Dear all brothers of the leaf,

I am the newbie - alex, I just bought couple of cigars from my co-worker. They are Partagas Coronas Senior, I used to smoke them quite alot, just because they are not expensive, and I am new into cigars, so I want to start with cheaper stick first.

They are all packaged in tube, and I usually see them in "Silver & Red" color tube (top one in the pic). However, for those I got from my co-workers are totally different, they are "Yellow & Red" color tube (bottom one in the pic). My co-worker told me that he got them in a box of 25 from a website (do i allow to mention website address here in the forum?), and he has no idea whether this is a new package OR a totally fake habanos....I smoke one of them, its taste a bit more spicy than the normal one..


any brothers here has idea about this? Real / fake?

1st: Do NOT mention online retailers of Habanos (known as sources here, they are a huge no).
2nd: Habanos SA have been getting out to the market several new tubes; I've yet to try a recent Partagas Coronas Senior, so I wouldn't know; but check the boxes code, as well as other giveaways from counterfits.

As has been mentioned, Habanos has been putting out some new and different tubos...but I've never seen the bottom one before.

OK, just checked the Habanos, SA website and they are still showing the old style tubo so I'd have to say I would be a little bit skeptical about the other one. Of course, I'm not as up to speed as I used to be so that is not meant to be taken as gospel.

yes, i am sure the top one is real; however I have no source to check whether Partagas already released a new tube for it.... well, maybe i should wait and see if I am able to see this new design available in retail store then...
