Very nice selection. Thanks man! I look forward to them
Dropping your smokes in the mail today during lunch break.
I don't want to ruin the anticipation so I won't post anything about what you're getting. Think that's part of the fun of these things.

Received my sticks from PhiAggie today.
Really excited about the selections.

I'll have em in the mail tomorrow.
Is everyone caught up and in contact now? Any holes in the pass?
1956' and I have been chatting, stoagies are in the mail!
Jamaggie06, got the sticks and they look great! I'll be giving the first a puff during this weeks Aggie game! Thanks again!
That Cohiba looks very fake. 
Why did you think that was important to bring up?

Dropped my present off to HCHunter this afternoon, was rewarded when I got home to a package from ConstructionAg. He did me right!

Good looking cigar, well constructed. Can see a triple cap.
Embossed, golden "Cohiba"... Cohiba is shiny, not yellow... white squares are not cut off, "Habana, Cuba" centered and scripted.
Looks legit to me.
But please inform us how you know, for all of our edification. Most of the fakes I've seen were obvious and easy to spot.
The lack of sharpness in the "Habana, Cuba" lettering looks off. Specifically the "u" and "n". If he got it from a legitimate source like an LCDH or a reputable online source than maybe I am wrong but it just looks a little off. I'm happy to delete my initial post if people are offended.AggieChemist said:I'm not a Cuban expert, but...Stan Crowch said:

And now we go live to Seanmag1500 for the response...
Did my sticks make it to you?
It's an older style band (Pre-2014-15), as the new bands have the Behike style holograms. But for any style Cohiba new or old the Habana, Cuba shouldn't be in bold. Some fake CC's are very easy to spot like you said, but others are very well done and you can't tell until it's cut up. I would allow him to produce a box code/origin before someone is called out though. It's an easy mistake and happens all the time.
And "fake" or not, these can still be quality smokes.
Yours are in the mail as of today. Sorry about the delay!

No usps love for me today. Guess I'll hit my own stash for a Nica Rustica and some old grandad BiB
They did!
I'm very delayed in everything this week. Our company just aquired another org and I'm running the integration, so I stay a bit busy. I'll post a pic later, but they are great looking smokes, many of which I haven't tried!

Long story short, they were purchased where I've purchased all of my Cubans over the years. The shop was (is?) a certified Habanos SA shop (Habanos Point to be specific) in Mexico where my family helped start a SCUBA operation ~17 years ago. This is an older stick thats been sitting in my humidor for a good while. I only had one left and never found a good reason to smoke it alone, so I figured a pass was a good enough reason to send a good ag (what I consider to be) a good smoke.AggieChemist said:Stan Crowch said:The lack of sharpness in the "Habana, Cuba" lettering looks off.

I took a picture of a band that was at the bottom of the humidor to try and clear anything up. If you still think its fake, feel free to let us all know, but I certainly trust the gentlemen I purchased them from as well as performed a serial authenticity check. I've also purchased so many SEALED boxes of smokes from this guy, I'm certain I've not been duped.
I've included some other Cubans if you'd like to take the time to attempt to authenticate them as well.
Picture of the band (I found it difficult to get a close up with my phone and I'm not certain this picture is any more or less clear than the other):
A Trinidad Reyes through the wrapper (self wrapped as I bring them back that way):
and one of my favorite "premium" smokes. A Vegas Robaina Familiar:
Now, any other questions re: my integrity can be directed toward my PM inbox or email.
Seven - I'm promise you I'm not intentionally or otherwise sending you falsified or fake Cubans. I don't need friends badly enough to lie, I just wanted to do something nice as part of the pass. Please accept my apologies if you don't like the sticks I sent over, and let me know as I'll send a gift card to a local smoke shop for you!

I don't think anybody here thought you were intentionally passing bad sticks. And I thought it looked legit, as you can see from my initial post.
I definitely was not questioning anyone's integrity. I apologize for the thread derail.
I don't know what everyone is all hot and bothered by. I'm excited to smoke them!

Maybe I overreacted. My appologies as well
If you want to PM me your address I'll send you an H. Upmann Connoisseur A as a show of good faith.Seanmag1500 said:Stan Crowch said:
