TheDonTX Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Not purchased in person. The monte’s were the first I noticed and compared to a real one from a very trusted source you can feel it. The white ring is not raised and its not centered. I only usually get boxes but I went out and got singles lol. The QD50’s look legit from what I have seen but again all these besides monte’s I have not had before. The VR and SC bands are pretty bad? Edited October 21, 2021 by TheDonTX
TheDonTX Posted October 21, 2021 Author Posted October 21, 2021 Now I will add that the vender is super battling me and saying these are legit even with the monte bands being flat…
Meesterjojo Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Do they have the blacklight marks? Should at least check that before posting with the montes

I actually dont have one but all my other cigars have been boxes from a trusted source with everything checking out. The monte 2 on the right is legit and the white rings are embossed and you can see it from the backside where the one on the left is crooked on the front and not embossed?
Meesterjojo Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Verily. The one on the left doesn't look legit. But grab you one off Amazon. They're dirt cheap. Monticristos have a MC that only shows under a blacklight on the back of the band. Blacklight is good for the box seal as well. And Cohibas.
Bradr84 Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 At least the VR is triple capped but the band looks sketch. The montes.......no bueno. I don't imagine too many people are faking QDs
Edicion Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Maybe I am missing something here but I get one band being off... but the whole lot seems to off here? Every band has some issue...sorry dude I would not buy from them again.
TheDonTX Posted October 29, 2021 Author Posted October 29, 2021 Luckily I am returning them but the supplier is well known! They did however explain that this order came directly from an outside vendor. The fought me a lil bit but offered money back so thats cool. Live and learn! Im just gonna stick to our hone base from now on lol.
