band above the gold band either. Maybe these are from a transition period?

Box seals were intact.

Anyone know more about this?

I bought a single of these new tubos just before christmas. You have nothing to worry about in terms of the band.

» correct. the untubed say romeo y julieta churchills on the usual gold band.

the tubos merely say churchills, most likely because the cigar tube itself labels the brand.
