Cloud Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 First photo you see are two Sir Winnies. The left one is suspect, got a box from an online vendor and the second one is a single from a LCDH. Box code checks out. Wrapper in the suspect has black spots everywhere almost as if the leaf was diseased or something and there is a puncture on what could be a beetle hole? The photo with the loose triple cap also has some sort of green stain on the band, I have seen these on other boxes from the same vendor. The last photo the far left is from the same bad box and noticed the cap has black lines on the cap creases. Cigar foot comparison, suspect is compactly rolled bs LCDH is more loosely rolled. For those Sir Winnie smokers have you seen a quality this bad on such a prestige production cigar? Or are these real suspect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I have a box that are suspect. Everything appears legit, from the box, labels, box code verified, black light test, packaging except some of the cigars that are suspect. I am a novice, but I have received several boxes of other marcas recently and these by far are the worst quality. There is barely any aroma. Some of the cigars the wrappers are starting to unravel and there is no pliability it tears like a very thin piece of paper. I compared the cigars in the box with a single I got from a LCDH and it is by far the best quality compared to the rest in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElPuro Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Looks to me that the wrapper is inside out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitola Corleone Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 What is the date on the suspicious box? In a thread on vintage quality, several people were saying that in 2017 and 2018, Habanos had a hard time getting large leafs for super premium wrappers on SW, esplendido, etc. Could be that your box is legit but affected by this problem.
