Romeo y Julieta 2004 EL

[KB24]

Just popped in to a local Wine store by my house as I waited for my to go order and was pleasantly surprised by their selection in the humidor. Padrons, Ashton, AVOs, Davidoffs, RP Decades, etc. Pretty good for a Wine shop. As I walked out the guy in the front asked if I had seen inside the lockers to which I said no.....He pulled out a box of Pyramids that were in Romeo box that said "Reserva" on the front. The cigar had a 2004 EL band. They screamed fake and I knew it right off the bat.

I kind of remember someone else posting pics here of a Romeo Reserva box. Is this a common counterfitted box? Has anyone else came across these "Reserva Pyramids?" Just curious.

No, they were in a cuban dress box that said Habana, Cuba on it.

Yikes. That's a big'ol red light as for buying cigars from that shop!

Too bad, too. The real RYJ '04 ELs are awesome sticks (the Ex.#2)

None were bought but their NC selection was pretty good price-wise. For example an AVO Classic #2 is usually $12 and there it was $9.99.

I didn't know they bootlegged AVO Classics?
