So my friend says he can get cigars at a good price. 🙄 Heard that before. I'm skeptical .  I'm gonna check these out in person tomorrow.

At first glance, yes. Those hinges are comical. The cigars look like S#!t and they don't appear to have triple caps, or even double caps. Where is the outer cardboard box? If these didnt come with the outer box, than I would shift from 99.999% sure to 100% sure they are fake. The outer box should contain the seal and factory code, etc.

I knew they were fake but I wanted to show him in person. The cigars smelled awful. I mean, like ass. No barnyard. The wrappers were terrible. Bands were way off. Box way off. No ribbon. Lots of red flags. He won't be buying from the guy anymore evidently. He has fake Maduro 5 Cohibas too. No triple cap as well and don't smell the part. Bands were laughable.
