So, I'm back after I think 3 years? My profile picture was my new born daughter. Now she's 3 1/2. So, it's been awhile since I joined.
Anyway, I have had the good fortune of having a box of Montecristo #2s fall into my lap. As far as I can tell, they look good, everything seems to be in order. The look as crappy as I thought they would, no standardization, all slightly off sized etc etc. But all labels are where they should be. Nice cedar sheet between the two levels of cigars. Little white transparent habanos sheet inside the box. LLN with ENE 10 below it. The ENE 10 is January 2010 if I did my research right. Can't figure out what the LLN is yet. They smell delicious, and I have yet to burn any of them yet.
One thing I was very suprised at was that the box top is held down by a small nail? Never seen that with any NC make. And I have never seen anyone mention that.
Anyway, I have been looking at the whole box code thing, and much of my research points to the fact that lots of boxes still don't come back as authentic even if they are known to be real. So, is there something that I may be doing that is obviously wrong when I enter the code? I'd leave the Bar code number here but I think I might get in trouble for that.
Also, what the heck happened to the podcast forum? Of course, I got way to busy to spend time listening to podcasts, so maybe that's what happened to it...
Anyway, good to see you all still here.
And please, don't shoot me FOGs. I think I broke no rules with this post, besides the fact I haven't posted in years.
