dangolf18 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I was given a monte 2 last night from some guys that claimed they were the real deal. I asked to take a look at the box date on the box and they were somewhat puzzled. Took a look at the bottom of the box and there wasn't a box code or date just a circular stamp with some words on it. The cigar burned immaculately and was really enjoyable and it tasted pretty cuban to me. Any chance they were legit? Has anybody seen that circular stamp before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Not any stamp I'm aware of like that. Remember the words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I've seen pictures of circular stamps on the bottom of boxes before, can't remember what it says, ends in '-tur' as far as I remember . Usually boxes thought to have been bought in Cuba 'from a friend'. I'm sure there is a picture of that stamp on the forum somewhere. I've never seen it on a real box. It's a common stamp on counterfeit boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Remembered. The stamp probably said 'comintur vendido en cuba' I'm on an iPhone at the moment. Do a search for the word comintur on the forum and I think you'll find your answer. Do be careful how you tell your friend. People don't like hearing this stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yes, much discussion about the 'comintu vendido en cuba' stamp across several forums. Did it look like this? Doesn't bode well, particularly if the other stamps were missing..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yep dead ringer, except i believe it was in blue. Thanks guys. Band looked pretty good but purple wasn't dark enough. Makes you really think as it was a pretty darn good smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigcars Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Did they say they bought it by the box or was it just some singles placed in a handy dandy box? I've made the rounds of plenty of locations where a "box" was just grabbed from somewhere, and some really wonderful single Habanas were placed inside of them. From what you've described, i.e., that it tasted pretty Cuban and burned immaculately...it would appear there may be some sacrifices of perfect, pristine box appearance and providing a reasonably tasty Habano. Believe me, I've been handed pristine, perfect, hologramed, heat stamped, proper date code, etc., etc., etc. boxes of forbidden fruit...the cigars inside would look ideal - and when smoked.

cigardude Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The possibility of it being fake is very high, but as long as you didn't pay retail price and enjoyed the cigar I'd say you escaped unharmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
