Authentic Montecristos ?

[orlenz]

I received a 10 ct box of monte #2's I noticed a couple things that concern me,
1. the writing on the bottom of the box is printed, not burned in,
2. the bands are glossy, all the ones I've had before had flat bands.
they are sep 06
They look legit other than that, and smoke real nice, they have the little paper inside the bax, the seal looks good etc.
just the box branding and the bands have me a bit concerned, I got these from someone I have never dealt with before, without pics, can anybody give me an idea if they are legits smokes?

 

[tobby4]

pics? it will be easier to help you with a visual

Price? The glossy bands have been seen on Montecristos as far back as 2003. No worries there.

And date codes are often printed or stamped. Pics will really help on this one!

 

[orlenz]

yeah I'm used to the date codes being printed, I have just never seen the Main text printed, could be something new.

I'll get pics tonight when I get home,

Montecristo switched to new glossy bands not too long ago.

You've already given them the true test. 10 count boxes tend to have some different markings.
Relax and enjoy em.

Totally oblivious on this one, but it's not the first. Glad it worked out.

Some details were changed after he got what he needed.

Ahh! This explains much.
