Cartierusm Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 There wouldn't necessarily be more than a few. Cuba wastes nothing that's why there are inconsistencies. Most people feel quality control was 'off' that day, but most times they know what's going on but just don't care. They would rather not waste anything than throw away a whole bunch of printing. If they caught it in time then there would only be a few and they used them.
patrick Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I am so paranoid that I probably would have not touched that box with a 10' pool.
Havana Joe Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I am also occasionaly skeptical, but I limit my "suppliers" to reputable dealers. Thanks for the tip, I will keep that in the back of my mind.
idesign Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I've had a couple out of that box and they were damn good..... ....I likes me some De Mi Tassy's :-D
Guest Warren Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 That banner at the bottom of your post is interesting . A little scary but interesting. Can it also tell if I'm wearing underwear or not.:-D
jb007 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 » Looks like something I would come across down here in South » Florida....so many fakes here i want some! haha, or at least the box... silly de mi tassy's!
kjellfrick Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Great find, Rob! A collectable!:-D I bought a couple of boxes of BGM last fall and one of them has "25 GOLD MEDALS" printed on the side! Too bad it wasn't true...
greenpimp Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 "OK, repeat after me. "De." "De." "Mi." "Mi." "Tasse." "Tassy." "Nonono! This is your problem. Repeat. Tasse." "Tassy." "Oscar! There is no 'y.' It is like 'ass.' It slides off your tongue like snake. We do again. De." "De." "Mi." "Mi." "Tasse." "Tassy." "Damn you Oscar. Go back to the sorting room."
El Presidente Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 » Rob, with all due respect, I dont agree with your logic that nobody fakes » demi tasses simply because they could fake more expensive cigars. I mean, » you and I certainly wouldnt fake DTs, but people fake coins FFS, so why not » a box of DTs? » » The problem I have with the "De Mi Tassy" is that that is a mistake an » (American) English speaker would make, not one a Spanish speaker would » make. Unless the Cubans pronounce the French cigar names the English way » You are probably right Claudius in that nothing is beyond being faked. The box in question was part of a normal shipment of Demi Tasse and of the 40 odd boxes received from PCC it was the only one printed in this manner. At the time I sent photo's to PCC and requested if any other boxes were printed in that manner I would take them ( great collectors item :-D ). Unfortunately not. Put it down t either incompetence or a practical joke where the problem was discovered and all but this box recovered. The cigars themselves were perfect ERDM Demi Tasse.
aavkk Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 haha, i dont even need Wlkey to point out what is wrong with this picture.
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Over the years we have come across tens of thousands of boxes of Habanos cigars and the one below still get's a laugh out of me. Both boxes are genuine item yet the bottom one you would swear to be a fake. In fact it is strictly a matter of poor quality control at printing. Now, this is not that common, but it does occur. The real test are the cigars themselves. A misprinted box is not irrefuteable evidence of fakes.

Smallclub Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 How about this The cigars from this box are really good.
cadillacdoc Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Another pic just to show differences in printing. This picture was taken at the fifth ave. store in July.
Ryan Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 It seems to have been a habit with ERDM. I got these in an LCDH in Europe over the summer. They're from '99 and some of the darkest Choix Supreme I've seen.

bolivr Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Huh !! Punch Punch in a box the same size as R&J Churchills ? plus of course the churchill printing is all variations on a theme....
shrink Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 How about this SC: you got scammed, the vendor knew you're weren't a Connoisseur!
