[TheGipper]

Let's start this series with an easy one.

Which box of San Cristobal El Principe is real and which is fake?

right one fake? Never seen one without the sticker along the side of the box.

I second that

I know tstoner knows his stuff. I don't know enough about CC to have an opinion. I get my stuff from H&F, or Casa. I pay more, but I have confidence in my source.

my guess is the box on the left shouldn't have a hologram stamp on it.


edit- oops...I have a box with one...my mistake!

[Pole Lock]

I don't know - I can't see how well the bands are printed and whether the cigars all have a perfect triple cap. :-*

I have zero skill here and two things stand out. Box on left has sticker but a bad hologram. Box on right has no sticker but a legible hologram. Gut says right is good.

Trick question. Both are authentic.

Trick question. The question is, which lady drank more Havana Club before coming to work.[/quote]

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!  Armen is right.  Both are indeed authentic.

And both actually from the same master case, both AME AGO 13 factory codes.  And both were darn good.
