Cuban or not?

skidmark · February 2009

Hello all. I have just joined this forum. It's nice to be here. My name is John, but I go by my nickname which is Skidmark. We'll go into that at a later time. I have a question for those more knowlegable than myself (which is most of you). I was given Cohiba and I was told it was a Cuban. I have my doubts. The metal tube it came in says: Cohiba La Habana Cuba Esple'ndidos. The cigar itsself only says Cohiba Habana, Cuba. Does anyone have any idea if this is actually a Cuban or a counterfiet.

Thanks for any input.

No idea without seeing it. Google it and see if there was such a cigar made, then look at the band and see if it meets any of the known counterfiet bands.

I think CA actually has a gallery of counterfeits on its website. Lots of pictures, comparing reals vs fakes. Worth taking a look if you're not sure.

Some people think it's funny...but it's really dark and runny.

"Hot" and runny, is the way we learned it in my neck of the woods.
