What do you guys think of the Padron 1964 Anniversaries?

I'm surprised no one's commented on the color of the "naturals" on the right. That was my first flag. I have never seen a natural with much of a difference in color from the maduros(pretty much always had to rely on the box to be sure). Also the prices on those look a little low, especially for a store that doesn't sound like it specializes in cigars. Then throw in the lack of the serial numbers, I HIGHLY doubt those are legit.

That said, the 64 maduros are my second favorite stick(a very close second to Hemingway Maduros(save for the WOAM, which I dislike comparatively)). Try one if you can find it.

price, bands, serial number 2nd band and the 'natural's' light wrapper all throw up red flags for sure. Unusual to hear of these being faked but at the prices they go for I'd think it an attractive candidate

Its not that unusual to hear of them being faked as thats the reason they added the second band, but its definitely not common. I've never personally seen fakes.

I find it kind of weird that a store as reputable as Spec's would purchase or stumble upon fake cigars. I noticed both of their stores I've been to (in different cities) have smaller locked humidors within the walk-in that contain these.

I'm going to the other store tomorrow so I'll see what those look like.
