this is a box of esplendidos the most faked cigar in the world
i am an avid cuban cigar smoker and have asked some others in the know if the box is real( im not doubting it real but the cohiba esplendidos are the most faked cigars in the world) could you please thell me the date code on the box? you cant see it in the pics that well
sorry if this post offends anyone but i dont want anyone to get taken.............cigars in canada are luxery goods and therefor taxed at over 300% and just so you know the best price from my worldwide scources on a box is over 300 dollars for the real deal.........fakes can be had for 100 on up
. the box was purchased at the goverment store in Havana Cuba . it also has been verivied by 2 local well known cigar stores in Toronto. if you look at one of the pics (cigar 8) you can see the date code (3 digits on top and the date under it ) .the flash from the camera has washed it out . it reads L6L Jul 04 , it also has the Hollogram seal on it . as far as I know fakes do not have the Hollogram seal (hard to print ). also if the serial #seal if viewed under a "black light/ultra violet light the serial numbers on the seal are in two different colors (black/red) .and there is also very detailed "micro printing" on the seal just like on money (another thing very hard to forge). and a bunch of other stuff that verify it is authentic . hey , I'll ship the box to you and if they are fake I will be MORE than happy to refund your money , you just return the box of unsmoked cigars less one cigar back to me . I have a good rep on this board and turbobuicks.com for buying and selling stuff. these cigars can fetch up to $650-$800 a box . I'm not hard up to sell these , I just thought someone may appreciate them more than me . I'll just end up handing them out .

I bet you would give someone a good deal on those Cubans
On the street in Cuba,theyre $50 a box for Espendidos,fresh.You can easily buy what they steal out of the factorys.Holographic seals are what the goverment puts on them not because counterfits,but because of the crack down on the Cuban black market but ive seen on both ways on the street(with and w/o holograms both with all the other features you mentioned).
In Cayman they were $300 a box,last time I was in Cuba it was $250.
I smoke blunts with Espindidos
. anyways ., I'll most likely just hand them out over the holidays . going to a few get togethers over the holidays .
