El Presidente Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Real or Fake. The box in question is the " Lemon" one. Box code? The Cigars? 1
Optic101 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Real, they just forgot that box for the last 5 or 8 years years lying behind the window in the sun. Well aged cigars
mike74 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Send it over and I'll check it for you properly...
Puros Y Vino Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Hmm.. The trim looks right. The ringed wood pattern on the background looks consistent. The way the Habanos sticker bisects the corner looks haphazard. It's possible the color variation is due to the paper being at the beginning or the end of print run where the inks may not be calibrated?
GasGuy82 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 No box code either? The blue appears to be a different shade also. However, the cigars seem to look OK.
shrink Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Looks like a real box of Partagas de Partagas No. 1 from the late 1990's. I have some in my humidor.
BrightonCorgi Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 They look like nice cigars FWIW. Good job if they are fake. 1
busdriver Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Those wrappers are way to consistent in color for Cuba.... Fake! ? 3
BeerPimp Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Real. But it is just a guess on my part because I am fairly new to CC.
Ethernut Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Real because they are quite literally sitting atop a mastercase (to my eyes). Rob just unloaded them.. still, crazy quality control. The Lusi’s do look on point tho. I’d smoke em!
Derboesekoenig Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Let me smoke....about 10 of them. And then I'll let you know ?
Ritch Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Out of interest are the master cases sent via air mail or ship?
dobbs Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Real, I have a “lemony” box procured as PSP on 24:24 and the cigars look amazinf (have yet to smoke one). Mine are ASO Mar 17 though. (not sure if rhese pics are gonna upload) -dobbs
dobbs Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 The box actually looks “yellower” than the pic above shows -dobbs
zyxwvu44 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 They certainly look tasty...And i would guess if they came in the package with the rest of them...real with Cuban quality control.
earthson Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 I'm gonna go with realio. They even have that orange hued wrapper I prefer on my Partagas. When is the big reveal?
BarryVT Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 This is tough one, say real based on cigars look good. Based on habanos label, post 2004, without seeing dop can't tell if post 2009. Without looking at date code, would look for micro printing on warranty seal to see if pre 2011. Date code bothers me but Cuba quality control sends out lots of crap! Tough call without having them in my hands to inspect closer
Alexw33 Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 The cigars look good, Cuba being Cuba I’d guess.
wineguy Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 I am going with real based on how the cigars and the rest of the box looks.
