All i can see is EF089800, which i think is the code and the Serie A No1....does that mean anything? Where is the date supposed to be?

Date and factory code on the bottom of the box. Take some pics.

Just curious..... who did you buy them from? was it the brother of the man whos father has a shop near the factory .....who has a customer who comes in...... who knows a girl whos sister rolls cigars in the factory.... by any chance?

[Islita]

Outside on the bottom...

[Islita]

I can say that it's from late 2006

Like people before told you take a picture of the cigars and a picture of the bottom outside of the box and we will soon tell you that they are fakes or not

To explain:
The slight note of sarcasm you may have perceived is due to the vast number of fake Cuban cigars in circulation (especially Cohiba Esplendidos) and the number of people who try to use this forum (and others) to make a quick buck.

It doesn't help when you start off with a post implying that you know they are genuine and want to know where to sell them and then quickly change tact.

Now to the cigars authenticity, this can be very simply resolved (as several others have stated) by posting some pictures of the box, date codes on the base, contents inside the box and close up of the cigar bands. We will soon be able to tell you their authenticity (although if they were cheaper than in the legitimate shops they are almost certainly fake).

ok, i'll post some pictures.

By the way, it came to me that if my IP was showing at in the US is probably because i work for an American company.....

[matt257]

Yep, fake

[misterbulgarin]

oooooooch, defo fakes. Youd think the 'fake makers' would at least make their bands consistent?!

[Islita]

Are they fake?!

They don't need to. Someone will still buy them

[matt257]

Are they fake?!

Yes, and pretty poor fakes too
