canadianbeaver Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The product is original from Habanos S.A. HSA: 10.7066.02.0610 Descripcion: COHIBA SIGLO I SLB-VW-GPSR-M-n-25 When I keyed in the UPC code on Trevor's site, this is what came up. However, there will be some comments on the mold on these cigars and what to do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysixtoes Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Will do. Thank you Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysixtoes Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I didnt know if they were real or not. I bought them in Afghanistan. Is that not suspect enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjansen Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Does the scratch marks beneath the box code suggest a recycled box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysixtoes Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Dont see any scratch marks. I cut the seals before taking the pics. Is that what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophidion Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 There is nothing to go on in terms of them being fake from what I can see. Unless someone else chimes in with something very obscure that I am just totally missing, then I wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjansen Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Dont see any scratch marks. I cut the seals before taking the pics. Is that what you mean? In your fourth picture did your scratch of a health warning from the back? there are visible scratch marks on the bottom of the box around the box code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophidion Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Those are really slight surface scratches and it would take more than that to remove ink from the bottom of the box. Stop scaring the poor kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop scaring the poor kid No I'm not saying they are fake. They look as real as can be. I'm just curious because I have a box of PL Panatelas that have the same scratches and I'm wondering if they are reusing old wood or boxes.

johnnysixtoes Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 It was a "smoking kills" sticker. Quit scaring me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophidion Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It could be that, it could be scratched during shipping... could be anything really. I feel 100% confident that those cigars are totally fine and you will probably enjoy them quite a bit as they look very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysixtoes Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well thank you! Haha cant wait for them to sit in the humidor for a while. They're pretty dry. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckSARTech Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wipe it off with a dry tissue. Issue solved. Unsure of why this was posted in suspect cigar subforum... Agreed on both. Eight posts, all here in this subforum - there was really no question proposed in the original post, and it's always nice to get a bit of an introduction going prior to this.

CanuckSARTech Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Oh well. After just reading the other posts, a good rule is that if you questioned them initially ("I didnt know if they were real or not. I bought them in Afghanistan. Is that not suspect enough?"), then simply don't buy them if you're unsure or unable to verify. The best way is to buy from a trusted retailer. Either that, or make sure you absorb all you can from here, and other sources, to educate yourself as much as you can so that you can better make those decisions.

Ophidion Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes they can. That mold could have been there during storage and they dried out in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
