Siglo II barcode issues

[Khimerah]

Hey everyone, looking to purchase a box of Siglo II from this grey market vendor I’ve had good luck with so far, he sent me a few pics of one box. While I’m definitely a novice everything checks out to my eyes except the barcode comes back wrong on Habanos. It comes back as a Siglo II 3 count 15 total pack of Tubos not as a SLB of 25. He has more boxes with one having a correct barcode, they seem to be 2019 stock with MINSAP stickers. Is there any possibility this is legit or is it unequivocally fake? Would a box nearly identical to this with a correct barcode be trustworthy or would this first box be enough reason to avoid? I also included a photo with another box having a matching barcode.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I'm no expert, but that would be a hard stop for me.

Habanos Authenticity check - a sufficient and comprehensive indicator of legit.

Otherwise, pay attention to the cigar heads and caps, and the wrapper. Just remember what a fake looks like.

Without knowing the grey market vendor (you can PM me the name if you'd like), I'd probably stay away. It's not hard to find a legit seal and real bands and place it on an old box/farm rolls. The Habanos Authenticity Check tool is just that: a tool. It is by no means full proof. But with that being said, I would likely never buy anything that didn't come up as what I had.
