Atleast someone was thinking of me....

Good evening all, I have been gifted these two, I shall smoke (and possibly enjoy)them in the spirit that they deserve as gifts, but I suspect they are fakes. Agreed?

I do feel the cohiba bands look somewhat dull and suspect

[anz3001]

Yes, and whilst I'm not 'up' on LE's a quick google struggles to find anything from 2012, is it safe to smoke papyrus?

[Johnny Thunder]

Sorry for going slightly off topic, but do the tubes get faked, or are they the real deal with fake sticks?

[anz3001]

I've no idea, the monti could be real, I only doubted it as I've not seen the same cigar for sale anywhere. These were given to me by different people at different times.

The Monte might be an NC? The Cohiba is a fake as there wasn't an LE in 2012

Which beggars belief really if your going to the trouble of faking something at least get the facts correct

[Wigan]

Could be a legal loophole like how they don't put the stickers on the box but in them instead?

[oskihen]

I'd like to visit the museum of counterfeit in Paris supposed to be really interesting and a real eye opener I wonder if they have cigars there they're a high end product after all

[anz3001]

Ah I never knew a NC Monte existed, that clears that up then. Thanks all
