Help with ID!

Picked this out of my humi. Have no idea what it was, when I got it, or who gave it to me. The small writing is in Cyrillic. Decent smoke but horrible construction.

bump- anybody? Google is not helping!

a never before seen band...i looked for about an hour last night and couldn't find anything. Google image search was a bust. even tried looking at eBay through the "cigar bands" and still nothing.

stearns · 11-12-2013, 09:29 AM

Maybe if you didn't take such blurry pictures!

but seriously, I dont believe I've ever seen that band before. I'd be curious to know what it is if you ever figure out.

hotreds · 11-12-2013, 09:37 AM

Tough to get an up close w/o flash to glare-out entire picture!

hotreds · 11-12-2013, 11:03 AM

I was hoping maybe to discover a cigar brand by reading the Cyrillic, but no luck- at least it's not a brand I ever heard of- if there is a brand in there!

hotreds · 11-12-2013, 11:15 AM

better pic!

stearns · 11-12-2013, 11:21 AM

I was hoping seeing the letters would help, but now that I see they're not letters I'm even more confused

kelmac07 · 11-12-2013, 11:25 AM

Russian?

Possibly a Bulgarian Coat of Arms.

Doesn't Russian language use the Cyrillic alphabet?

AdamJoshua · 11-12-2013, 12:24 PM

If nothing else, i have an old roommate that was Army Intelligence and is fluent in Russian and several other languages in that region I could try to pass the image on to him and have him translate it if we have no one here that can.

hotreds · 11-12-2013, 12:34 PM

I'm guessing it's eastern European Cyrillic as opposed to Greek. Now I feel bad that I smoked it!

Yup- looks to be Bulgarian coat of arms! "Unity Makes Strength." Could this be a CRA release?

CoffeeWaterBeer · 11-12-2013, 12:42 PM

My Russian buddy thinks it's possibly Bulgarian.
Closest he can figure: "United Our Rights to Drink" though maybe not "drink".

He's checking with a Bulgarian friend now, I'll update when he gets back to me.

Garbandz · 11-13-2013, 08:58 AM

Three lions rampant on a field of broccoli........Def. Bulgarian.
