krs Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I decided to peel the wrapper off a suspect Genios because of the near inpossible draw / bad taste. as you can see theres two separate wrappers, lighter colored wrapper (not getting confused with the binder) with a tripple cap and the Maduro wrapper with tripple cap over the top. also the ring gauge if way off. the supplier insists there authentic, I call BS. what do you guys think?

dicko Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have zero expertise to add but the difference in colour, the general look of the wrapper, the fact there is a cap on the 2nd "inner wrapper'' all looks very dodgy. Hope someone helps you out with something a bit more solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, I've been through that feeling of having a stone falling and falling until it lands on your heart when you realize you've just purchased fakes.

Colt45 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow. I can't recall ever seeing someone just add a wrapper in such a fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquest63 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looks suspect to me. If they were a great deal that seals it. Recommendation: Order from the Cigar Czar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krs Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks for the input guys, lucky I didnt stock up on these, its not a big loss. They have been resting in my humidor for a few years now. I was less educated then, now days I only ever order from Cigar Czar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wowww indeed. Now that is something that would REALLY get me angry I'd let my vendor know about this and he'd better find out what happened, no matter how long it would take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disburden Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 That would seriously piss me off, they don't look good at all to be real cohibas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
