I hate to be that guy who questions his source when I really shouldn't but I've ordered quite a few boxes of various marcas from different retailers and these are by far the most questionable I've come across. My observations are that they cigars seem to be in "ok" shape considering the distance they had to travel. The box is my main concern. The "Habanos" chevron was a little tattered, as you can see in the picture below. The bands seem to be consistent with the other monte bands I've got from past cigars and all of the cigars seem to be pretty uniform in size and shade of wrapper. The caps on a few of these cigars are a little "questionable" as well but I think I will chalk that up to the long distance trip they took to get to me.

Anyways, I would be more than happy to verify the source of these cigars with someone through PM, as to not break any rules. However, from what I hear, there shouldn't be any problems with who I ordered them from.

Let me know what you think and again, sorry to post another "are they real" threads! Thanks for the help!

All you will learn from these pictures is if your box is authenic. :laugh:

Try smoking some.

:( you're gonna make me cry haha. Nah, I've been assured that my source is reliable and I'm sure I have nothing to worry about. Plus, its only a box of 10...I usually try and make smaller orders with new sources just to make sure first. I will stick with my regulars before I order from these people again though.

Thanks for all the help!
 
Every time I see that box code, I think Habanos, SA is sticking it to the US. :laugh:
 
They look real to me. I have several POS MAY 07 boxes but in the 25 count boxes and they smoke fantastic young!
 
I think they look pretty yummy but must to be sure you better send me a couple for sampling and I will give you my expert opinion :D
