Trying to determine certain types of Cigars

Thanks

I'm guessing that he probably gave you the non-Cuban Cohiba and Montecristo, and Kristoff only exists as an NC brand. If he did in fact give you all NC cigars, it should be pretty easy, just match the band up on what you have to what is shown on the following sites and then check the lengths - you might not even have to worry about measuring the RG unless you have two vitolas that are very close in length.

Kristoff:

Montecristo:

Cohiba:

(choose Cohiba from the menu)

Thanks. I will check these out. According to him the Cohiba and Monte cristo (Open Eagle on the band) are Cuban. The Kristoff says Dominican on the band. Will definitely check the sites you listed though. Thanks

Don't bother with the Montecristo and Cohiba links then, those are for the non Cuban versions.

You can find the Cuban cigar ID guide here:
