I'd like to trade two CC's, individually or together, please send e-mail with offers. Thanks!

Montecristo Reserva 70th Aniversario
Cohiba Edicion Limitada 2006

How about some pics of the smokes..

Okay, I just signed up for photobucket so I am not exactly sure as to how this works. But here's the link. If you need any other pictures just ask, also, the pictures are really high quality so if you want to further examine them then e-mail me and I'll send you the pictures and you can zoom in really close.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the Cohiba Limited Edicion was only in 2004?

ACTAULLY............NEVERMIND! lol, one look at those pics and they scream "FAKES"!!!!!!!!!! look at that horrible cross section over the cohiba label. looks like someone cut these labels out with a butter knife.
dude were the F did you get those from??

Got them from a family friend who buys cubans extremely often and pays a lot. I would highly doubt that he would get faked on these, but tomorrow you can bet I will go to my local cigar store and ask him to take a look.

Sorry to break it to you, but the Cohiba is 100% fake. If you look at an authentic Cohiba band, if it was the "old style" it wouldn't have 3 rows of dots above the word Cohiba, and if it would have been the "new style" the word Cohiba itself would be abit blurred and offset from its own shadow.

REAL Cohiba labels...

Also, REAL Cohibas have a thin border around the word Cohiba, yours has quite a thick border, and yours also has an extra black border on the bottom of the band.

just added more pictures, if you could take another look it would be appreciated. If they are indeed fake, I deeply apologize for listing these to everyone, it was by no means my intention to trade fake cigars, I have no interest in jeopardizing my name for 2 cigars.

the cohiba label you are showing...the boxes above the word cohiba are to big and open. the word "cohiba" should be raised a bit(perferated), the dots around the LE label should be completely surrounded by black and not just a gold line painted over them. also the box that the word cohiba is in is way to big, a real one is thinner than that.
the monti label...all the white lines look painted on and the actuall label looks to be cut out with an exacto knife by hand, not perfectly straight like a machine would do.
you can ask ANY vet on this forum (steve cohen,jay bourber,doc barry,dr.wu,etc) and they will all tell you these arent legit.the ONLY way i am wrong is ,if it is just your camera not taking the pictures correctly, but i highly doubt that.
the newer pics it is harder to tell, but the first ones just dont look good.
i wish i could upload pics atm, i am looking at a real one(cohiba LE 06) as i look at yours and it is definalty wrong.
sorry.

no problem, I didn't buy them. Although now I get to go publicly embarrass my family friend. Sorry for the confusion, thanks for the help

Nice call Jay. I agree with you, they are all fakes.

As well the font curls on the "C" for Cuba is wrong on the Cohiba. Compare and you will see these are close but no cigar.

The Monti label looks OK, but if one is fake from the source, it is likely that both are fake.

On second thought, I Googled "Montecristo Reserva 70th Aniversario", and this is a Dominican release of the Monti. Blaa!

So these are probably fake as well. No on-line store or even Habanos.com lists these nasty cigars.

Your friend of the family is probably a fake as well. I would dissect him just to be sure. See www.innerbody.com as a comparison.

Tell him to do himself a favor.And learn a little more about what he is purchasing.I hate to see people taken advantage of like that.Maybe next time he takes a trip out of the country.Stop by an LCDH and only an LCDH.In this way he will know what he is getting is real.Then he will have something to compare with.In time he will be as good at spotting fakes as everyone who helped you here.

Fakes....

tell your buddy to invest his money elsewhere

Sorry bud but they are very fake the Monte
does not even have a 70 Ann.. But the Dom. version does I have seen some thing like that in a littl shop in Jersy..

Jason, you might have already seen these, but found some Cohiba band pictures that look like the real deal: http://forums.cigaraficionado.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7666095/m/546109674

Ask your buddy if he got these from Mexico, it looks like the ones I saw there

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread, finals, feeling sick and my birthday weekend took a lot out of me. So I approached the family friend and he still believes there real due to the "luxury cigar store" that he goes to. Anyway, by now I really don't care. Just like to apologize to everyone here, not my intention to trade fake cigars.
