I have a couple of Cohibas that were given to me last summer as a gift. They were purchased in the Caribbean. Actually there were 3 of them, but I smoked one right away. Everything about them seemed real except for the one that I smoked had a darker shade of color to it than the other two.

Anyway, I smoked it and it unraveled and fell apart towards the end. This seemed unusual so I thought I'd post to see if anyone has ever had this happen with Cohibas before.

Yeh get a bunch of pics. Most of the sticks from the Caribbean area are going to be fake. I like a good fake spot.

Seen fakes on the net & few people that have bought from cuba off the street.:sick:
But never had a fake cohiba.

Yeah, he put a couple of fakes into the raffle and I got one of those robustos and the other one gone to the rocket man I believe

Yea, it was actually OK. Smokeable- good draw, quite sweet but nothing like a real Cohiba robusto that's for sure I smoked over 3 boxes of C.Robustos recently so I should know...

Aye its not a bad smoke, pretty poor taste first 1/2 inch but then its fine.

I did say I was putting some fake ones in the raffle for a laugh, it wasn't underhand or anything! I put plenty of real ones in too!

Got about 20 of em left to get rid of, will dispatch them through raffles etc, quite obvious they're fake.

How do these look?

The labels look good, can't determine if the cigars are fake - they look fine, but without smelling and smoking its impossible to tell.
