If anyone has any other notes on wrong/missing codes on the Version 1.3 sheet, please comment here or PM me. I have 2 boxes from 2023 which is after your last list was completed. Both have what looks like BGN.
LizardGizmo Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 @Malt Codes remain unchanged since 2022. Not sure if they’ll ever change again. I’ve not seen this code. Where’d you acquire these?

Where’d you acquire these? I got them in Jamaica. I’ve bought from this place before and they certainly smoke like they are real. The box, seal, placement, black light all “seem” to add up. The bands, triple cap etc “seem” to add up. There’s a lot of imperfections but they smoke really well.

I don’t know if this interaction will get removed considering there’s a whole forum here to discuss the topic of fakes but those bands are 100% not correct and the serial number spacing is consistent with what was seen with a huge Cohiba fakes situation from like 2? years ago that hit a particular gray market source and basically destroyed their business. 1
LizardGizmo Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 I’m not an authentication expert (there are plenty of folks here) but there are definitely several red flags here, as @ChicagoRob said. 1

Also, seems you might be in Kansas City. My wife is from there and we visit her parents a few times a year (I am trying to get one of the visits to line up with the KC Cigar Festival around Labor Day). Would love to grab a smoke together next time I'm there--I'll bring the smokes! 2
Hammer898 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Oh dam, the dreaded comma placement strikes again. Sorry op those Siglo are fake. If you take anything from it, the comma isn’t supposed to be in the middle. Should be right next to 'habana'. 2
Boss Hog Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Jamaica has always been a known hot spot for fakes, unfortunately.
Popular Post LizardGizmo Posted April 18 Author Popular Post Posted April 18 I have a v1.4 draft ready to go and I could use a bit of help from the forum! Can some factory code/data experts email me to look it over before I put it out? I want to make sure I don’t miss any corrections.gizmo @ lizardgizmo.comThanks in advance! Updated sheet coming in the next week or two. 6 4
