diff. bands on RyJs???

[sir-smokes-a-lot]

Just got 3 Romeo Y Juliteas off a friend, supposedly they're ISOM, but they have a gold rectangle band instead of the red one (it does have RyJ on it w/ Habana underneath and churchill written on the band too).

Have any RyJs come w/ diff. labels?
Is RyJ switching to new bands?
anyone? (I believe these to be real b/c this is a guy that I trust, but maybe he was duped.)

The churchills have a different band than the rest of the marque. It's a gold band with black lettering. Looks like this:

The Gold Band Churchills are also one of the most counterfieted of all the Cuban cigars. So if your friend doesn't have a worthy source...ahhh...just and FYI.
