fakes?

I'm scared to find out the truth...but after what dstaccone told me, and a quick check on my part, I think he's right about the Cohibas.

The other two boxes are Romeo Y Julieta , and Monte Cristo.

Did I get totally ripped off?

Re: fakes?

I hope it's possible to get a refund. Just take this as a learning lesson. There are many online resources that will help determine authenticity in the future.

Re: fakes?

The experts here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any Cubans come wrapped in cellophane. Definitely not Cohibas.

Sorry my friend, but the Cohibas are clearly fake and the top two boxes don't look very promising either.

Edit: Geez, I didn't even notice the glass tops. Also, am I just seeing things, or is the lid to the RyJ box actually taped to the base?

Re: fakes?

Live and learn I guess, I bought them while on vacation, so getting my money back is not going to happen, but they wern't very expensive(clue #1), so, damn it, I'm going to smoke them anyways!
