docbp87 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Is this in the suspect cigar section because you think these may be fake? Some of them do look fishy to me...
tjhernandez34 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Especially the CoRo's. Cubans don't come in plastic wrapping and the warranty seals should have the bar code on the side and not on the top...
DLGSXR Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 THESE ROBUSTOS FACTORY CODE READ 2010 LOL IF I WHERE YOU I WOULD GET WITH THE PROGRAM AND PURCHASE A BOX THAT IS NOT OLDER THAN 2 YEARS
PLUSH Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 THESE ROBUSTOS FACTORY CODE READ 2010 LOL IF I WHERE YOU I WOULD GET WITH THE PROGRAM AND PURCHASE A BOX THAT IS NOT OLDER THAN 2 YEARS What program? Not sure I ma following you here.
FireDigger Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I wonder what is the box code on those Partagas Piramide ELs?
tjhernandez34 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 2010's are a great year and they smoke well young, but if I were you I would look at Trevor's site to help with the packaging specs for the years you purchase. I would pay close attention the warranty seal placement. http://cubancigarwebsite.com/info-packaging.htm#BoxSeal
dochowl Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Especially the CoRo's. Cubans don't come in plastic wrapping and the warranty seals should have the bar code on the side and not on the top... I've seen quite a few boxes on craigslist recently with the warrantyl seal flipped around like that. Not a good sign. You have to believe if they can do anything consistently in Cuba, that would be an easy one. So I guess the question is, does the barcode check out on the habanos.com site? I'm quite interested.
dicko Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 HELLO WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! NICE TO MEET YOU! lol mkz
maverickdrinker Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 uuummmm, First off, welcome to the forum. It seems that the way that your cohiba robustos are uniquely packaged. Many of us have been purchasing cuban cigars every year and have yet to see this kind of packaging. I have boxes of cohiba robustos from 2008, 2009 and 2010. All directly from Cuba and purchased at LCDHs. Never seen this kind of packaging.
Fuzz AI Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Woohoo! CoRo's in skrinkwrap to keep in that just rolled "Cuban" freshness!
craigos Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 The Partagas EL and the Monte EL DCs look "too round" to me - these take on a "box pressed" look after 10 years packed tightly in the dress box.

cigcars Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 *Bless your heart - and the white tissue strip going along the middle of the cigars I thought were supposed to go all the way around them in the box, not just be cut to sit loosely across. I thought. I could be wrong.
BradNC Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I've received a few boxes from Czars and some have ribbons around all the cigars and are also wrapped in tissue that lines the box. Some of the other boxes that aren't cedar just have a strip like that across the top with a cedar floor between the layers. I'm not an expert by any means but just what I've noticed.
jerseyjay Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 hmmm ... way to introduce yourself to the forum
CanuckSARTech Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 *Bless your heart - and the white tissue strip going along the middle of the cigars I thought were supposed to go all the way around them in the box, not just be cut to sit loosely across. I thought. I could be wrong. Janet, a lot of boxes (look through my CanuckSARTech's Cuban Collection thread) have just a small-ish strip of tissue paper (ie - Monte 4's). Generally, these are just in there to cover / run along the row of cigars overtop of the cigar bands. It's for sort of ensuring that the bronze-like finish that they use now to emulate the golden embossing on the cigars, to ensure that it doesn't rub off and overly oxidize against the paper papleta flap on the inside of those semi-dress boxes. Depending on if there's a cedar insert in there or not (if it's a whole sheet), then some boxes have a whole sheet of the tissue paper between the cigars and the cedar. But, some boxes of the semi-dress style just have a tissue paper strip.
rp99pts Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Those Cohiba's look just like the crap a guy from NYC was selling on Craigslist...
kiwirwe Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 i do like the wall unit you got your cigars in :-) And welcome to FOH!!
