I think in Cuba it usually goes like this that they will use old bands even if they are officially discontinued. I‘ve had that happen on boxes that were definitely real like LGC M4, where they used bands that were discontinued years ago. 

The factory code might be the bigger issue here, but also I'm no expert in identifying fakes. 

I’d agree, it was the combination of the box codes, bands and the box inconsistency that made me question it though.

This is definitely how I like to start my weekends.

Two gorgeous boxes.

These are one of my favorite smokes. Can't wait to see how they are in a couple years.

Going a little deeper on these. Figured I would purchase another deuce in order to get me to a 50 cab. 🤣

Boxes 03756/10000 & 03757/10000.

Something different - a ten pack of Cohiba Wide Short, principally to share at my son's upcoming wedding events with guests new to Habanos cigars.

Congrats on your son's wedding. Our oldest was married a couple of months ago and it was such a whirlwind that weekend we never got to share any cigars. The Wide Shorts are a brilliant give away. They are much better than you'd expect and very accessible for someone who only indulges at weddings and similar celebrations.

BAO JUL 25 Regios.

Finally my holy trinity of Juan Lopez Seleccion No.1 & No.2, PLPC and Bolivar Belicosos Finos is complete! Also scored this beautiful vintage St Dupont cutter to go with my lighter. Too bad it can't cut anything larger than 42 ring size

Thank you, I appreciate that feedback a lot! 👍

Will it be a Big Fat Greek Wedding? Sorry I couldn't resist!

Haha, no I don't mind the question at all. Here in Australia, there were two waves of Greek immigrants that came (which incidentally led the city of Melbourne to have the largest diaspora of Greek immigrants outside of Greece). The first was during the 50s, the second was in the late 60s and early 70s. I remember going to a lot of community Greek weddings (i.e my family were invited because they would know someone that came from their regional area in Greece were they grew up) where there were a lot of people. 300 (or more) would be common and they became more lavish as time went on, especially with the catering.

With my son's wedding, fortunately for the numbers, his fiance comes from a small family that immigrated from Hong Kong and so we won't be approaching 300. Still, I think family and friends on my wife and my side is around 70 before you add the 130 that my son and our future daughter-in-law would like to invite. I believe that number of 200 is still on the 'larger' side of wedding numbers nowadays.

Having friends in Paianea and Naxos I can attest to the throwing down of food! In Naxos the open air movie theater plays My Big Fat Greek Wedding every Saturday night during peak season lol.

I was in Italy too. Got the new Punch and Ramon Allones LE from Milan LCDH and the rest in Geneva. I plan to post a download on the current inventory of the Geneva shops soon. It was not as I would have expected.

Just received these today. Fighting the immense urge to smoke one ROTT. 

[Chucko8]

Happy to grab another box of these...
