leoan Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 These were acquired through a popular site that I found over at /r/cubancigars over on reddit. (Before I learned how to acquire CC's through LFTH) Thing is the barcode was removed when I recieved them in the mail the other day. Can anyone confirm for me? They are a 10ct box of HDM Grand Epicures, and a 10ct box of Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios. The Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Grand Edmundo looks good - Swiss vendor. Genios is troubling. Where's the wax genios insert? The cardboard box? Why is there a white Habanos strip on the top right corner? - never seen that before. Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cardboard box was there but not pictured, the cardboard box also had the serial tax sticker and the Habanos band on the upper right corner. What do you mean by the wax genios insert? Is it the large piece of wax paper pictured under the piece of thin cedar that says Cohiba on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's either a plastic/ wax paper on the inside of the box explaining what a Maduro 5 is. Slightly larger than the storage conditions instructions. Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 How old is the box? Box code please? Take a picture of the feet of the Genios, please? Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My Genios box from Prez has the Habanos sticker on the box just like in the pics. It looks legit to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My Genios box from Prez has the Habanos sticker on the box just like in the pics. It looks legit to me I may very well be mistaken, then. On my computer, the box looks nice and pristine. hinges, sticker, wrapper, bands, caps, wrappers, printing, cedar insert. everything looks good to me at this moment.

Cmontoya79 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Looks legit, light one up. If you've never had habanos before, not sure if that will help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4z00k4 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Trust your source. If you bought from a site that was popular on /r/cubancigars, I seriously doubt you have anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The shade on the wrappers look pretty unison in color, which is usually a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm curious to know how one would know the Grand Epicures (Edmundos?) came from a Swiss vendor.....missing barcode? No obvious marks/stickers I can see. I've seen cut barcodes come from other locations as well. However, the Shield on these is misaligned and not folded in the middle, not that that doesn't happen on legitimate boxes - just not supposed too.
