Deja vu....

Something similar was posted about a month and a half ago (can't find the thread right now though).

Sometimes boxes like this are as fun to display as the real ones. Don't throw it out.

Well the wrapper looks nice Why not try sampling ONE and seeing how it is. But yes it does appear to be faux/feit/knockoff!

I smoked 3 already and they weren't bad at all

Ultimately that's all that matters.

Where are you from ? I bought a box from a guy in Vegas. These are fake 100 percent... The wrapper is so thin. Give them about two months the entire cigar will crumble in your hands. I would burn the box as I did. Who knows what they put in these cigars. If you look at the labels they are counterfeit. The green on the main label is way off and the stamp on the bottom of the box is not correct. The bands are not correct either. I buy all of my cigars from Rob or in Canada depending on what I am buying. Also if you look at the cigars in the box the wrappers go from dark to light to dark to light, they are all shades of colors. I have never seen a monte box like where the wrappers are various colors.

Look at the serial on the label on the box. The number doesn't even check out. You can't even enter it on the habanos checker. IF these were high end Montes there is no way they would not check out on the serial checker.

Real Monte vs Fake Monte Label

The labels could both be real or both be fake. The only slightly off thing in that picture is the chunky stamp on the bottom of the box behind the labels

That's what I mean; the bands are sometimes identical to the real thing, sometimes the real thing are used on fakes too.

Your fakes have a copy or real standard band B, I've A,B and C and the variation/quality is crazy.

[galtline]

Yeah I see what you mean. The proof is in the smoking and for some they have never had a cuban. The fakes I bought were the equivalent to a swisher sweet. Absolute 100 percent crapolla. Live in learn.

The cigar on the right is a Monte # 4 09. Amazing batch of cigars.
