not to mention CORO being one of the most inconsistent cigars in the Habanos portfolio IMO...have had amazing examples and terrible ones through the years

Yeah I read both yours and Mastershakes replies and it could be entirely true which is why I said I am not sure if they're fakes or not. I just figured given the overwhelming evidence of him selling fakes, that's just the first thing that came to my mind. But yes you are right I have definitely had hitters and missers over the years but this was definitely the worst.

Here is the box code and how much I paid:

Cohiba Robusto - MOB FEB 14 - $350

Folks,

I have been lightly following this. Honestly just have not had the time to dive into it.

I have suspended Jasons ability to use the TSBC. He can see everything else.

Jason, lets hear it.....

The box that was listed here for 90 minutes was purchased from an LCDH in Mexico.  I took the posting down to investigate and talk to the LCDH regarding the box.  It has all the correct government issued health stickers etc and I still have photos that I can share.  They claim the box is from their distributor in Mexico City and is 100% legit.  I am skeptical because the tax stamp is sketchy even though the box serial number is correct for a 25ct box of Siglo VI.  After I contacted them many others did as well. A lot of Mexican regionals have been purchased from them and sold here and on Facebook with no issues. He called me and was not happy about this.  I have since sent the box back and he is in the process of refunding me or sending me equal value of other cigars.  My intention was not to defraud anyone.  As I mentioned in the shoutbox, an admin of another Facebook group purchased Siglo 6 from this same vendor and actually sold them to someone.  He was forced to issue a refund and actually removed from that group.  Hope this helps clear up the situation.

or did you take the post down because it got called out on Facebook and your post deleted by the Admin? One can't help but wonder the outcome had you just posted the box for sale here. If the tax stamp is "Sketchy" why did you list the box in the first place?

The Admin contacted me and said he was taking it down so we could talk about it.  I have a great relationship with Dan.  So I took it down here too.  I had to tear off the health stickers, use my black light and take pictures.  We deemed that it was inconclusive (which he also posted on FB).  1 person on FB actually wanted to purchase the box from me but I said I couldn't because it may not be legit.  I have proof of that too.

Tons of OLH folks aren't pedaling fakes on a regular basis either but I digress
