Fosgate Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) This image was copyright and the cigars are genuine.....not fakes. Edited February 15, 2014 by Trevor2118 --- Image removed for two reasons:
Fosgate Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Guy suspects they are fake but I dunno. Looks real.
potpest Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 These are real, and taken from a well respected member here Nino's website. They are "An extremely rare box of early diplomatic production Cohibas containing 48 beautifully preserved and cellophaned Coronas Especiales gifted to a foreign personality by the Cuban government"

I was going to make the exactly the same comment as well when I saw this pic. Fos, I believe this thread was originally intended to show fake cigars that people post through social media sources each day by claiming the cigars are legit and having no clue at the same time. I could sit here for hours and post up pictures of fake cigars, especially Cohiba, that are scattered throughout the web, I don't believe it was the intention though. Not trying to shoot you down, jut my 2 cents. The things counterfeiters have come up with recently, as shown in many of the Instagram pics, has been very helpful indeed when learning about fakes. Keep em' coming as people get douped everyday..

b4z00k4 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Nice look on that one. That's a great site too.. I love halfwheel. They do great reviews and have really good coverage of new releases, usually(Both NC and CC). Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
dubleuhb Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Far right is horrible. Fake Dominican ? LOL what's wrong with the far left one?? Find a real band, very easy to see. Now someone get this back on track with the Instagram madness.
Nino Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Fosgate - As another member ( Thank you Potpest !! ) here stated : You have used a picture from my blog depicting original Cohiba cigars in this thread - Please remove your post and don't even dream about using my copyright protected pictures again. 3

Keep em' coming as people get douped everyday.. I thought someone got bent out of shape about making fun of people being taken advantage of on social media and justification to continue was to use this as a learning tool. I'm still learning myself so I apologize if any of these pics are legit and not fakes but this is what it looks like to a cautious noob like myself and it's great to have some of you guys point out the ones that look suspicious to some one like myself because really there is no central thread (At least that I have seen) with so many examples. My guiding light is that of the rules of doing business...never do business with someone you don't trust is the big one that stands out to me. To many people suppress their intuition and get hammered by shady products or people when they do that. So that's why I'm posting some of these. Some I don't know better and need experts here to say otherwise. It's interesting to see how many variations of counterfeits there are in Cohiba alone that I would find it interesting to see what other fakes look like for other brands as customs officials seem to be finding all different types of fakes. http://www.habanos.com/article.aspx?aid=644〈=en http://www.cigaraficionado.com/counterfeit
Fosgate Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Still stand by my stance with Costas and his replacement Merideth. Neither of them are liked in my group large in part of their stance and public political agenda they push toward gun control. Defend yourself and survive to have these people tell you that you don't need a firearm to protect yourself from a violent attempt on your life. I also spent time the former Yugoslavia looking for war criminals taking reports, seeing the atrocities the Bosnians/Serbs committed toward each other. Tell us we don't have the right to protect ourselves after looking at that. Witness or have those incidents happen to you and come see me and tell me my personal and public thoughts about those two is unjustified. Do I wish violence on them no. I just don't really care for those peoples health and welfare as they sure don't care about mine. As for using Nino's pic I'm sorry, I should have used a different search engine that allows to sort out copy write stuff from sharable stuff. Never had a problem before as I did not publish a blog and wipe out the water stamp and claim it as my own which I know people get extremely bent if you do. No harm was intended in my part and I apologize if it offended anyone with any pics posted.
DrunkenMonkey Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Your stance on Bob Costas and the replacement guy (Matt Lauer?) was that you hoped they would die by bacterial infection. If you stand by that I think that tells me all I need to know.
Fosgate Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Not what I said. I said "Maybe with any luck his pinkeye will be fatal and contagious because his replacement isn't much better." Take it how you want. I'm done discussing an issue we will probably not agree on anyway so I think we can just agree to disagree. If you want to continue to try and bust my balls on the issue you can just come on over and kick my dog if you would like. I've apologized for all that I am going to other than I'm sorry if your butt hurts.
