wildduk Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 New member here got scammed on some fake boxes. Cohibe sublimes and Genios.

rckymtn22 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 They would have the new bands if they came out in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildduk Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Jfestrelabr I know they are fake. Please read my post. I’m looking for some specific details to take to the seller. Not just a blanket,” these are fake” statement. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 2018 banded Cohiba Sublimes? Yeah, right. There's your obvious answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Stamps.on first box are way way off. Has Nov 25 and they never have day of the month. Doesn't have factory. Has wrapper shade stamp which hasn't been used since probably the 80s. And a few other stamps that shouldn't be there. Edit: same with second box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildduk Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Thx all. How about the cigar itself? Not an expert but it doesn’t look like it has the “triple” cap that all Cubans have….. land what about the box seal number mentioned above. They are supposed to have 6 zeroes at the beginning???

Fuzz Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 No point in asking about the cigars when the boxes and bands are obvious fakes. The cigars could be anything. Suggest you have a read about packaging on Cuban Cigar Website. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you're fishing for tips to make the next set more accurate. Those are embarrassing fakes, everything about them is wrong. The box, bands, stamps, stickers, wrappers, everything. Wait, almost everything, the only thing missing is a glass top. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildduk Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Understood and I will quit asking. I just spent a lot on these 2 boxes and want to be able to explain to my “friend” why these are fake and to attempt to get my money back…. He swears these are being shipped from “Cuba”. Said something like pharmaceutical shipments is how his contact gets them out. Maybe he is being scammed or maybe he is scamming me…… I do have another box ordered before I found this site……. I will post pics when I receive Not fishing for improvements, but obviously cannot prove. Just upset I got scammed. However I did smoke most of them and they were smokable.

Mickey D Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Also, other than the 2018 EL on the Cohiba, the first thing that caught my eye on the Cohiba band was the tails of the C in Cuba passing through the loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also recommend that you try some regular production cigars instead of going towards limited editions and Cohibas. You mentioned that you smoked most of them already so clearly you were enjoying them. I would take it as an experience and try to find more reliable vendors for your next cuban experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I've seen some truly epic BS Fake boxes in my time - these boxes certainly beat all and are close to win the Fake Habano World BS Competition.... Applause !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcicvara Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I've developed another test for real/fake Cubans: if you can easily remove a band - it's a fake. Cubans always have a ton of glue on the band. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
