WineAcrobat Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hey everyone! I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with bar codes being wrong for regional releases? Like the Authenticity check shows up as some other radome other thing but everything else about the cigars and the box is normal.

nKostyan Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Regional releases are no different from other cigars. Invalid code - there is a high probability of fake.One day, my friend bought some Cohiba boxes from LCDH Havana and found out that they were missing at the database. He went to the office of Habanos S. A., showed the boxes and invoices, and the next day the codes were added to the database.But this was an isolated incident...Give us at the" suspect cigar forum" photos of boxes and cigars, as well as the source of the purchase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had Petit Royales from FOH show up as Mille Fleurs in the authenticity check when showing a friend how it works. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think that someone will fake a small format, but the regionals have recently been faking often, given the high cost at the secondary market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the cigars shipped missing bands. How does that make it through QC? lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Trusted vendors are far more important than bar codes. Gray market removes them 90% of the time anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I've never seen a box missing cigars. Have you @El Presidente ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
