Top two look really fake (extra black above dots), 3rd I question a little due to the "B" in "habana" and the cut off top black area near dots. The last one looks the most legit except from this pic the "COHIBA" look off
Is there some kind of "guide" with all these neat little rules? I've seen a few videos and things online dealing mostly wth Cohiba Behikes (like what the box should look like, how the holo looks) but have never seen anything like a comprehensive set of things to look for on specific lines to determine their legitimacy. Would it be bad taste to have a "guide to CC's" thread on here, since really some of us shouldn't be looking anyway

This is the one I look at, as I have no first hand knowledge of what they should look like. I think some here just open their humidors and check :P.

Is that link right? It took me to CA, but no article or anything. Of course having one right in front of your face to reference is best!

It may also help to know where they came from/how you came about them.
If we eavesdrop on the conversation on the beach in mexico, then perhaps we can shed some light and be a better judge of the authenticity. "hey man..you wanna buy some cigars? real good ones...pretty cheap, but i need money..my daughter is sick, so i need to liquidate some cigars oh yeah, real sad, but the doctors for her specialized medical needs are expensive so i just gotta get what i can.....yeah i know that it seems to good to be true, but there are angels everywhere, and i just need some cash.....oh yeah, well these were special edition ones, my brother in laws, neighbours friend knows this guy who used to work @ the factory so i have real solid connections and know these are legit....oh the glass top box...oh yeah, remember i said they were special edition...well they came in this exclusive case...think they were to be aimed @ the uber-rich, or heads of state or something...he took quite a risk getting them out of the factory....oh, the cello's...hmmm, yeah that is part of the aging process they use on all legit cubans...you know, they make, age them for decades, so they aint green...like those fake ones you buy for big bucks that r filled with cuban scraps, dog poop and other bugs they sell to unsuspecting tourists....oh yeah, the lettering...u see these are actually prototypes of the new labels...that is how exclusive these are, they are all slightly different labels, dots sizes, font on Havana and even the gold embossing on Cohiba is different on all those i am letting you have the opportunity to buy from me...i really dont wanna sell em...but u know i gotta....for my daughter....so how many glass-toped boxes you want...i can cut you a deal if you buy 100 or more " **note if you are still reading....i agree with the other botls that they seem to be fakes....for those and a few more reasons...if in doubt...assume they r, freeze them and dont mix with your others....sacrifice them, being aware that if they dont taste good right away...they r not real.
hope you realized i was only having some fun. I hope they are real...but i am not sure. Hope no offense was taken...and that we can all just get back to normal around here. I can send you some that i know are real...but with the current pics it is too hard to tell.
I'm with several others on this. Looks like the top 2 have the curly going through the C in cuba ?? Bottom one doesn't look right with the cohiba name. But hard to know for sure from photos.

I quite liked your story.
I assumed he had been stalking Goldy to Mexico. Listening at a discrete distance.
