Ordered a box of BPC from trusted vendor and requested box remain sealed. Arrived with warranty seal unbroken but the Habanos sticker across the top right corner was broken as was the paper over the back part of the lid. Looks almost as though it was opened at one point but a new warranty seal was placed on the box (maybe the same one). Anyone ever see this? Again, quite trusted vendor shipping out of europe with no tracking as of late.
Warranty Seal Unbroken.... but

I've had a couple boxes show up lately that I can tell have been opened, but the warranty seal looks as if it was peeled back to open the box and then set back in place. They've been from (most likely) the same trusted vendor, and the sticks have had no issues.
Ya, I don't worry so much about the sticks, it just seems odd. Box was from early 2014 and I was just thinking if there is any chance they put in sticks that are more fresh into an older box, but then again it would probably just be easier to doctor the box code. I'm probably over thinking.

Even if the vendor is trusted, I always have skepticism lol. I try not to let it get to me as long as I enjoy the smokes.
Fake. Definitely fake. I like to perpetuate the fear that all CCs are fakes 
That and I love when people talk about shipping times. I have received boxes with weird cosmetic adjustments on the boxes. Agree with everyone though, if you trust your vendor you should have nothing to worry about.

The worries come with the territory. When I walk into the places in Germany, I still have my doubts on certain things.Most of the time I refuse to buy singles from these places for that exact reason. I will just check the seals on the boxes and go that route.
1000's of people have bought from these vendors and if you do your research and find the right one (which sounds like you did), you can be a little less skeptical haha

its pretty easy to pull the warranty sticker off of the glass top and replace it. Always make sure your CC have the glass top that's how I can tell if they are legit.

That's physically impossible. The Warranty Seal is made of self-destruction plastic. If removed, it breaks into little fragments and cannot be re-sealed. There is also a Cubatobaco seal beneath the Warranty Seal, so if you run the tip of your finger over the seal, you should feel a slight impression from it. They cut the Habanos label on the upper-right corner for their own quality control, I believe--because Habanos S.A. does not have any, or because they love the smell of rich Cuban tobacco aroma.

try to lift a warranty seal from any box you may have,and let us know how it worked for you.
did you check the serial # on the Habanos SA website?
Vendor with no tracking?
