Hey Everybody. I recently received some samplers of the 2001 and 2003 ELs, but my only problem is that they don't appear to be the real thing. I have never smoked any ELs of any sort before this, so I can't compare them to the real thing. I was hoping that, from time to time, I might be able to post up here asking for a flavor profile on some of these sticks. I plan on smoking one, then posting my experience with them and hoping that some of you guys can tell me your experience with the stick so I might be able to compare it to what I had. If you guys will be willing to help me out here, I would appreciate it greatly!
Thanks in advance, Eddie

Viper, I feel that they are fake because most of them do not look like maduros. If I were to put them next to some of my other Cubans, most of them appear to look only a little bit darker. Also, the bands are loose and the cigars feel spongy.

I recently got some PSD1 EL. They are a honey brown, not a near black like my PSD3 EL. The PSD1 EL do look like what is pictured on the Habanos website. http://www.habanos.com/elimitada2004.asp They may not be what you expected, but they may be real.
I wouldn't fret. I've got 2 PSD3s from the same vendor (which is no doubt, 100% legit) that have 2 completely different color wrappers. Remember, they are a product of Cuba and stranger things have happened.
Don't judge before smoking. Try one and judge for yourself!

good advice SuperT. I should not have jumped to any conclusions. Even though I have a hunch, it's still just a hunch. Like I said, I'll smoke them and then let you guys know and you can tell me your experiences.
You know, It's great to know that I can rely on such great people to help out when somebody else has a problem.
