To the point of not being able to judge a CC by it's NC counterpart - RyJ are not normally my thing, but I loved the CC version.

Hypothesis: Your odds of getting a legit CC are better, assuming you don't 100% trust the source, if you go with a brand other than Cohiba?
There is no "counterpart" or association other than the two share the same name. In no way should they ever be associated. There is no such thing as a "non-Cuban version" of a Cuban marca - or vice versa. It would be no different than if you slapped a Partagas band on a Tatuaje or Gurkha and compared the two.

I didn't know that there was no association at all. This all makes so much more sense now, I feel enlightened

Got y'all beat...
Got me a fake CC or maybe NC Cohiba straight from someone who knew someone who sneaked a box of real fake Cohibas in from one of the South or Central American resorts. Pretty bad printed wrapper with 7 rows of dots, gold foil head and name, but no emboss in the word Cohiba and the wrapper is affixed with too much glue and crooked to boot. Horrible construction, lots of mottling, sun spots, veins and bumps. Not a spot of oil and toothy as a dirt road. Even has faded black type! Poor thing is a fugly little bent stick with single cap. Still says Cohiba, though! Think I'm gonna keep it for April 1!

What exactly do you mean by "Good to go" ?

Or maybe I should ask, "good to go" where? And is the trash can an option?

That Cohiba band is pretty sketchy. The Romeo might be ok though.

My same exact thoughts, Adam.

Cohiba band looks way off. RyJ band looks solid though.

LOL right back at you, our new friend. That Cohiba band is about as authentic as Rachel Dolezal.
