kzoo11 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've been trying to determine if these are the real deal or fakes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Can you provide some details on how you got them? From the initial picture, it looks fine. Maybe post a few more pics of the areas that you are concerned with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Need much better and more pics... details of the bands, underside of the box, the seal, ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor2118 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 <p sab="2044">In this case a picture is not worth a 1000 words.<br sab="2045" /> <br sab="2046" /> You need to examine the box yourself....check through the bands, packaging, date codes, box stamps, box seals, warrenty seals, logo etc and let us know (with images) of the suspect sections.<br sab="2047" /> <br sab="2048" /> You need to know what to look for yourself...and purchase from trusted sources.<br sab="2049" /> <br sab="2050" /> Do not post details on the forum, about who you purchased them from. If anything seems wroung, someone might ask you for the source by PM.<br sab="2051" /> <br sab="2052" /> BTW...the info you want is on my website.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzoo11 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 I found a site that talks about authenticating Cubans and both of the seals looked like the ones shown and it also says the date on the back should be burned into the wood, not just stamped. I'm confident that these are the real thing, but there are many people on this forum that know much more than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW...the dates should be ink stamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burtonium Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Welcome aboard bro. Might want to post a proper intro in the new member section as more people will see it. You found a good place to buy the real deal. Thank you, and you are correct. Started one already, hope to learn a lot here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If you're not sure they legitimate then they probably aren't. Why go through the motions of trying to verify authenticity after you already purchased them if you don't trust your vendor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go through the motions of trying to verify authenticity after you already purchased them if you don't trust your vendor? People are odd like that. Rob posts sometimes about people doubting him. Also, he might be American and trying to verify sticks ordered online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
