A little help here please

[pharmgator]

These were picked up fairly recently to stash away for awhile, but a couple things don't look right to me.

1) the factory code stamp oeb - why is the e bigger than the other letters?
2) The top cedar strip does not look right to me
3) Both cedar strips are notched on the diagonal and not like a crescent.

These cigars smell fantastic, but I haven't tasted them yet. Let me know what you think. Take it to PM if necessary. Thanks.

I think you need someone else that has acquired some of these to help you out man...I have no idea.

The factory fonts aren't really much concern to me because I have seen or heard of all kinds of anomalies in that regard.

The short cedar sheets do seem a little weird though. :dunno:

They look fine to me. I've seen worse come out of Cuba. PM if you'd like to discuss further.

Those look good to me.

The packaging looks A-OK .

They look fine to me. The diagonal cuts are common these days. You will see them along with the crescent on a regular basis.

So the cedar sheet not covering the entire cigar is normal for these SCdH's?

Weird.

 

[Wasch_24]

Maybe just the Murallas have the short sheet?

Although, those pics don't show the second row.

Hi,

Being a newb, I am loathe to give advice. However, any knowledge from others that I come across that seems credible I am happy to pass along. That said, here's a link that I ran across that seems to be fairly comprehensive:

Look just like the ones I jhave seen VERY recently. I seen the diag notch quite a few times. Either many of us got took or this is just the way they are coming.
