If you can spare one, be happy to send something in return

No reaction under black light so I'm assuming fake. Anyone want me to post them one?! Don't mind sending a few on for fun.

I’d definitely be interested in trying one mate

The photos are low res but the cigars don’t look fake to me. Had a fake recently I can confidently say the proof is in the smoking.

okay, that's 5 takers, that'll do! pm me your addresses and I'll post!

Just waiting for one more address before I do post office run, I've chased via pm. Might be a mini Sussex herf to smoke these - 3 of us live close. I have a busy weekend so possibly posting next week.

4 bombs away, 2nd class cos I'm cheap, one of you lives 0.6 miles away so you're net getting yours until we meet for a herf!

The other of you who is local relatively close we'll have to sort a smoke soon.

Enjoy.

Also I put a blacklight on the label and nothing happened. But I did the same on the label of some hdms and also nothing happened so I have no idea...

Anyway let me know your thoughts

Mine arrived today - many thanks. Attached some photos comparing the 'fake' with what I am sure is a genuine (80's) vintage Ryj Churchill. The genuine is on the left in each photo. I will let the 'fake' rest a few days in my humidor and will then give it a try.

Sweet, let me know how it tastes. I enjoyed mine, but I only smoke because it makes me look cool really.

Exactly right amigo! His looks bigger than mine though-mine is a petit corona

[PeeJay]

Mine arrived safely thank you very much

I smoked one today and whilst my palate is not refined enough to say whether this is an RyJ or not, several clues point towards it being Cuban at least. It's well constructed as evidenced by the layers visible in my close up and it definitely draws like a Cuban. Mine needed a poke with the Perfecdraw to open it up. The taste was very mild as you'd expect with a touch of bitterness towards the end. The balance of probabilities suggest they're genuine, just not well looked after.
