That's a superb smoke IMO, even though I don't think your picture does the cigar any justice, PJ.

[Johnny Thunder]

Superb shot.

Might need to dry box that one PJ

Looks a bit dehydrated to me.

Its quite soft and the foot was squashed by the postman but it went back into shape

[PeeJay]

A little clarification here, I assumed that the Demeter on Facebook who sent me this was also Demeter on here but apparently not.
So now I know I'm not going to upset anyone, thoughts on its authenticity?
He said it came back from Cuba but he doesn't know if its genuine. The Monk thinks its dodgy as do I.

The Limited Edition band doesn't look right to me.

I must admit I thought it looked a little off when I saw, but nothing specific I can find wrong with the the bands after a quick look, the wrapper and cap look terrible though, not necessarily a sign of a fake though

[RDBM]

I hesitate to call it a fake John as it may just be the quality of the picture but it doesn't look like Upmann's finest example.

The wrapper looks pretty bad. For what they cost, wrappers shouldn't be like that at all.

They're not, at least not IMO.

I'm pretty sure that's a fake, PJ, for two reasons. First, and assuming the picture does indeed accurately show the wrapper, I can say I've never seen a Mag56 that looks anything like that one, and I've looked at over two dozen boxes, with different boxcodes. Also, the genuine cigar's "Upmann" and "Magnum 56" bands are both printed in only one strip of paper, with no space between them, and yours appears to at least have a separation, that is if they're not actually two independent bands altogether.

[JoeyGunz]

It's been stored far far too wet, it's moldy and the bands have water damage / oxidation all related from high RH.
It's real though if you ask me.

I think it was...I'm sure [MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION] smoked it and confirmed it was a real one.

I did indeed and it smoked well considering Joe's assessment
