I don't know- it could just be the lighting/photography, but between that and the serial number underbands, my red flag is saying PEEK-A-BOO!


The first thing that caught my eye is that no serial number is visible on any of the cigars, it's like every gold band has been meticulously placed to cover up the area where the S/N should be.

Next thing, and this might just be the photography through the glass with a cell phone camera, those bands look flat - Padron and the dots on the sides of the band should be raised.

Lastly, the gold looks "wrong" and the lettering doesn't seem sharp. Again, this could be the camera, light and the display case.
