How to check if your CC box is fake

[RevSmoke]

Nope. You just need a trustworthy source.

I thought I did... but then if the box has been opened from them to check that it is OK...

Leave that thought there.

I can smoke them, and pretty much tell immediately. It just amazes me that guys can look at bands and tell. Or at the cigar, and know 100% that it is fake or real.

Yeah, the open box thing can lead to concerns. But all vendors who ship internationally do it in my experience.
That said, any vendor worth trusting would most likely not do it upon request on sticks they've just got in.
Obviously the problem for them is if they don't do any QC before shipment, they run the risk of sending you moldy or beetle ridden cigars.

If you are buying Behike a 800-1000 you have too much dinero. Buy some Siglo IV or VI and keep them sealed for 5 years.

Brutal.
You two should just get it over with and get a room.

I have a room. In fact, I have many rooms. Be hard pressed to be in the same room at Chruck though.

what is shocking is that no one in this thread has discussed the obvious signs of a fake box of Behike.

Doubt it

Dude. BHK prices are not up like this, out of Habanos. They're u0p because of the lack of supply, on the secondary market.
Do you think people would be paying $70 a stick on OLH if they could get them from Habanos for $35?
Maybe you're saying you don't think Cuba can recover agriculturally from the bad weather that caused the lack of Medio Tiempo? If that's the case, please lend me your crystal ball

$70? They are about 58.

Im just saying, there really isn't history of Cohiba prices going down based on what i could research.

Cohiba on its will not be going down in price IMO. All the other marcas remain fairly priced tho.

In order for price to drop, demand will have to go down. And demand for Cohiba will not go down anytime soon.

I have seen no evidence that Habanos has raised BHK prices. The prices people are paying ($58... $70... whatever...) are secondary market prices. There's no indication that Habanos is going to raise BHK prices to match the secondary market -- something they have never done.

This means that BHK are being sold -- when they are being sold -- from Habanos dealers, at normal prices (or very close to it). The gouging is happening from people who buy a box at $400 and flip it for $800 and dumbasses pay it.

Behike should also come in a cardboard cover box I believe.

The dress box will be in a velvet sleeve and then be in a black cardboard box.
