DKHoang Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 A friend of mine has just arrived from Europe and gave me as a present a box of Behike 56. He had thrown away the outer carton box so it is impossible to check the barcode, although he said that the box had been sealed when he bought with all habnos seals. The box itself looks ok with black fabric outside. The smell is of cuban cigars. Bands on the cigars are ok I guess. However, i have suspicion that it is a fake because the cedar sheet does not fit the box (itbis juch smaller), while cigars' size and colour do not look very uniformly. I have attached some photos. I am a newbie and would really appreciate if you can help to figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayceskinner Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have looked at my box of BHK56 and IMO everything looks good so far. Maybe post a clearer picture of the bands all around as the box may have been reused. That isn't the correct cedar sheet covering the cigars but the factory might have run out and put a BHK52 sheet in instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 imposible to say based on pics,need to see all of the band,not just the fronts,and in focus...box top would help,packaging too........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Holograms appear they may be valid. Would need some better closeups from different angles as mentioned above. That way we'd know if at least the bands were authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Where in Europe did you friend pick them from? City/shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKHoang Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 He bought the box in Russia I guess. I did not ask him where specifically. Holograms and bands are real in my opinion. Here are some other pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RijkdeGooier Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have two concerns: 1. Did it come with the Behike warranty Certificate and the Habanos warranty leaf? 2. Mine line up perfectly if you line the up with the bottom of the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordAnubis Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Even if it is a fake, what are you going to do return them? Just say thankyou, smoke them and enjoy them. She'll be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKHoang Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thank you. Yes it does come with Behike warranty leaf and Habanos warranty leaf. They do not line up perfectly. But the difference is not much, I would say (1-2mm at most). They are little bit dry after the flight so I have decided to put them in the humidor first before smoking them. Hope that they will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
