Won a 5er on another auction site... it was advertised as an Alec Bradley, a different version of their Raices Cubanas, simply advertised as a Raices Sim....

The cigars that showed up don't have the Alec Bradley name anywhere on them... the top band says "Fabrica de Tabacos" "Raices Cubanas" and the word "Raices"... a foot band reads "simbolo"...

They dont look anything like what I've come to expect from AB...

Anyone know what these are? I'm sure I'll smoke one and find out what they are, but curious if anyone has seen these...

Simbolo is probably 'asbestos' in Spanish

The old AB 2nds sold here in the OR 15 count bundles (coronas) were great.
