Question New in the jungle and already a pest! (cig ID question)

Hi all,

I came across an intriguing cigar (from a friend) but despite extensive searching online in various
"cigar label art galleries" I can't seem to identify that brand!
Maybe it's a ridiculously easy question so please don't bite the newbie...

Here goes:

Label carries a medieval shield with red and silver fields over two crossed swords.
Bears stylized golden characters "RS" and says "GOLD" on a silver banner below it.
A golden griffin and small text reading "Imported", "Hand Made" on each side.
Background from top to bottom is the Spanish colors with red flowers (?), then Steeler colors (gold and black)

Subject is a Torpedo, about 6 1/4" x 50 or 52.
Wrapper is natural, gorgeous light brown, hardly any veins.
I'd say medium-full body (keep in mind, newbie speaking!), very smooth, some spice.
Very easy to draw, nice smoke, not too strong... but gave me a nice headache the next morning!!
It *should* not be Cuban considering the source

Does anybody know this stogie?
I did take pictures before smoking it but maybe they won't be necessary.
Besides, isn't this more challenging?

Thanks!

I think it's fairly safe to say it is not Cuban.
It could be a local/house blend that might not appear on the Internet radar.

Re: New in the jungle and already a pest! (cig ID question)

Thanks to those who tried! I'm really puzzled by this cigar and I take it from the few answers I got that it's not just because I'm a newbie...

Gonna try to find out more about this stick, I really liked it. In the meantime I'm posting another picture of the entire label.

It is a Royal Silk Gold torp... The guys on the Dogwatch Social Club podcast have done a review in the past... I have a Churchill sitting in my humi that I've yet to try.

Here's a link (click)
