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.
Agreed about the dark wrappers for the Monte 2. The last few shipments I've received had some pretty dark wrappers and have been wonderful.
Could be the pic/cam/or lighting. They do seem to be overly glossy but the newer bands are in fact not matte...
Well what would be not cool is slipping the bands off and trying to resell them as authentic without the band. If its still a good smoke it's still a good smoke. I just wouldn't buy anymore from that source. My first counterfeits I took the bands off and when the guys came over ( you know the ones that leave half smoked sticks and only smoke because u look so cool when you smoke) they are in a humidor that I point them to "take whatever u want out of that one"
That was the first thing that caught my eye, seemed like the bands were printed on glossy paper, soooooo shiny.
And that guys... is why I wonder why the hell anyone would knowingly smoke fake cigars when you have absolutely no clue where they came from and more importantly, what the hell you are actually smoking.
Truer words were never spoken.
