SCgarman Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 These are not mine. They were posted on another forum. Are government seals placed directly on Cohiba Esplendido and Sublime boxes? The Tabacuba box seals are all placed next to government seals, instead of under them. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 You will see the routing seal on a legit box occasionally, but the alignment and repetition of them is a red flag. The Cohiba should have the seals on the outer cardboard box. Someone was too perfect when doing this wrong.............. at least all of the labels were not tossed into the box !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 The guy who bought these most likely flushed a lot of $$ down the drain. They didn't look right to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've acquired a number of boxes that were SW'd (usually with a boveda) - and they were perfectly legit (from reputable sources). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattb82 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Same here about the shrink wrap. I have purchased many that have come shrink wrapped from an extremely reputable source. Not saying these boxes are legit, I just don't think shrink wrapping means fake by itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonW Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Alot of reputable online suppliers ship you boxes that they shrink wrap in house with a boveda packet inside. This is to guarantee fresh cigars incase your order decides to take the "scenic route" when its on the way to you. If those were shrink wrapped glass top boxes, then id run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugu Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 3 hours ago, bb360 said: Agreed Gents - it is not just the shrink wrap - by far not. This thread had been done by Nov. But just for the record - most "reputable online suppliers" usually vacuum seal or zip-lock instead of using this type of heat-shrink normally applied to books or technical equ. packaging, which is even not particularly gas tight...
