Educate yourself on what everything should look like, the triple cap should not be your only indicator by any means.
This is not a retailer, just an informational site, so should be ok to post here, but this is a great, great authority on that topic.

Is it a cerdros de luxe no. 3? If so, I highly doubt there's many people out there faking a cigar like that.
Right.

My initial thoughts too. Can't really tell from your pictures, but at least the triple cap looks like it has nice construction, not like some cheap fake looking cigar.
It's real. I work in the print industry and I know color, embossing, and die cutting. It's dead on to the ones I have had in my possession. Also, financially speaking for someone to attempt to fake that particular cigar, wouldn't be worth it. While I personally love RyJ cubans more than Cohibas, most people don't feel that way and RyJs don't carry that price tag. The embossing dies, shape dies, and plates to print that would be too costly to make a knock off of a relatively cheap $5.00 cigar.

Agree with Kevin. Why fake something that no one would actually smoke anyway? Easier to fake something else thats not wrapped in a cedar sleeve.

Just wondering...what's causing you to question real or fake?
Yeah the Churchill with the old bronzish is the ryj I've seen counterfeited with any regularity.
