What is the box date supposed to be?

[Eville]

I have no idea on the box date as I received it in a pass. The problem that sticks out to me the most is the embossing. It is not nearly as deep as the one in the link.

The problem should start with the box. After that it's moot.

LOL - What this guy said, exactly! Didn't the glass face represent the end of the discussion?

Unless of course one believes that was a clever, decided disguise to begin with.

One of the many smoke shops along Konig Str. in downtown Stuttgart. Among these "Cohibas" they also sold hookahs, cigs, and chew. You can bet that all of these are fake even without seeing the cigars themselves. All of the boxes are already open.

Box split?

The fivers? Doubtful

I'm just curious......isn't it possible they sell them singly out of those boxes and that's why they're open?

I know my B&M sells a lot of (Cuban) Cohiba's and Montecristo's and if I remember correctly, I bought my first Montecristo #4 as a single (to try it and see if I liked it) and they had to open a box of 3 and take one out for me because they had no loose singles.

Maybe it's the same thing in this shop?

It's possible I suppose, but I still really doubt it. Most of them were about 4 boxes deep. You can't see it from the pic, but even the ones in the back were opened as well. The whole ambiance of the shop really makes me not trust them.
