fugi_y Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I need some help from you experts. My 2nd time smoking a cuban so I am amateur at best in knowing it's authenticity. I just got back from a week long vacation in Puerto Morelos, Mexico and I bought a 3 cigar pack of Cohiba's in the resorts tobacco/gift shop. The guy I spoke to assured me these are real, but it's his word against my uneducated knowledge of cuban cigars. Anyways, on to the pictures... What do you guys think?Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmelle Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm no expert either but I'm pretty dam sure their fake. The glass top says it all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nekhyludov Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Those are obvious fakes, and it isn't close. Sorry, my friend. Try starting here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yes sorry to say they are not genuine. Out of interest what are they supposed to be? Hope you didn't have to pay too much for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugi_y Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Oh well. That's what I get for not doing my research. I did get hit pretty deep. Lesson learned!Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 At least it was only a 3 pack then rather than a full box of 25! Keep an eye out for the 24:24 sales and you can pick up something genuine. You can always keep that box as a memento of your trip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sorry buddy. Do they taste ok at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattygukas Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 agreed, fake. Glass top, single cap, band is wrong, packaging is wrong... I would cut one open and see what it looks like and if it is a nice long leaf filler fake, smoke it. If it is crappy short filler, toss it as it could have nasty crap in it!

TBird55 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Real cigars, fake Cohiba's.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillEd11 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Agreed that I would love to see one of these cut open. My buddy brought back some Cohiba fakes from Mexico that when we cut open were filled with trimmings and had a ton of hair in them. Gross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave001 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 definitely cut them open and let us know what you find and of course keep the box to remember, sorry it happened to you but since youre now a member of this great forum we shall help you to never make that mistake again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vladdraq Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 They look like Cohibas too me, you can clearly see through the glass top. If they smell like shit they are real. The only concern i have, i never seen Pinocchio's head on the band though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I thought the days of the glass-top Cohibas were behind us in the age of the internet. I see I am wrong. Whether this is a joke question or not, it exists. I do love the effort though. It's pretty rough looking, but clearly there was some time spent on this box and the stickers, etc. simply to sell two cigars. I'd keep it for novelty purposes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhcolbert Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Guys, im new here, but I think we should hold off on the accusations of being a joke. Sure, diligence should be done but if you know nothing about Cubans, are at some resort without your phone and a pushy sales guys accosts you....well, we all can get suckered from time to time in a similar scenario. best thing we can do is point out, "yup fake" and encourage resources like this great forum to learn. now, I'm all about the guy code of fighting, teasing, badgering etc as acceptable forms of male communication. Good for the soul. Sadly, it just comes of poorly behind a keyboard unless you truly know the other person. so, @fugi_y I'll play nice now, but if I ever get the chance to meet in person or get to know you better, I will then unleash teasing you about buying these dog rockets. ?

fugi_y Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 No harm done. I'm a grown man. I wish this thread is a joke, but it is not. I dropped 800 pesos on this pack.Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The good news is that you're in the right place to get some excellent cigars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
