Wade got it...lol. Kinda of like the girl in Willy Wonka who makes her daddy buy all of the chocolate bars in the city so that only she could have the golden ticket!

Regardless, congrats!

Send me your addy and the other that you would like me to bomb...........Adam

You know actually my first guess I honestly had no idea, I just thought of a great NC stick. Then I saw where you said you talk about them all the time, and in no time I noticed you mentioned the Padron as your fav...so I just got the ball rolling. PM incoming.

Nice win Wade. Congrats.

I've seen this picture before and was very sad for the owner. Now at a second look I noticed that these were probably fake anyway. Tell me why i say that, and I'll send you a real one.

disclaimer: i'm an idiot, and could be wrong.

Is it because they don't have the double band?

This is true. I already have your addy daddy, I'll have something in the air soon.

You really don't have to, I think you've done enough! In any case, expect some return fire soon! :smokingbo

Hmm...so the double band proves they are fakes? I would have guessed the bands. But not that it was because there was two of them.

The current Padron anniversary have a second, numbered band underneath the first, ostensibly to defend against counterfeiting:

I'm not sure when they added the numbered band, though. Here's a CA article on the subject:

ETA: According to CA, the second band was added in February 2001:

One the real ones, ther is a second band, slightly overlapped by the main band, with a unique number on it. every cigar s individually numbered to help prevent counterfeiting. Now if the originals didn't have it, then I could be wrong about the picture, but anyhow, for use in today,s market, you should be seeing a second band.
