eBay fake rubbish - post here

[ValeTudoGuy]

I imagine that the quality of fakes can have a huge variety. Not worth the risk IMO!

I'm curious how a 'fake' cohiba would actually smoke...

Some aren't good- short filler, bad rolled, tobacco was picked yesterday, etc.
Some aren't bad- long filler, rolled decently but look terrible, really veiny, etc.
Very few are good-I had a fiver at home that's actually pretty good. Came in cello wrapped and obviously fake as they were maduro, very veiny, etc. But it smoked reminiscent of a sweet bolivar. I would've ranked those higher than a Boli LE2009

First section is most likely though. All mine were bought when I was first starting or gifted to me by non-smokers at a special event or back from Cuba.
Discourage knowingly buying fake sticks. Education = lack of demand = lack of supply.

.... because we might ask what became of the outer which carries the Warrenty seal, the diagonal Habanos sticker which should be on the box and the Official Cuban cigar receipt, without which they would have been confiscated at the airport

.... apart from that he's 50 posts shy of being able to sell on here. The Cohiba clasp looks a wee bit suspect, but the cigars and bands don't look too bad at all IMO.

Any thoughts of legitness. What makes me ponder is why not sell them on here not ebay

I also wondered about what looks like a block of solid wood on the bottom layer.... surely it would be paper in a recent box ?!

Nicked from an Monte Especiales or a Qd'O box.

The seal looks genuine .... except it should be on a 5 or 3 pack.

Aha missed you too butters! I have no excuse other than this forum is the ideal procrastination and I have not needed escape from work until now! Also I am boracic lint so can't afford cigars and this forum is like a cigar tease

Suffice to say my last few months have consisted of winning a gameshow and smoking bensons!
