Calling FOH Colombo's: Punch Noblezas

[El Presidente]

What are the chances 

 

 

[JohnS]

Haha...the chances of someone passing off these cigars as genuine, albeit with newish Punch bands? Of course, it goes without saying!

The chances of these actually being genuine? Zero!

[NSXCIGAR]

Chances are zero on this one.

Nice box though.

[rckymtn22]

Bands and cigars look too new. The logo on the box shows RE and the bands have FS that might be a red flag too. More of a chance a real box wouldn't have bands.

Just one more thing…?

Bought on ebay In an empty condition within the last few years

This is the real head scratcher. There seems to a never ending stock of original unused stock coming out of the Florida region. Is this a mega load of salvaged material?.  Or much like 'Catch Me if you Can'. Is someone running the right paper stock through vintage machinery?

I knew you would have the detail Stefan. 

I recalled seeing that empty cab for sale and hence this thread today. 

There are only two explanations. 

1. Fraud 

2. Personal cigar Genie

Genuine Pre rev and 1900 is out there. But not in these places. That's the saddest thing with these wankers and all their bullshit, that they are giving the market the impression miracles don't exist...they do.  

Don't loose the faith people the cigar Genie is real, and magic does happen.

Whatever Punch model that is I also don't think it's whatever vitola the Noblezas were. Kind of sticking over the lip a bit. I can't find any info in any historical record of a Punch Noblezas or its vitola. Probably very old.
