In price? Yes. In taste? No.

Are we talking legal availability?

If we are, I imagine one would have to look for a long time to find a Cohibia that is available legally to the US that tastes like a one produced in Cuba.

How do you figure? I have seen a fake VS a real Cohiba. Pretty sure mine was real.

1. The cigar was like nothing I have ever expierenced
2. I have read on how to spot the fakes vs the real ones.

Sorry, didn't mean to insult your obvious expertise on Cuban Cohibas.

I didn't mean to come off as a dick. It just kinda threw me aback when someone told me my "cuban" was a fake even without knowing what it looked like or what not.

Kinda like me telling you that someone is an ass without ever meeting them or talking to them.

I apologize.

I own a condo in Negril and have been going there many times a year for 5 years and have not found a legit cuban cigar yet(They might exist but are very hard to find). There is a place on fantasy strip in mobay called the the habana club that is a very nice bar. I quite often go in there and have a couple drinks and enjoy a cigar(brought from home). I do suggest checking it out. The atmosphere is great and they have a walk in humidor. That might be your best bet on finding a real Cuban. good luck, have fun & dont let them hustle you.

Agreed. Sorry, bro.


So, that means there is good news! Odds are, there is a cigar available to you that is very similar to what you smoked. You just have to find it.

Looks to me like a good clone. The yellow band is the wrong color tho. Also just noticed that the H and I have a uneven space between them. If you look at the real Cohiba band on many websites, the spacing is consistent with the rest of the letters.
