Authenticity!

[bstarrs]

The Espendidos come in a cardboard sleeve that covers the varnished box. IIRC the warranty seal would be affixed to the cardboard sleeve. I've never had a box of Cohibas but my other varnished boxes has the warranty seal on the cardboard sleeve. So I'm calling fake based on that, not to mention the Esplendidos are one of the most faked cigars in the world so if even one detail is suspicious I would be pretty confident on calling them fake.

I also know there are always a ton of Fauxhibas in Toronto. They are always listed on craigslist and everything.
