High level robusto reserva counterfeit ?

[Aznyse1]

Here is a follow up to my previous post regarding the Maduro Genios that have been confirmed counterfeit by the placement of Taino head (tnx @Cairo)

here is a box of cosecha reserva 2014 from the same trip 

please see photos 

I will say it again ,it’s amazing the high level of detail gone into these while code matching

 

on habanos website ..uv micro printed codes matching bar code on tax stamp near every detail seemingly correct 

please point out any tells you see

Thanks  all for the learning experience 

post regarding behikes from same trip to Panama forthcoming

The first tip off on this one was the 2014 box code when I believe these were released in 2018 ?

Hey--back again.   If you scroll down to the bottom of this thread you can see a legit version of this:

Note the date code:  UAO Jul 19--and as you say these were first released in 2018.

So--I agree that the 2014 date means that your box is probably fake.

Date codes don’t come with the millennium and century (“20” of 2014) no? This should have been a suspicious marking without even knowing release dates.

If it's confirmed fake it's so well made chances are the cigars might be smokeable
