Authentication not matching box

[ph2ocraft]

I know somebody selling some cohiba siglo Vi but the habana authentication says they're partagas serie D no5, stay away from them or continue to purchase? The rest of the decals look correct

Would you buy a Mercedes if the VIN came back to a KIA?

The Habanos page in your photos looks like conflicting information. Why does the description page say Partagas and the description photo show Cohiba?

I believe that is what he is asking.

I'd stay away, but I'm on a fixed income.

I give it the benefit of the doubt. It seems Habanos has somehow screwed up on their documentation.

This is true it has happened. I have not seen that sticker under the warranty label before. If the price is to good then I would say its fake! They are running $1100 to $1200 right now!

That Cohiba box picture is the stock picture on that page... You can see that picture before you even enter any numbers.

That sticker under the warranty is always there, for the last 10 years or so. It's the transit seal which is usually covered up by the main warranty seal.

I've seen the authentication site screw up before (pretty rare though) but unless you are 100% certain of the seller and where they got it from, I definitely would not be buying Cohiba that comes up Partagas. I haven't paid close attention lately, but I also don't recall seeing the warning sticker sealed from the top of the box, over to the side. Usually those warning stickers are put flat on the top of the slide lid box.

fakes.
the code is in the wrong font, the seal is not covering the transit sticker, the warning sticker is never placed over the box corners that way.
can we see the inside of the box ?

The post-2010 seals are also placed with the fold through the centre of the coat of arms, but the orientation of the seal is reversed, so that the barcode shows at the front of the box.

Holly Crap! People know a lot about CC's.
I'd trust Nacho Daddy and Havanaaddict on this. The factories in Cuba don't screw up on stuff like that. I just noticed that the photo in the authentication notes does not match the box style you have.

Wow I have never seen the transit seal under the warranty seal on boxes I have received. Must have gotten the boxes that were worked on by someone with OCD

didn't realize it was his only post.

think we'll ever hear from him again ?

I have never been able to get a CAPTCHA code from the authentication site to even check a serial number, does it actually work for other people?
