Smoker Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hi all, A friend of mine just received a box of these as a gift. The reason I am questioning the authenticty is that I thought that Piramides were only available in boxes of 10. Do they look real to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 They are fake. Available in box of 10 or 3x5 tubos. Band is also wrong, maybe more things wrong but I just had a quick look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thanks for the replies. It pretty much confirms what I suspected. What's wrong with the bands though? I know the photos aren't great, but the bands looked reasonable to me. Also, could it be that they were available in the past in boxes of 25?

The only boxes of 25 I’m aware if are the fakes being sold online. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Everything about this screams fake, I’m afraid. And the bands are very bad with a close look. As just one example, look at the varying spaces between the top row of dots and the gold border - not only does one row of dots not have any space between the border, it’s actually half covered by it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, that's very well spotted! Thanks for that - it's always useful to know how to spot these fakes, even though it's one thing I don't have to worry about now that I only buy from Rob.

Connoisseur Kim Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There are used to be Cohiba EL Piramides in 2006, but not like this, since the bands of Cohiba EL Piramides were Standard Band D not Standard Band G. Also, Cohiba Standard Band G applied since the release of Piramides Extra. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heads should not be touching the top gold border ever. Also, the box itself looks terrible, like it was made in junior high shop class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edicion Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The shape of the Pyramides top looks off too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey D Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 On the band, first thing I noticed, there doesn’t appear to be a white border around the Taino head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
