Tubo question

[Newfie]

Thanks Tyler.

I remember seeing a $15 difference in the Siglo VI "naked" and Tubo versions. Worth it I guess if it's gonna be your first ISOM as a keepsake, but who the hell would pay that much for it!!

I agree. If you a big sig VI fan I could see getting a 3 pack of the tubes that you could reload but otherwise probably wouldn't buy them

90% of the time I find that the only difference is the tube.

From what I understand the Cubans put their absolute best of their stock into tubes then the rest into boxes. With my experience I tend to agree. I have not smoked non-cuban tubes though

OK, I've done some research and here's a more specific question and the answer may lie somewhere jiaguys post above.

RyJ cigars (ISOM's) "naked" version have a predominately red band with a white border and white lettering with some gold trim, which is actually very similar to the N/C version if I'm not mistaken.

Now, I've been told (remember the story about my wife's dentist) that the Cuban RyJ Churchill Tubo's have a gold band. Now, I've had Dominican RyJ Churchill Tubos that had a gold band. Is this another Cuban band copy, or is he confused all to hell and taking me with him??
