  1. Your welcome....Now you have to go back and look at the other boxes you bought. Maybe there are some older hidden gems in there....LOL
  2. 99CALL- it looks to me that the cigars you reviewed are not from 2005 but are possibly from 1997. The old FPG Partagas factory code was used pre 2000. It appears that the smaller Cuban warrantee label is present indicating an older box as well. From what I see in the pic the last letter on the date code appears to be a C which would make the box from 1997. There are other factors but this is what I think is the true box date......
  3. Be careful when giving advise, wise men don't need it and fools won't heed it.
  4. It is a given that cc's are illegal for American's to buy since 1962. That has not stopped us from buying them as you well know. The pricing as I said is incorrect. It is possible that when priced they incorrectly used their wholesale price and didn't mark up as they should have. This just a guess. Any number of things could have happened and caused the wrong pricing. A good guess where they could have been picked up was in the Canary Islands (a Spanish territory)priced in US Dollars. Of course this is just a reasonable guess. Many island territories of larger countries price in US dollars to the tourists. Go to any Caribbean Island and this is generally true. These economies run on US dollars more so then their local currencies. Bob
  5. Altadis was only formed in 1999 so there would not be an Altadis label. This box dates to 1989 according to the box code. In addition if you could see the rest of the tax seal it would say "Minsterio De Economia Y Hacienda ESPANA" This box was imported from Cuba into Spain. (That is what I originally should have said)As far as being priced in US $, It was probably sold to third party country that prices in US Dollars catering to US tourists. Of course this is a best guess. I recall a box of Mont 4's being approx $65 retail back in 1989 so that is a bit off. Possibly an error by the stock boy....lol Bob
  6. That box is real in my opinion. All labels and box stamps cooinside with 1989 time frame. The box was sold in Spain and has the blue tax label. Bob
  7. An absolutely delicious LGC Caribbean Reginal Release. Smoked half a box already in a week.
  8. 1991 Cohiba Robusto I've been looking at my last one for 5 years now LOL......
