Doesn't seem like it is to me. Then again what do I know.:scratchhe

 

[Moro]

No, they are not; at least until I find something else in a respectable information supplier.

Might be..

(I removed link - I was reminderd that it's 'illegal' on these boards.)

Sorry brothers. (I have no knowledge of the authenticity of that particular site & only posted it as it appeared to have similar packaging).

 

[Jetexas]

I smell a rat! Does he have the sweet glass top humi too?

 

[Greg]

I think they are fakes.

I'm really curious how a not a cigar guy ends up with these and chooses to call the halogram a halogram and not a sticker.
Could be real, but there are some very good fakes out there with Cuba tax seals and halograms. How does the DE Tax stamp match up date wise? and why isn't the seal folded over an edge? Seems like even if there are real ones, all you need to do to make a fake is get a leather humidor and a sticker. Seems like a Mexian Speical if you ask me.

Seem fake but ya never know. Ice never seen them come in a bundle

Reminds me of my first box of Cohibas..

A beautiful Plexiglas sliding box top. :smokingbo

100% fake.
No question whatsoever.

My understanding is the "Habanos" Chevron is regulated to be placed at a specific angle & can not, nor will not, ever be placed as it is shown. Yes, Cuba is Cuba but not in this case. The packaging has not been made recently (if ever) either.

The pictures in the craigs list add are different than the pics in the site you posted.

Is there a list of these type of products from Habnos SA?

Not in the Habanos SA website. And most photos of products I've seen from elsewhere. For example, here ye'll see some of the products in line for Habanos SA: http://www.gavd.com/

But still...I've yet to encounter that humi.

The best resource for this is Trevor Leask's Cuban Cigar Website.

nope they are not listed there.

His site isn't official or necessarily complete, but I'd be very wary of any releases that aren't listed on his site.

 

[dpricenator]

Right on, I wasn't acctually going to buy them, but would like to know if it's a real item. I sent an email to a very reliable "know it all".

 

[cvm4]

lulz....Nope

Sorry Moro I misspelled Honduran/Dominican/Bohemian/Jamaican/Panamanian/Nicaraguan/Haitian/Columbian/Brazilian/Guatamalan with a “M” by mistake.

No worries. I know ye'd never think us Mexicans scam tourists with fake cigars. Even less with fake Te-Amos...right??? :sadstare:
