BigE514 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Someone gave me a couple of these cigars so if they're fake it's not that bad, this one is the worst looking one so I figured I'd post it and see what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginseng Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 hard to tell if real or fake, but that foot is ugly. packed far too tight and has some leaves (or short filler) poking out a bit.... Right. It's not possible to be definitive given these photos. Even with great photos, it's harder and harder each year. The foot does show pretty messy and tight packing. And the light stems are not desirable. But as for the filler poking out of the foot, the appearance in that photo could just as easily be a consequence of 1) the angle at which it was taken and 2) a cigar kept too dry resulting in some wrapper shrinkage and pullback. So toss a coin and smoke the thing. Unless you know the source, that's about the best you can do. Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigE514 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'm keeping them at around 67% and the thing that made me question it the most were that B and R on the band they don't have holes they're filled up but on the other band everything looks normal.

Skyfall Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've gone through ton's of these ever since the original release. Foot is ugly as sin, but it's hard to tell from those pics about the band. How do they smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigE514 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Haven`t smoked one yet and won`t be, I just saw the box they came from 1000% fake but it`s ok the person didn`t have a clue and they were given to them too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadmansPoint Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hijacking a bit, but still of relevance to the topic at hand... I've been asking around, but does anyone know if the Habanos SA stamp on the black lacquered box is ink or burned in on the 2012s? I've seen some irregularities amongst these in both construction and packaging over the last few weeks. Just wondering if a new Miami constructed shipment hit the docks.
