    FAKE!

    I bought two Cohiba from a random “Cuban cigars here” place which is not unusual, we have great cigars generally available everywhere. I sparked it up, got this far, and threw it in the lake!

    So I closely inspected the second one. Check it out:

    White squares are cutoff by the gold! Oh no!
    No holograms! No double head, Head not aligned.

    Look how the label meets up there - so bad!

    No Cuban would roll like that ^

    Look at that mess ^^

    Never will I grab and go again!!! Buyer beware.

    Here’s how labels should look - and I’m sticking to my regular places from now on:

    A friend of mine who imports told me, look for the three rings on the cap. It's a hallmark of cuban rollers that's rarely duplicated.

    May not be the best stick on the market to celebrate another year but WOW WAS IT GOOD. She smoked perfect. cheers everyone!!!

    Of course work never sleeps...woke up in Winnipeg and did a full day, went to the airport, flew to Regina, worked for a couple of hours (hence my laptop), unpacked, ironed, and prepared for a +1hr drive to Moose Jaw tomorrow for another full day. Friday I get home late but on Saturday I expect 2-3 cigars and a nice 18yr old (scotch of course)

    A good rule of thumb to go by his that most of the high end Cuban brands take pride in their products and the labels have to be perfect before they leave the factory. Another one is no box of Cubans ever left the factory with cellophane on it so if you see that somebody is trying to steal your money.

    To add insult to injury, the fake Cubans are generally not even castoff Cuban cigars, rather plugged, **** sticks that wouldn't be worth .25 on their own.

    Pics are on my phone at home but had dinner with a buddy yesterday and relaxed with a nice stick afterwards. Dug up a nice RYJ Museum edition and lit it up. Great smoke although the draw was a bit tough at times. Never had that problem with one of them before but I kept at it and smoked it down to nearly a nub!
