CigarDarr111 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Recently bought a box of rare cigars from a LCDH opened the outer box to take the actual box out and the box had no codes on the bottom. is this a normal thing or should I be sending them back ? (1966)
Fshaw Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Box code on the cardboard, under the lip of the lid usually for the Cohiba 1966's

vatche03 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 As others said, check the top right inside on the cardboard box.
CigarDarr111 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 As others said, check the top right inside on the cardboard box. No box codes in the cardboard.. also looking at your pic theres no EL band across the top right corner of the box either.
Smallclub Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Compare your box with http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/brand.aspx?brand=Cohiba#273_Edici|on_Limitada_2011
RickHendeson Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 No box codes in the cardboard.. also looking at your pic theres no EL band across the top right corner of the box either. Uh oh
garbandz Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 If possible post some pictures. always makes things easier...........
shlomo Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Buy them in Vancouver? AFAIK there is no LCDH there.
CigarDarr111 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Sorry gents I'm tryin to figure out how to post pics.. I got them from a LCDH in Mexico from a credible source hence why I'm really effin confused..
CigarDarr111 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Mexico strikes again! Lol everything is on point except for the box code and the one EL seal on outside of the box.. its not exactly a beach special.. it is from LCDH.
shlomo Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Some Caribbean LCDH are notorious for selling fakes. Mexico in particular. It's a lot of red flags already. With pics, members here will be able to help more. How much were they?
canadianbeaver Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Just came home from Mexico. Entire walk in humidor at our hotel, pretty as it was, was filled with fake Cubans. They were charging $40US for an Epi no2 The LCDH, 2 hours south of Cancun, was too far for us to visit so I cannot comment. Forum guys love it there?
El Presidente Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 No box code is no big deal. Have seen it many times, as have anyone into Cuban cigars over an extended period. Missing an El seal? Seen it before. Missing both together...makes me a little curious but I wouldn't be running around the house at this point. LCDH should provide some security. I am no expert in fakes. I need to smoke a cigar to determine Cuban tobacco and I need to smoke 2-3 cigars to confirm a blend I am familiar with. Nestor Valera is head of LCDH. Good bloke. You should be able to dig up his e-mail online. If you are really unsure of the cigars, drop him a line.

melies Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Which LCDH in Mexico? the ones in Mexico city, are run by Max Gutmann and they are perfect sources. Did you check the code in the seal? Try to post some pictures and I'll try to help.
