lavish&acquiredtaste Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hi guys - I just bought a box of "Cohiba Piramides". Not "Cohiba Piramides Extra", and not "Cohiba Piramides Limited Edition". Just "Cohiba Piramides". They come in tubes, its a box of 15 tubos. The quality is impressive - the bands are on point and look legit, with holograms and everything. I'm only suspicious because of the following: relatively low price the lack of "Cohiba Piramides" online the fact that the head on the band is missing the white line/border around it. The fact that the hologram only says "cohiba" and not "cuba" The fact that the head hologram does not have fine lines in it. Could this all just be because its a special or old version? A production mistake due to which im getting them cheaper through an insider? wishful thinking? Thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavish&acquiredtaste Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks @Fuzz - I've written a short introduction of myself here. Would really appreciate everybody's help with this though as I have the opportunity to buy another one of these boxes tomorrow at a very, very low price. Don't want to spend any cash on it though if they're fake. The pic below doesn't give it justice - the "cohiba" hologram at the top and bottom of the band is crisp and clear, no printing issues whatsoever... Thanks!

Islandboy Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 FWIW, my cardboard 3-packs say “Piramides Extra”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Sure fake. And they didn't do their homework. But really a mighty fine wrapper on this piramides. Would you mind disclosing source and what you paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritter6788 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The tip of the neck at the bottom should not be touching that square on the left. Most of the fakes with decent bands I've seen are that way. The font on "Habana, Cuba" looks off too. Should look like this and also have the thin lines running through the hologram but on through the center/second head. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
