Cohiba's

mcadenhead

I was given a sampler of cigars from Costa Rica from my aunt. One of the cigars in the pack is a Cohiba with a gold band. Under Cohiba, it says La Habana, Cuba. Does anyone know if this is a real cuban cigar? Thanks

what does the band look like?

Brown on top with small boxes, goldish color on bottom half. Cohiba in big bold brown letters. Underneath COhiba, it says La Habana, Cuba in cursive writing

The band on mine look's like this, maybe a touch darker. The cigar came in a pack sampler from a shop in Costa Rica. Maybe it's legit. I'm going to be in the Caribbean in May for my honeymoon. Any particular Cuban cigars I should ry?

Fonseca, Cohiba, San Cristobal, Bolivar (though not my favourite), Partagas, Hoyo de Monterrey and Montecristo to name a few. Enjoy yourself.

The only way to know if the cigar is a legit cuban is to buy from the Cuban Gov't-owned stores. They're called La Havana (or something like that - can't remember right now)
