Hi guys,
My Cuban connection has brought me a couple of lovely looking boxes of cigars.
Both Romeo y Julieta, I have 25 Mille Fleurs (box dated Jul 2010) and 25 Belicosos (box dated May 2009).
I'll be offering some of these for sale. Can't give you a price yet as I don't know how much he paid, but it will be a considerable saving off UK prices.
As with the Montes that he brought back last time I cannot offer any guarantees about their provenance, but the boxes, seals, etc look absolutely pukka. They even have the new seals with holograms on them, and Cohiba shop prices and barcodes on the bottom ($62.50 for the Mille Fleurs and $160 for the Belicosos).
I've not seen a R&J band in a while but they look genuine enough too, with the embossing lining up perfectly with the printing and the colours are good.
The cigars themselves look to be superb quality, good colour, consistency, etc. I think they are probably genuine, but even if they are not completely kosher they will almost certainly offer a really good smoke.
