CC Verification / Porn

[Siglo-Man]

These just arrived from a new source and while I think I'm pretty decent at spotting non legit CCs, I know there are many members who have the acute sniffers for the little details like authentic hinges and font sizes of date codes. Feel free to chime in. Either way they are nice to look at and I'll give a full review after I take them home for a testing. (for all those who need a sample to verify ..lol)

Bolivar RCs

Cohiba Genios

Just from a quick glance................I don't think I've ever seen RC's with such dark wrappers.

 

[NASTY]

Yeah, I need to sample them in order to make judgment

I think the flash made them look darker. They are quite a bit lighter in natural light.

BOLIS!!

DO NOT DISCUSS CUBAN SOURCES/RETAILERS

DO NOT POST REQUESTS FOR SOURCE VERIFICATION

DOING SO WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT


Just an fyi.

 

[Siglo-Man]

I thought "SOURCE VERIFICATION" means naming a source to verify it. I believe this is "Personal Photo Verification" and since I'm not a source, good friends aside, I wouldn't think this rule applies. If so my bad.

where are the barcodes from the new stamps?

where are the barcodes from the new stamps?

Bar codes for both boxes were razored across and removed as you can still see the bottom adhesive remained. I assume they provide possible source information.

By you or by someone who didn't want the origin of them known?

Came that way from the vendor. Do they look suspicious? Seem pretty solid. Didn't have a RC to compare it to but the Genios is spot on to my stick from the London Davidoff.

Here is a better lit pic.

Smoke a stick and see for yourself! Are you a regular Boli/Cohiba smoker? My Secretos came in the same type of box and are that dark. Bolis look a little dark, but smoke one a see...

To me that indicates gray market. Not that that is necessarily bad. For some reason though, someone did not want them to be traceable.

I wouldn't worry too much about the missing barcodes as some distributors don't want HSA to know they are supplying vendors outside their offical distribution territory. The ultimate test is to smoke them. Enjoy!

That's what I assumed. Especially if the vendor scanned them into inventory. All and all after lighting one of the RCs up last night I have to say I am very pleased. Great Boli taste I am familiar with as well as fantastic draw and burn. A happy customer.

Don't Bolis have the word "Cuba" under "Habana" on Simon's neck? Or are there a mix of bands out there?

I went and looked at the pics in some of Greg's Boli reviews and I did not see the word Cuba on his bands. But I am no expert on Cuban cigars or fakes.

Have never seen "Cuba" on any Bolis I've had. Possibly some LEs? I dont know.

 

[Lowrider]

From what I have seen the LEs have Cuba written on them .(Take that for what its worth as Im a CC newb )But I have done alot of research due to having trust issues w people I dont know...

Enjoy the smokes!!
