  1. Hi All , I’m a new member and would like to introduce myself .I’m a 37 year old living in NYC have only recently started smoking cigars over last 2 years . I am a-bit of an extremest so I have gone abit deep into the collection aspect over the last year or so and have a lot to learn ,it’s been an amazing journey thus far and I feel like I have just landed at the right place . this forum is great and has been a wealth of fantastic information over the last few days. I really love the community aspect of it . I’m excited to join and look forward to becoming a contributing member of community . to the topic at hand I recently purchased a few boxes while traveling . at the time of purchase I didn’t know to look further than box numbers matching the habanos website on sealed boxes . I have since been red pillled and have learned so much more ,(please see the attached photos ) they smell Cuban ,their triple capped although wrappers look abit rough ,they have hidden codes on band under uv light like they should, the tax stamps seem correct, box codes seem correct ,micro print on tax stamps seem correct ,placement of stamps seem correct UV marks on tax stamp seems correct codes match on habanos website (did I say that already ) ,first thing that tipped me off when I opened was the color variance between wrappers I really don’t know at this point I paid a decent amount for them it wasn’t to good to be true . I have also purchased a box of BHK 52 ,56 and cosecha 14 with similar level of high detail, if counterfeit I will create separate posts for those to avoid confusion in all the photos Ty in advance for any insight
  2. Follow up to my two previous posts ,last but not least the apparently counterfeit behike 52 and 56s with similar high level of detail on outer packaging and boxes ,uv micro printing tax stamps matching codes on habanos website please note I was only able to examine the sealed outer packaging at time of purchase with my limited information at the time and matching codes to habanos website seemed good to me (photos all the way at bottom ) these were purchased in Panama City ,Panama
  3. Recently did a quick inventory of my 2 large humidors and found that a 50 cab of Punch DC and 10 box of Cohiba Piramides contained sticks that were damaged. It appeared the ends on some of the cigars were frayed and the wrappers seemed to be disintegrating somehow. Appreciate if anyone who has had this occur to them can clue me in on whether its a humidor humidity issue or possibly a knock off characteristic. I do not believe I had purchased these boxes from FOH and no other boxes seem to have his issue!
