Will pp refund you considering it's tobacco? Be interesting to hear what happens

Could get suspended, PP don't allow the purchase of tobacco products.

Further update...just took out my CR supremos put them next to them...looks like the RG is off...these are 56 and should 58.

Refund...lucky paid with pp using service incase it was a dodgy batch

I asked him about them and he said he had 10 but no box so I left them. I would have nabbed them if I?d seen pictures like that! Nice score Shamir.

O really....he only said 6 to me, unless someone bought a few...he said to me he had the box and send me photos straight away with his name and date on the photos...

I took a punt on them and seem to check out.

The bands look fine so does each cigar...one slightly damaged foot which will be lit to try it out.

The box serial and box date seemed fine...either it's a brilliant fake or I've nabbed my self a bargain lol

They definitely look real to me or the fakes have really stepped up their game!

Was his price 35? Thats eleven quid a stick over a ton cheaper a box? Demand outstrips supply prices go up! Maybe he is naive and thinks old cigars go cheaper... i’m almost temped to order up a bunch and see if he can supply more. The answer would be telling. Maybe he only has a few and someone is going to get a hella deal.... but for 30+ a stick i want to be dead certain, box, papers etc black light check.

I agree I’m just playing devils advocate.

I’ve messaged him for pictures out of interest, he says he no longer has boxes/paperwork which puts me off but I’m intrigued. Things like Vegueros No2 and RG Lonsdales have likely never been faked though which is interesting. Still too risky for me I think.

Unless he’s pricing them at a UK store less a bit and that store is long out of stock e.g.

Age old adage, if it looks too good to be true it probably is. Someone selling this inventory knows that a box of supremos is ?400plus amongst good friends....and he’s chipping out at thirty five. Maybe he wants shot of them but the other prices are not similarly favourable.... weird. Avoid.

Aside from the band (which could be genuine) how can you tell a fake cigar? Of course if it looks imperfect that's a giveaway, but otherwise and if it's the same dimensions as a genuine one are there any other signs?

Your olfactory senses can sometimes tell you more than your eyes can see.

Cigar Aficionado has some good online articles about this if you Google them

No protection buying tobacco with PayPal. They actually prohibit tobacco sales hence why everyone says not to mention tobacco.

Well then I definitely wouldn?t buy anything off him not in person!
