That's the least of the boxes problems.The box is missing the comma between "Habana" and "Cuba".

Actually, they claim that they can't differentiate and "have to" confiscate anything that claims to be Cuban. What is rediculous about it all, of course, is that ATF/Customs claims that something like 90% of all Cubans in the US are fakes ... if that is the case, then why are they sending mean letters to people for getting these cigars, if the chances are they are fakes? It can't be illegal to buy a Mexican cigar that pretends to be Cuban, can it?
I'm afraid it doesn't look good. The other guys here are much better at these kinds of things than I, but even I think those boxes look very suspect. As Ben pointed out, the price on the "real" ones is extremely high, so if you got these for a lot less, then that's your final evidence. If it were me, I'd demand a refund ASAP.
Yeah, I don't believe those are real. The seal + the box + the price is a pretty good indication.
This is one of the most faked cigars on the market, and an extremely hard box to find. If found it would retail upwards of $1,500-$2,000 give or take. Couple that with the bar code seal, the heavy varnished box, the missing comma etc. and the fact you have 3 of them most probably from Mexico based on your location I'd unfortunately say you were duped.
Don't get upset about it as it's happened to most of us. Look at it as a learning experience and keep in mind that if it seems to good to be true it probably is.:smile:
That sux! I would ask for my money back from the vendor even though it's prolly a lost cause. Smoking fake cigars is prolly not good with what they put in some of these things i.e. hairs and rodent crap. I hope you didn't drop more that $400 per box? Before buy any EL cigar that is as HTF as the sublimes always ask questions. I only know of 1 vendor that has these and they are not worth that kinda money unless you are a collector.
