Is there a set number of white dots that should be above the name? I was thinking that it should be three rows, but I do not know if this is always true. Looking at some pictures on a site and I think they might be fake.

But they have the RYJ Robusto's for $435 a box and I would fucking love to buy the shit out of those.

Thanks for the help guys.

the band on that pics of the Pyramide EL is exactly how that band is supposed to look. It's the old design with the blacks Cohiba lettering, instead of the newer gold embossing. That older design had 2 rows of squares/dots above the "Cohiba".

now to figure out if the vendor is close to legit or not.

this bothers me about them:

Online Havana Cigars offering the finest cigar brands such Cohiba , Partagas ,Trinidad ..supplied by the official distributors in Canada for several years.
Canada is notoriously expensive, since they have insane taxes and shit. Their price on CORo's is $363, which is only $60 more than Damian, who is really cheap himself. Also, they hjave free shipping, which means they're only about $20 bucks off the cheapest vendor.

I would think that this would be impossible for a Canadian vendor.

I think I have ordered from them a long time ago. I don't remember anything about the sticks. It was my first order ever. I think they were labeled as a dream catcher when they were shipped. I also think the site has been updated and that is why I did not recognize it.
