Hey all, This might be a noob thing to do, but has anyone ever liked the look of a cigar so much that they ended up taking a pic or pics of it. I did this with the Cohiba Maduro Genios that I smoked last week. I think I was just really excited for the smoke. Anyway, anyone else?
Are you referring to the Monte #5 or the #2? What looks fake about it to you?
I was referring to #2. What looks fake to me is the edge of the band, it looks like cut by knife or something. But I wouldn't bet my cigars for that, it could be just the photo. And yes the font does look a little "bolder" than it should be, but again it's difficult to judge by a picture.

This B&M is in Toronto. The font looks a little thick in the picture for some reason, but it looks fine in person. The edge of the band does look slightly faded, but the cigar is certainly real.

If you bought the cigars from a Habanos retailer in TO, then they are probably the real McCoy.
As Sheep said, smoke it and you will know.

Cor: Steve, you have proven yourself to be a tremendous whack job.

Yup, I plan to light this one up on Christmas eve. Having said that, it isn't completely unheard of for a fake to end up in a legitimate Habanos box...
