Cany anyone tell me if there are any Cohibas available to the US that are comparable to the cubans?

Man, I really enjoyed this one!

In price? Yes. In taste? No. :-)

Are we talking legal availability?

If we are, I imagine one would have to look for a long time to find a Cohibia that is available legally to the US that tastes like a one produced in Cuba. :-)

There is nothing.
[Reply]

No.

damn.......Next time I go to Jamaica, I'm gonna bring a bunch back not that i have a humidor!
[Reply]

Just get the Cuban ones and be done with it. Nice picture.
[Reply]

All the "Cuban" Cohibas in Jamaica are fake, trust me.
[Reply]

Yea, don't do that.
[Reply]

Agreed. Sorry, bro.


So, that means there is good news! Odds are, there is a cigar available to you that is very similar to what you smoked. You just have to find it. :-)

How do you figure? I have seen a fake VS a real Cohiba. Pretty sure mine was real.

1. The cigar was like nothing I have ever expierenced
2. I have read on how to spot the fakes vs the real ones.

I ment to say now that I DO have a humidor.

Looks to me like a good clone. The yellow band is the wrong color tho. Also just noticed that the H and I have a uneven space between them. If you look at the real Cohiba band on many websites, the spacing is consistent with the rest of the letters.
[Reply]

show me a real one vs mine...........
[Reply]

The font of 'Habana, Cuba' is wrong on yours, bro. Look closely at the real one you posted then at your band. Most glaringly, the "C" in Cuba.

I usually wouldn't go by bands alone but with Jamaica in the mix, that's red flags to me.
[Reply]

Yeah the one you got was fake. The yellow looks off too IMO.
[Reply]

Also just noticed the Font is wrong on your picture. Look at the "C" of Cuba especially... that's a pretty dead giveaway right there.

Dang, beat me too it! lol
[Reply]

well it was damn good if it was fake.............LOL
[Reply]

Fixed that for ya...

Don't feel too bad, if it tastes good, just be glad it wasn't a complete dog rocket. It's gotta be a good feeling knowing that at least it was a good smoke, real or not.

That's what happened to a buddy of mine when he went down to Mexico, came back with some fake Cohibas that were just awful tasting.

Another thing I noticed is that in the picture of the authentic band, there is some black between the gold edge and the bottom row of white squares. On your band, the gold cuts through the bottom row of white squares, with no black in between.

The embossing also seems to be too pronounced.

I'm no expert though. Just pointing out some differences in the pictures.
