joeydoggs333 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 My friend got me this box of number 4's for my birthday. He said my empoyee's aunt works in part ages factory and she sells them out the back door. He said he paid $125 for the box, which we know is way underpriced. Tell me what you guys think of this counterfeit box
Maplepie Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Factory code EAR, eh? Here's to hoping you don't find one of THOSE rolled into the cigars...
LordAnubis Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 At least they gone to the effort of putting the stickers on the box rather that inside it.
KoreanCowboy Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Actually a pretty nice job there on the box. I tried to make out your barcode and think I got it correct. Habanos says: The product is original from Habanos S.A. HSA: 10.7070.26.0191 Descripcion: ROMEO Y JULIETA MILLE FLEURS CB-UW-C/L-12,13-n-25
Blakes Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I noticed the box is made of solid wood. Habanos uses ply and has done for some time.
ZinZan Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Good fake I have to say. If not for the the price I couldn't tell at all Sent from my GT-I9295 using Tapatalk
joeydoggs333 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 After I posted pics last night my curiosity was killing me so I said what the hell, I smoked one, and wow I hate to say it but it was delicious ... If it wasn't for the box code not having a date I think I would of been fooled for sure
Dmatzkin Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 If they are fakes, they are pretty darn nice fakes!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
zepp69 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 If they taste good...Smoke em! Enjoy and happy belated birthday. 1
CUBANO Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 EAR was a factory code for La Corona factory back in 2000-2003 if I remember correctly. You would NOT have that warranty seal. I would cut one to see what they look like on the inside, dont want to smoke anything else but tobacco.
stargazer14 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I noticed the box is made of solid wood. Habanos uses ply and has done for some time. I thought the same thing but upon closer inspection you can see the ply. I looked at a box I have and it almost looks like solid wood in person. Except for a few errors, they almost look like they could be real. Who knows, maybe they did come out 'the back door'.
Maplepie Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Factory/ box code in green ink. UNDER the "totale en mano" not over. plus, the font looks a tad off on the bar code. Not the one Habanos SA normally uses. The bar code it self (black and white lines) look too spaced out to me, actually. As it it was designed to not be read by any scanner. Otherwise, like you all said: immaculate! Sent from my BlackBerry Q10 using Tapatalk for Android.
BBS Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Some of the 'back door / farm rolled' sticks are quite good. If they taste good, enjoy them. But, as has been pointed out....not authentic. Nice gesture, nevertheless......
cigcars Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 ...and what the heck's up with those non-triple caps???
fookite Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 ...and what the heck's up with those non-triple caps??? I've rolled a few cigars; caps are hard!
cigcars Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 I've rolled a few cigars; caps are hard! Well that's understandable if you're not a professional Torcedor. Professional rollers of Havanas leave triple caps. That was just my point, that these obviously are not authentic Habanos.
