If so, the likelihood of their being fakes is quite high.....pretty
much a certainty. IIANM, 1998 was prior to the use of the newer
warrantee seals, with the serial #'s. Sorry :(

Thanks I had a feeling they were too mild. Good yard stick though.

Good attitude ! I had some "fake" Cuban HUpmann's (coincidently from
Miami) quite a while ago that were some VERY good cigars. Not Cuban
tobacco, and not what I expected when purchased, but I enjoyed every
one I smoked, even after learning that they were not Cuban.

I'm surprised you guys are not more angry about this kind of thing.

I was at the time, but that was 10 years ago.

Was it a particlar vendor? So that the rest of us won't make that same
mistake.

It was a guy named Colin something...he sold from Yahoo.

I guess if they did turn out as fakes and were still pretty good
smokes, that would be some kind of small silver lining in a cloud.

Minor at the time, more consolation in retrospect :)

Still, it has never happened to me before, and I'd probably be pretty
pissed off, even if they were decent smokes.

I was....got a refund for some of them.
