I have never received my boxes with the bar codes still on either. I asked the vendor why they remove them and I was not given a straight answer, something to do with not wanting them to be traced back to them?? Not too sure but I will tell you the bar codes are always cut off, I have used a few...
The vendor has assured the return of the box to Habanos for an explanation to me and Rod. Apparently they have been on this site for a long time and have not had any previous issues.
The band is missing the dots, there is NO explanation for that, its possible to have printing variations in bands and color variations of cigar but according to the vendor in question he has never seen a legit box with the dots missing either. I also checked with two others, neither one has seen...
Final update- Thanks to all that chimed in on this! The Vendor has agreed to fully credit me for the purchase, Rod has been "The Man" in getting involved to help me resolve this situation and is really a great guy for all his help. The vendor is acting responsibly and fairly and may even get a...

I will be glad to add a few pictures of the box and codes shortly, the vendor is not interested in getting in a spitting match with me, he is being very quick to offer a refund upon return. As for determining if these are fakes, the bands on the series D are clearly fakes, I have smoked enough...
The Vendor has agreed to fully refund me upon return of the fakes however I hesitate to ship them on fear of getting into some legal trouble. I have done some reading online regarding Customs and its not good. I am afraid I may have just made a $600 mistake. Thanks to all who posted, I hope NONE...
It does say Germany on the box as I believe the box to be authentic however the contents are not! I am currently in contact with the vendor and I will post an update shortly.
No thats the thing the box looks real although there is no imprinting on the yellow ribbon of the Cohiba's bundle, Im not sure if there should be but I seem to think its always imprinted with the name.
