Cohiba Esplendidos

Bands- correct (but when they are opened up everything is centered and not off centered like the ones on here)
Directions inside- correct
Green and White label on the outside- correct
Dividers- correct
Came in the wax paper
Hologram on the bottom left hand corner- ??? correct?
Sticker inside cover- Big head, thick bold cohiba print- fake
Stamp on botom- no hand writing at all and the MKO JUN 05 is off center- fake?

I cut one open and it is all long filler, but is it possible they could be non cuban tobacco.

The wrapper is pretty much flawless, no soft spots, hard spots. Very small veins etc.

Please help im going crazy!

Where were they bought?
Don't give the internet address if it was the internet.
If it was Cuba, where in Cuba.

A simple question, inferring from your post. If you cannot distinguish the VAST difference between Cuban and Non-Cuban tobacco, why buy one of the most expensive regular line Cuban cigars in the first place?

If you don't know their provenance, there's no telling unless you smoke one and compare them with other, legit Cohibas.

From the price you said you paid for them on another board, they are counterfeit.

I will try to answer for nciovino:
Obviously he is a beginner smoker but it does not disqualify him from smoking the best Habanas he can afford, does it? Would you prefer him to smoke NC horseshit? How he can learn this way?

On the other hand if your intention was to warn him that Cohibas are the brand which is most commonly faked then you could do it in a little more polite, civlized and direct manner.
