Real Grabba,
or a Fake?

Counterfeits have been turning up — mostly in the Northeast. Use this side-by-side to check your bottle against the real BUTTAS Hot Grabba before you light up.

Now Flip It Over

The address can match on a real bottle — so the barcode is what gives the fake away.

● Authentic — back
Authentic older back label — 4955 Hialeah address, tight barcode

Genuine older bottle — same 4955 Hialeah address, but the barcode is tight and evenly spaced. Newer bottles read 9399 NW 13th St, Miami and are genuine too.

● Counterfeit — back
Counterfeit back label — 4955 Hialeah address, stretched barcode

Same 4955 Hialeah address as some real bottles — so look at the barcode: the bars are stretched and spaced out. That's the giveaway.

Newer authentic back label — 9399 Miami address, tight barcode
● Also genuine

Newer bottles read 9399 NW 13th St, Miami FL 33172 — same tight barcode, same deep dark red. Whether your real bottle says 9399 (newer) or 4955 (older), it's 100% genuine. The barcode and color are what separate it from a fake — not the address.

Know the Tells

Start with the color and the barcode — those two never lie. The more that match the right-hand column, the surer you can be it's a fake.

1

Color of the label

✓ Authentic
Deep, dark red label. The tobacco leaf reads rich golden-brown.
✕ Counterfeit
Bright, light red label. The leaf looks washed-out and yellow.
2

Barcode spacing

✓ Authentic
Tight bars and evenly spaced numbers in one clean block.
✕ Counterfeit
Bars and numbers look stretched and spaced way out.
3

Net weight

✓ Authentic
Front label clearly lists NET WT 0.2116 oz.
✕ Counterfeit
No weight printed anywhere on the bottle.
4

Distributor address

✓ Authentic
Reads 9399 NW 13th St, Miami (newer) or 4955 E 10th Ave, Hialeah (older). Both are real.
✕ Counterfeit
Also copies the 4955 Hialeah address — so this one alone won't tell you. Check the barcode and color.
5

The punch

✓ Authentic
Packs a real punch — the elevation you know BUTTAS for.
✕ Counterfeit
Weak and rough. No kick, no buzz, nothing.
⚠️
Don't get tripped up by the address. Both genuine older bottles and fakes can read 4955 Hialeah. The real difference is the barcode (real = tight, fake = stretched) and the color (real = deep dark red). A 9399 Miami address is a newer genuine bottle. When in doubt, trust the color and the barcode.

If it don't punch,
it ain't BUTTAS.
