Need Help Auntenticating 2011 Forbidden X Toro Coffin

[Pmoney]

I picked up a Forbidden X Toro coffin from 2011 from an online vendor. It seems fairly legit, but it has what looks like the kind of Forbidden X band they use on Lost City releases. The .PDF on the Fuente Aged Selection shows it having a standard Forbidden X band, the kind you see on the Forbidden 13's, maduros, and really all Forbiddens but the Lost City.

What do you think fellows? Anyone happen to have one laying around we can compare and contrast? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

lol not ebay! I wasn't sure if I could name drop here.... To give you a hint, the name is "cigars", and the next word means "right to you"... Sorry for the lack of picture, I don't have an account with whatever site you need to post pictures on this site. But if you check out fuenteagedselection.com and check the .PDF for the 2011 Opus 22 set, you will see the band pictured is a "standard" forbidden X band. The double band is correct with the three x's, but the main band looks like a lost city band as opposed to the Forbidden bands on the Maduros and 13's I have, which according to the PDF is the style it's supposed to be....

Send it to me and I'll smoke it and give you my opinion of its authenticity  :rotf:

Edit: Not all Forbidden coffins came from Opus22 sets, some are just sold as singles.  IIRC the ones in the Opus22 have double bands, but if it's just a solo coffin, then it will have the black forbidden band and possibly a 2nd band with the year.

After selling Opus that didn't exist in a retail market or quantity according to Carlito himself, Cigars Direct landed on my no buy list. I did a review on one of them(it was the Mauro double robusto) and it was crap. I'd be sceptical.

Plenty of easy and reliable ways to get Opus imho, no need to use an unreliable source.

Thanks for the advice gents. My B&M has all sorts of Fuente goodness, but I've been looking for specific Forbiddens for a while now. I've had zero luck with OLH (although maybe I need to be the douche to post his ISO in the TSBC forum haha) and no luck on Instagram either, so I thought I'd roll the dice on Cigars Direct. Came up snake eyes, I guess! It's all good. I'm just glad it was only $50 and not $500

Prometheus sets or Casa Fuente will be your best bet.
