I was surprised by the whole post...

[PeeJay]

It certainly justifies breaking cover for your fourth post!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news here but there's a distinct lack of stickers on this box....

Maybe it came from a worker at the factory

[ha_banos]

Good point! Hope they smoke well dude. But like Joey says. There should be at least a couple of stickers adorning the box.

Without knowing more about the circumstances. They are likely not to be the real deal...

Leave it to you to ask questions!

Yea have to agree they look suspect to me.

Thanks for the comments guys. They are a nice smoke but the Cohiba band is slightly different to other original bands - hence I didn't state that they were originals but they are at least very good copies.

Just be careful what you're smoking pal, sacrifice one and cut it open, I have been gifted these kind of cigars before, filled with floor sweepings including scraps of plastic.

I didn't want to be 'that guy' but I completely agree.

I saw this on another site and thought of this post: Fake cigars mean bad tobacco leafs, not cured, not fermented correctly and rolled outside of a factory.

I'm not honestly sure how much of the above is 100% accurate, but it's worth bearing in mind.

Thanks Joey and everyone,, I appreciate your advice I really do - that's why we join these forums eh?

They were sent by a good friend / work pal who wouldn't knowingly send me duff cigars... and he hasn't. They burn well and are a very decent smoke - I'm no 'expert' but I can recognise a nasty smoke

Whether they are 100% or not is countered by their quality - not Magicos for sure but thankfully not Plastocos

I live in Thailand and there is a massive duty on all things 'good' so my cigar purchases are mostly from airports when travelling to and from work... but work has been slim recently so these are well recieved right now.
