Edited!. IMHO
Hang around a while, do some trades, get to know people and the info you are looking for will come. It may take a while but it sure saves a lot of headaches.......
I've been in an LCdH and held a box of fakes in my hands. We torched a few and sure enough, they tasted horrible. Mind you, this is the exception to the norm. 99% of the time, LCdH's can be trusted. Somtimes a few bad boxes can make it into a mastercase. Nothing is 100% foolproof.also the red lines bleeding through the gold coins on the band doesn't bother me i have cigars like that now, from a lcdh in montreal, so i think your good there.

But back on subject, the bottom line is if you're not comfortable with the purchase, send it back for either a replacement or a refund. You could smoke one and let us know your thoughts but for the most part I'd just send 'em back.
Actually, neither but it's not important where. Just buyer beware!i bet the lcdh your talking about is in mexico or the Caribbean, its more likely for one of them to slip a fake in then montreal.
