I got sold fake Montecristo Sublimes, and was asked by the seller

[quote]Doesn't the pic tell 100% of the story?  Fake band = fake cigar.[/quote]Yes it does Mike, that plus your word is certainly proof enough for me.  I only meant that there's a process to that leads up to the name being added to the SL, and that the pic you posted along with the rest of the info you posted along with it would certainly put you well on your way to at least getting that much done.  Still not the same as getting your money back, but some satisfaction in it to be found anyway.  Sorry if my initial post fell short of making this clear.  I never meant to come across as questioning you.

I don't want to seem like I'm picking a side here. Did you send all the stcks to your buddy? If so, how is the seller to know he didn't swap them out with a bogus box he had? Did you keep the band from the one you smoked?

I sent him 6 of the 9 I had left since he only had 6 to trade back.  I have the other 3, and the box in my humidor, and used 2 of them for the pic above.

I actually just boxed up my buddies good ones, and will be sending his back tomorrow.

Yes, I have the band from the one I smoked, and can post pics, but its the same as the middle cigar above.

This is not about the money really, and I can't make Aaron refund my money.  I retired a couple of years ago at 48, not about the money, just about right and wrong.

Hate that this has been bothering me.

Looks like you need the refund then. Lets see what the seller has to say since he told you to bring it here.

I think this is his point of view, although says nothing about fakes.

So, after all of this, does aes8 agree they are fakes?

I provided the solid facts he asked for, and he told me to take it here.  Do you not think I provided solid facts?

Yes, I do. I hope this gets resolved.

I'm confused.. you said he offered you a refund..  is he now saying he wants it posted on BZ to be decided before giving you a refund?
