  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Montecristo? *added pics*

This CA link might clear some things up.

Kyleb's #2 has a slight box press. Of my Robustos here, the BoliRC, PSD4, and HDMepi2 are round, while my RASS are slightly box pressed.

Some of the Padrons, with their razor sharp edges are not done in the box (I believe), but by a mechanical means (trunk press).

Regarding Monte, my Monte #1's here are slightly box pressed.

You're good.

Boxes of 10 are often pressed like that because all 4 sides of the cigar are on surfaces that do not give, unlike typical 13/12 DBs where the T&B has slightly.

I'd say you have a great fake with real packaging or the real McCoy. The only definitive answer from here on out is you smoking it. Nothing else matters (that is of course unless some other factor comes into the light)
