I’m new to the forum and wanted to say I really enjoy the conversations, so I figured I’d join in. Question on CC’s, has anybody ever seen this one before? I picked some up out of the country, and to be honest, they are pretty damn good. Not sure if they are real though.
hey txsmoker... I'm not sure how much you paid for those Cohibas, but these are VERY expensive cigars, commemorating the 40th anniverasry of the brand..
there are lots of fakes of those flying around.... most people on this site will just jump and tell you they're fakes up front... but i won't..
the question is:
where did you buy them from ?? how much did you pay ??
answer those 2 questiosn, and we'l be able to help you out more...
It looks like a fake band based on the black and white grid. You can tell the top row got cut off. On such a special cigar and band, that kind of inattentiveness to details is highly unlikely.
Why are you following me around this board.Attempting to bait me.You got something on your mind buddy.Or do i have this whole forum thing wrong and i need to run my posts by you and get your O.K.Start what?I will say what i want when i want. Who died and left you boss?

^ LOL at the link I posted. The guy is comparing the 40th Anniversary band to a regular band that he though was real. Turns out the regular band is fake!!

it isn't about who died and left who boss..
in fact, I'm not the boss of anyone, and that is including myself.. I beleive I gave that role to my wife when I got married
it's just that this noob comes here asking for advice, and you're giving these sarcastic responses, in regards to other threads...
put yourself in txsmoker's shoes... he's probably wondering WTF is this guy saying ??
in any case, say what you want.. I guess everyone's right when they call you a troll....
I'll tell you this salibas.You are really a legend in your own mind.You got some imagination.Go on little boy go play with your closet full of cigar boxes.

you know what.. I won't bother with you anymore... i thought you actually had something intresting to say, but I guess you must've drank too much of that wine you supposedly produce, and can only feel better about your life by telling me to go play in my closet with my cigar boxes
i guess what can I expect from a troll???
and BTW, answer all you want, I'll be ignoring you from now on.... you only exist in your head

Originally posted by waverly1: Yeah, finding an authentic Cuban cigar in Jamaica is real tough. Maybe at one of the really nice hotels and then they would be very expensive
not even.. I've stayed at the Sandals in Negril (5+ stars ultra all-inclusive), and all the CC's getting sold there were fakes...
i even tried a HdM DC for the hell of it one night (knowing that they were fakes, but I wanted a change from the local cigars ), and i almost puked my stomach out...

There is no way that they are authentic, sorry. Chalk it up as part of the learning process.
You mentioned that they smoked quite well; what you might do is just keep one (segregated from your other stock-- you don't really know what's in these fakes), then get some authentic Cohibas from either a reputable vendor or a LCDH. Acquire a palate for the real thing, then compare-- if you dare.

Any LCDH will do.It all depends what part of the world you are in.I have always gotten a fair shake there.I like to walk into a humidor look feel smell etc.It is the ritual of buying the cigar that is fun.You can not get that over the net.When you walk into their humidor with a pocket full of cash you own it in a sense.You may purchase what you wish at you leisure.No rush no worries about authenticity. To me thats what makes the hobby fun.Whatever you decide enjoy.Try this link. http://www.lacasadelhabano.cu/
