Hello everyone, Not sure if this is the correct location for this post. Apologies if it is not.
I am trying to figure out if these Bolivar cigars are authentic. The box has all of the correct stamps and markings, Holograms, and wood embossings. However when I go to run the barcode number on the Habanos website I get a strange error page full of code. Upon looking more into this I find that the stamp has micro codes on it that should match the number below the barcode? I took some photos with macro setup and find that the micro numbers do not match the barcode number. How is this possible or am I missing something. I thought the point of the hologram was to stop the counterfeiting of these wonderful cigars. Can anyone shed some light on this and tell me if in-fact these are authentic Bolivar cigars. The three section cap on this cigar looks a little messed up as it had just been cut.
Thanks in advance.
