They could be real but your pictures are lacking clarity.

:thumbs: Look fine to me, actually you've got me thinking It's been a while since I've had one
Only thing is not sure about the TMO code perhaps someone will let us know this Factory Partagas new one ?

Pictures are fuzzy, but everything looks fine as far as I can tell. The biggest thing is trust your vendor. PM Jfields or myself and we can try and help on that front.
There is virtually no way to tell what Factory code belongs to what factory anymore as they change each month and the same code can be used for different factories in different months.

I think they have to be fake. There's no way the factory would print labels and the writing on the back of the box as out of focus as your pictures show.
You got me at the first line... :laugh:

I don't know how to spot a fake so I am going with those look pretty good. Please keep in mind my credibility.

The factory code is usulaay stamped below Hecho en Cuba, but mistakes happen. The fonts is correct also.Everything else looks GENUINE!! No matter how great the box looks or cigars it always boils down to the factory code and the right color stamp and fonts.
No, it doesn't. Factory codes are not known to anyone outside of HSA and change factories month-to-month. The font and color of the stamp also have little value as there is much variation in these things.
According to this guide on how to spot fakes Cuban cigars

There supposed to be micro-printing lines on the seal in 2 places.
I searched with magnifying glass where it suppose to be but couldn't find nothing

Did you see when that article was written. :whistling:
Don't worry. The source is good. Forward me the box. I'll send it back full of ashes, along with a report.

Didn't noticed the date.
So there is no micro-printing anymore?
Because I just received a box of Partagas Lusitanias that has
a micro-printing on the seal.
I'm going to smoke one(Juan Lopez) tonight so I guess that would be the final verdict
