Partagas XV encuentro de amigos black label?

[txaggie9307]

Hey guys,

I purchased some sticks from fellow member on another site and he sent me one of these with the other singles that I bought from him. Does anyone know about this stick? I can not find any real info on it.

Thanks,

Post #5 gives an explanation of them.

I had not heard of them until now either.

If it is the same as the one on the cc purchased thread, I believe it is he same that they use for the Friends of Habanos festival held annually in April and November.

That's correct Jim. The colour of the band changes. I have a red one with the same inscription.

Sweet! I've never seen the black labels apart from a blog posting by a known German aficionado.

A big P.S. though - I asked around about the black label ones and these were also confirmed to have been faked and passed around on two different cigar boards. Just be careful, brother... If it comes from someone like Art or someone you know was at one of the XV parties... cool...... but just be careful...

It is from a guy on wade's that always has legit stuff. This thing smells magnificent too. What do you mean be careful? Could these be dangerous for some reason if fake?

I'll post a picture of mine when I get home later this week to compare.

Here are two pics of what are touted as legit XV's.



One is a pic of them in one of the boxes, the other is the band.

If these are real, then the pic Tx posted is a fake.

I did not mean to post a link to a know scammer, very sorry about that fellas.

I just got so excited because I found some info I thought would be helpful and wanted to share. Thank goodness for BOTL though! There is more knowledge here than I know what to do with lol.

I will be more careful in the future
