Please Help. Fakes?

[matt257]

Hi Guys

I have my own forum and someone seems to have been screwed over with some fake Cubans. My forum is US based so some people aren't sure. I am no expert myself so thought I would bring it to the experts

I am positive the '04 and Monte EL are fakes. But I am unsure about the #2 and the '03

Any input would be fantastic

The 2000 robusto looks a bit dodgy!?!? Hard to tell with the wee pics...can you enlarge Matt?

The band on the Sublime is a bit wonky too.

That's the size they were sent to me in. Is there anyway to enlarge them?

Probably not without introducing grainyness...sorry mate

I didn't think so

[matt257]

Anyone? I know the pics are not great. But any insight would be awesome

Purchased.

I have the EL 2006 MC and thankfully they do not look like the one in the photgraph.

I don`t like the look of that at all Matt.

Have to agree with Stevieboy that better photos would be a bonus.Any idea where abouts in the world they were purchased?.

Hi Matt

Will have a closer look at bit later on today, i think i have most of those in my collection so will pull them out, photograph and post up a bit later...

Like the other guys tho i really don't like the look of the Monte robusto.

As Whisky suggested have you any idea where they were purchased from...?

Also what do they feel & smell like...?

Catch up later, HabanoSy

[matt257]

Thanks for the replies guys. They are not mine, so I can't say how they feel/smell. I don't know the initial source, but the guy that has them now got them from a recently outed scammer.

Shit Happens, man!

How much does your mate what for 'em?

I could be interested in the "robusto" shown in the first and last pics, but can't quite make out the year of the EL, it appears to be missing from the band!!! IMO, such a condition usually indicates a problem, senor (?) matt

Names TJ, TJCoro, and looks like your mate was swindled

Senor TJ!!!! NO NO NO . Such a classic rookie error...the 2000 ELs had no date on them. Hang your usually-knowlegeable head in shame

[Deano]

Oh no, I feel a new bad boys club coming on.

Pie?

How`s the pie TJ?

[TJCoro]

Shit happens again, I guess.

How`s the pie TJ?

No so good, senor booze


Oh well, when you toss 'em out as much as I do, you gotta expect to take one on the chin ever now and then.

But being the man that I am, I will leave my post up for 1 full hour for all to see that ol' TJ can take it almost as well as he gives it. Then I'm going to moderate the hell out of it!!!.

After all, I'm TJ, TJCoro Damn It! And my fist EL was in 2001

Pay No Attention To The Man With Pie On His Face!

Senor TJ!!!! NO NO NO . Such a classic rookie error...the 2000 ELs had no date on them. Hang your usually-knowlegeable head in shame

Nobody told meeeeee, damn it!!!

And all the children in Puro Land gathered around the old man to tease and ridicule him. Some even kicked him while he was down

Other threw moon pies and flashed their fingers. Some simply texted their friends, all at the expense of the kindly, but sad old man who was never, ever seen again in the Land Of Puro.


See kids, I told you there was nothing magical going on here...turns out that the old mystic TJ was just a regular fello...just like you and me!
