Thread: Did some shopping today!

Bought a huge cabinet humidor that should be here in a couple weeks that holds around 2200 cigars that will be going in my wine cellar(will post pics when it comes in). While I was at my local cigar shop I decided to by a couple of boxes of cigars. Here are some pictures.
Box of behike



Bought a box of Padron Maduros

Really nice ash tray with matching lighter (they only had the lighter in white)



Really cool torch lighter

Wow!! Great pick ups!!

Can't wait to see the cabinet

Great smokes and really cool torch!

Nice Padrons, but I wouldn't put those fake Behikes in your new humidor.

If you are in the States, I was wondering how they were selling you Cohibas here legally. That looks like a Behike 56 but check youtube...they have a video that compares fake 56's to real...

If that's a Behike, it was run over by a truck, and the packaging is all wrong, not even close.

Just returned them. Was on cigar aficionado and read a whole article on the fake Behikes. Store owner apologized and returned my money.

Too bad about those Cohibas...

Why the heck was he selling them in the first place?

1. It is illegal...I don't agree with it but those are the cards we are dealt.
2. He sold you fakes...if he wasn't aware of it or not...both cases would worry me a lot.

That is 2 strikes...3 if he over-charged you.

To OT...some nice purchases...aside from the bad fakes. Those Padron 85's are fantastic smokes...enjoy!

At first, I was very skeptical when he showed me the behikes. I have smoked Behikes before, but never knew how to tell if I was buying a real box or a fake. He had these in a private area away from the public and only showed me his "cuban" stash because I just bought a huge humidor from him. When I got home, I did some research on them and noticed right away that they were fake. When I returned them, he told me they were 100% real and that I shouldn't worry about it. I showed him the article on cigar aficionados website and told him if he didn't return my money I would cancel the giant humidor I just bought from him as well. In the end, he was very apologetic and told me to pick out another box of padrons. Its safe to say that I probably wont be going back for more cigars.
