Nevrknow Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 Trying to share my new found CC passion with my neighbor and his friend brings him this from the Virgin Islands. I’m to new to this so I consider myself slightly more educated than a cruise tourist thanks to this forum. ( I’m getting there ! ) Head and Cohiba embossed. Gap at the bottom of the C in Cuba. No uv anywhere. I have been researching old bands for the last 2 hours and haven’t seen one close to this. He says tell me if it’s fake. I said to me it is but I know the right people who can confirm or deny my opinion. 1
Nevrknow Posted November 22, 2020 Author Posted November 22, 2020 Cut it open to find this lovely conglomeration. Sadly, no plastic in it. ? 1

Cairo Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 One more clue--those white squares on the band should be perfectly centered--top and bottom. The top row should not be a partial square. The face should also be perfectly centered. This is not a close call--bad fake. 1
Nino Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 Very bad fake. 4 hours ago, Nevrknow said: I have been researching old bands for the last 2 hours and haven’t seen one close to this. This should help you and it's only a 10 minute read : https://ministryofcigars.com/how-to-spot-a-fake-cohiba/ 3
Connoisseur Kim Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Low quality Cohiba band & chopped filler leaves are the proofs that this cigar is fake buddy. The band looks way too thick compare to legit ones.

Nevrknow Posted November 23, 2020 Author Posted November 23, 2020 My fault for giving him one of mine. Bought here of course. The poor bloke was trying. ?. All good deeds.....
