Partagas GR Lusitanias - Real or Rebands?

[la1994]

"I see where you are coming from, these were purchased by me from an lcdh in the Netherlands.

Suddenly the Oz provenance is smelling like bullshit as well."

This is the only misstep that I will admit to. In haste of trying to sell these quickly, I told you that I bought these from the Netherlands. I got them mixed up with the box I bought earlier in the summer, and also sold here on OLH. Your box is infact from OZ.

Seriously? While I get that it won't happen based on your previous comments, this buyer deserves a refund. Mis-stating the provenance is a total fail.

LCDH Netherlands or Oz?

I assure you that I would not confuse the vendor on a high end box like that. While the buyer in this transaction is an unknown, this is an error that would make anyone who puchased this box from you wonder.

So much for reputation.

How do you go from "in haste of trying to sell quickly" to "I got them mixed up"

Sounds like a bunch of bs and omission of fact from the get go.

This is looking shadier by the day.

I think a full refund is [i]definitely[/i] in order (maybe minus the cost of the smoked stick).

I would be unhappy if a seller did this to me over a box of reg. recent production.  I can't imagine how I'd hold it together if I just plunked down mega funds for a super premium.

I guess this is why I don't purchase too much from here, preferring my trusted vendors.  My vendors are professional and pay attention to details.  This whole sale was sloppy front to back.

I can't believe Leo didn't mention the shitty glue job!  Still don't think he faked them, but he could have taken MUCH better care of his buyer.  Can't be too much in a hurry when someone's sending you that type of bread.

I don't know either of these guys, and I have no skin in this game.  But here's a recent ISO post from la1994 that flew under the radar.  Kind of makes you wonder.  ???

la1994 - ISO Behike 54, RASS, PL regional bands
« on: November 22, 2014, 05:23:55 PM »

I'm doing a project, and need these bands. Willing to pay cash or cigars. I need 25 of each. The PL regional bands need to be from the Magnifico, RDL or Italia releases.  The bands need to be intact as well, not torn, and still in their "ring" shape

Thanks in advance

I recent ordered custom rolls PL in a 109 format, Behike blend in a sublime, and RA Salamones.  I wanted nice bands, End of story.

Wow...this doesn't look good.

I feel sorry for the buyer. 

[Jslesca]

Yea not good, my guess is Leo got these in from Oz and like anyone else who spent that kind of dough, opened the box and inspected right away. Saw the shitty band job and said fuck I don't want these. Posted them avoiding a close up pic of the bands then hoping to sell to a newer member who wouldn't question a whole lot. We know the rest, IMO he didn't reband them, the iso may be a coincidence. You'd have to be a complete moron to post an iso for bands after selling high end sticks that u just rebanded.

+1 ... after what's transpired here, the buyer deserves a refund minus the cost of the smoked cigar.

Too many things against the seller are not right. Coincidence or not, a refund is absolutely  warranted here.
