99call Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Whenever I see stuff like this, I thank god for not liking Cohiba. I feel good for those who do enjoy Cohiba, but for those who don't, it's such a blessing on so many levels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSmoke Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Here is another band comparison for the group. One of these is fake and the other is real. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a damn good fake too. The best I've seen. In fact, it's such a good fake that it makes me not want to buy cohibas anymore. They just have a few subtle things that are off, otherwise its perfect.

Left one is from a resort in Punta Cana, DR the right is from our host. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using TapatalkThe only giveaway that I had was the lowest part of the neck that comes to a point should never touch the block on the left. It should only touch the block on the right. Also there should be a small gap between the block on the left and the point of the neck. If anyone didn't know this, there you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSmoke Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It’s hard to tell from the picture, but the fingerprint is more clear on the legitimate band and the hologram is also more vibrant. If you didn’t have a real one to compare it too, it is much harder to see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Left is the fake. Look at these. Different vitolas from different and trusted sources. Aside from the thumbprint not being clear and COHIBA doesn't appear to as embossed, biggest giveaway for me the point of Taino's neck should be on the right square, not dead center..... and now the counterfeiters that see this will adjust! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The one on the left also appear not to be a true hologram. Its printed to appear holographic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you guys spot the differences? In the top band, the gold strip is slightly wider than the bottom. I had a few that had this in the past as well and always wondered if this is a sign of a fake as well. Aren't they suppose to be equal width? The cigar smoked great but what do I know. I got the siglos tubos in Cayman Islands from what seemed to be a reputable seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
