AllorNothing Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 Can someone please legit check box of these boxes? I’m very unfamiliar with boxes as in Canada we have green paper ones. One thing I noticed is that for the LEs, the code checks out as RyJ cigars… explanation? Appreciate all the help in advance.
Ciscojohansson Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 Eh, does the EL from 2015 have a 23 box code? Or is that the coro box?

NSXCIGAR Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 Bad news for you on both. The Mag 56 box is fake with the primary fail being the code stamp on the bottom. Both the font and the date are off. The CoRo has a problem with the serial and date. The stamped date should be much earlier based on the serial sequence, at least 2020. Also not familiar with an EBT code but I might have missed it on the list. The font does appear correct however. 1

Wasn’t planning on flipping them. $40 CAD for CORO and $50 for ELs… don’t laugh

gormag38 Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 Yeah those are both fake unfortunately. Bands don't look good on the hiba (amongst other things). I'd try and get a refund my guy.

El Presidente Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 .......the only takeaway I have is that I wish my factory was as hardworking as EBT MAR 23 3

I consider that to be a "necessary but not sufficient" factor. I don't consider it evidence of authenticity, rather it can only be evidence of fakery if it comes back bad. 2
99call Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 I love CES "Cohiba Embarrassment Syndrome." Their messages always read like. "I have a family friend who is addicted to porn, and he has developed a huge collection of magazines...how would I...(shit!)...I mean HE...best dispose of HIS collection? 1 1
AllorNothing Posted August 1, 2024 Author Posted August 1, 2024 Lmao in all fairness they could’ve have been off the truck and I wouldn’t put it pass the seller individual. Again, friend of a friend…so I needed some second hand opinions to back up my skepticism. I’m getting roasted out here. 1

Can’t tell if you’re implying that I’m trying to offload these lol I have never even made a post on the forum or bond Robert’s to sell cigars. I only purchase and consume cigars.
