    Sorry, but IMO they are fakes. If they smokes well and you enjoy them, cool...not a terrible deal.
    No doubt about it. Phony as a three dollar bill.

    In addition to what Drew said... The font on the band is wrong, the S/N on the warranty band is wrong (should start with "I" for cigars mane in Jan 08 - "D" was used during 2003-2004) and the date/factory code should be on the box, not on a piece of paper. And unless the cigars were actually purchased in Cuba, there is no hologram. I'm sure I could find more if I looked.

    Sorry you got duped.

    Edit: Oh yeah - one more thing I should say - I'm surprised no one else said it already ---

    NEVER buy cigars from craigslist or Ebay.

    What did you pay? The humidor actually looks quite nice, so if trhe cigars smoke OK and you paid a reaonable price then don't beat yourself up about it.

    However, as Shelby says, if it looks to good to be true then it probably is.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!
