Ethernut Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've heard of this but never seen it for myself. I was in the Hotel Riviera LCDH by the Melia Cohiba as I was looking for a full box of Monte #2's. For some reason, Monte #2's were elusive all over Havana last week. They did show me this 15 box which seemed dirty (not new) had a break in the original seal and a new seal. Worn out price tag on the bottom. You can see both holograms as well but they look a little different. Something to look out for when buying a box. Price also seemed high for a 15 box at $241.25 CUP. Thought I'd share.

nKostyan Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Someone asked to open the box before buying, then refused. The box was returned to the warehouse, replaced defective cigars and made a new sticker. Usual business... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaclub Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 And the price is spot on. 9.65 CUC a single. (They will just times by how many in the box or carton. ) That other price is the price in their paso.

Fugu Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 There is nothing fishy about it. This is just a slightly worn carton box. Both seals are equally soiled. Two seals is pretty common for boxes that have been inspected in QC or re-opened for whatever reason (at the factory/warehouse, not in retail!). Needs not even been repackaged (as the title is implying). Wooden boxes would normally be bearing a Revisado stamp. Could possibly be found on the flap lid, but likely they didn't care... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The price for those would be $144.75 CUC. You should have snatched them up! I went to most every LCDH in Havana last month, also couldn’t find a box of #2’s. ;-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
