What do the experts say?

I just bought these Partagas serie D no. 4s. This is my first cuban purchase. Unfortunately they weren't purchased from the czar.

What do you all think? I can't find a box number or date code on the cardboard anywhere. But it was just this three pack that I bought.

Like I said first partagas and first cuban purchase. To my eye it looks pretty legit. But you all seem to know much more than I do.

Packs don't have box numbers or date codes.

They look okay to me.

They look fine. The 3 packs only have date codes within the inner flap of the larger vending box. (5 * 3)

Got it!! Thanks guys. I didn't know about the code thing and it was messing with me. I appreciate it.

according to a previous thread your 3 pack is from sometime in late '09.There was a group of bands that only had 1 period after the NO.,the rest had a period after serie and after the 4.

I think the thread is around here somewhere.......... http://www.friendsof...howtopic=102493

regard the last entry........

That particular response certainly puts my mind at ease, and I am glad to know they *probably have a touch of age on them!

Looks like you are ready to fire one up! no issues evident on these. But I can understand your concern, Partagas is so commonly counterfeited unfortunately.

Once you jump on board with the Czar and get hooked to buying here like most you will be happy of this trusted, welcoming, reliable, and authentic source!

Just a follow up, upon lighting, I knew these things were legit. Absolutely fantastic cigar in every possible way!

They look great. Glad they smoked great as well!
