Last year I had a fake Esplendidos that was very good. The cigars pictured appear to be very well constructed with very nice wrappers. If you have already purchased them I would burn one to see how it tastes. If you notice off flavors, then I would carefully cut it open and perform an analysis of the filler and binder. Bad fakes such as those that come in glass top boxes will be filled with all sorts of trash.

These are all authentic labels. The first from a box of 98 Punch Coronas, second from 2007 RYJ #2 tubos and the third from 2001 La Flor de Cano Predilectos Tubulares:

I heard that when shipping, the barcodes allow the boxes to be traced, and so most merchances remove the new warranty seals' barcodes.

Thanks for your help! I will keep that site in mind for the future.

Barcodes are removed by many shippers. For the exact reason you would have to ask them, anything else is merely speculation.
