krs Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hey guys new to the forum and relatively new to the cigar world (been smoking a year or so) I ordered my first few boxes a week ago and warranty seal on my Partagas looks a little suspect, i cant see the micro text like i can on my box of Cohiba's. I dont have a UV light atm, think i might go pick one up tomorrow. what do you guys think? any opinions appreciated box stamped POS JUL 06 serial number IC 136325 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 You might want to remove where you got the cigars from. I am pretty sure the moderators will ask you or remove it for you. If members want to know they can message you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor2118 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 To krs....... Maybe you should show a scan of your Cohiba box? Also what is the date of your Cohiba box. The microprinting is getting less distinct over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The microprinting is getting less distinct over the years. The Cohiba box stamped MEL SEP 08 the warranty seal on this box has a more white, slight gloss paper. as you can see its a lot more clear when viewing full size image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa1257 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 How do the cigars smoke? Have you smoked enough PSP2's to be able to tell if it was real? I don't see anything that would make me believe they were not real from your photos. Sometimes people major in the minor details and not enough on the cigars. Do you trust your source?

SofaKing Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 They look fine to me and I too have a couple of boxes that are POS from 2006. Proof is the stick itself smoke a couple and you will know. I missed where you got them from but if you trust the source no need to be paranoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krs Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 thanks for your input guys! I feel a lot more positive than I did yesterday, the seal was the only concern. the constriction and wrappers look impressive. ill be smoking one this Saturday night, ill share my thoughts sometime over the weekend. the partagas are new to me, this will be my first stick from that label. do I trust the source? well I tried to google as much feedback from the company before I ordered and all was positive. also Rob gave me the thumbs up. also states on there webpage they do inventory checks, and spot document checks to make sure they only sell authentic Cubans. anyway must just be my paranoia since its my first international order. cheers guys!

FlyFishingDude Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 They look good. Here another spot where the micro imprinting comes into play....Not the best pic but hey. If you zoom in on your scans you will be able to see it more clearly. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
