Matt R:
Cohibin... no disrespect, but time for you to line up all your facts before posting. The Cohiba EL Piramides did not come in a jar. They come in standard Cohiba varnished boxes and retail for around $400-$500 depending on the vendor and are readily available. The only Cohiba piramides available in a jar are the millennium series made in 1999. These are around $700-$1000, also depending on the vendor. The cigars you show may very well be a Cohiba blend, as it is possible to have anything made in Havana, if you have the connections. Custom rolled cigars are generally priced under what an official release cigar is priced at, though this varies from roller to roller. Some rollers have a higer rate because of their notoriety or the quality of tobacco they are granted access to. I have custom rolled Cohiba A's, Salamones and have seen many others, including perfectos. These were all made for a friend of mine, on a visit to Havana, at the El Laugito factory (if I'm not mistaken).
You will also find that most folks here are going to view ANY posting about someone's family member working at a factory as humorous. This is a running joke among cigar aficionados and has been for years. Your "brod" may very well have worked there, but the statement will still be viewed rather comically. The majorit of us are not beginners to this hobby of ours and many of the members here have been to Havana or have close personal friends who go regularly.
Now, for a kudos to you.. the cigars you have pictured are very nice works, whether they are Cohiba blends or not. May have to look into getting some of those to add to my Cohiba collection.
Cohibin: Mr. Matt. You sound like I'm trying to pull the world over everybody here.
I'm not justifying anything to anybody here and I don't need the stamp of approval of authenticity regarding my cigars from anybody. I'm also not trying to depretiate your status of "advanced smoker" if you may?
My story may be comical humorous and whatever other demeaning characterization you may want to choose, but bottom line, it's the truth and I'm not about to invent some **** to please standars of "my story is serious and yours is comical" or some other stigma. I can care less who laughs. I'm not here to convince anyone. I'll be smoking these babies and enjoying every puff to the T regardless. Again, if it wasn't my brother I'd be scratching my head right about now, but since he is, and all said was, maybe you should scrartch yours!?
You're absolutly right, I think I'm save to say they are Cohiba Pyramid, Special Edition??? I thought that and LE meant the same thus I associate them to the jar ones, but clearly is not the same. See pic
http://fujipub.com/btac/s9903.html That's the one I got. I also have 5 left Cohiba pyramids of a lighter wrapper.
All I know is these new ones are cohibas pyramids dark wrapper, may that fall under your most favorite collection. Before I had a bundle of 25 pyramids with light wrapper and they were top notch too. Excuse my lack of conosourness. That's why these forums exist right!? to help the unenlightened ones
That being said, I can't stop stearing to them jejeje!!!

Quite the opposite. Just pointing out that on a weekly basis, new members arrive here and at each and every other forum saying they have this or that and it came from my *insert your favorite family member here*. Making the point that there are a good many people who aill dismiss your opinions because of that.

Impossible, as I am a legend in my own mind.

I can't keep my hands off myself. So, that should be no problem.

No, they would be custom rolled, not special edition. Special edition would infer that they were made and released in a limited quantity. The ones you have may or may not be the ones pictured, since the ones in the picture do not show the boxing. A very few Cohiba piramides were made and boxed years ago for a private collector. I'm sure others have been made since then, but have not seen any. I believe Gerard's, in Geneva holds a few of these boxes. Again, the ones in the jar are not Edicion Limitada. They were released in 1999-2000 to celebrate the millennium and they were not banded with a Cohiba band. Instead they had the Millennium 2000 labeling. The Edicion Limitada Cohiba Piramides are packaged in the standard varnished Cohiba box with the "old" Cohiba bands and an additonal Edicion Limitada band.

No, actually I prefer the typical Cohiba reddish-brown wrapper. The darker wrappers do not burn as well.

If I knew what that was I'd excuse it.

Actually I thought they were here so we could do something other than the work we are being paid to do. They are also a great place to bust the balls of people on a daily basis.

I know what you mean. My wife has nice breasts, so, I can relate.
Cohibin: Mr. Matt el disectador. Conosourness... I think you got the point or I hope you did. You're not the guy who's always left holding the bag are you?Author's license by the way. And if you didn't get it yet forget it, because "doblo la esquina".
Wish I had the time to rebuke all your comments (only my 2 favorites), but I rather look at my girls breasts while smoking my Cohiba Pyramids Special Editions! (eat your heart out ) boooong I'm in too good of a mood. The guy who sold me my latest car offered to buy my entire collection at a very nice price. I'm contemplating it seriously.
"No, they would be custom rolled, not special edition. Special edition would infer that they were made and released in a limited quantity."
Hmmm last time I checked Limited Edition ment released in a limited quantity. Special Edition does not imply that at all. Special Edition implies they are made with special characteristics than the rest, but not limited to quantities. Lay off the hands and get some real breasts boss, getting confused by your own smoke
"Impossible, as I am a legend in my own mind".
This is toooooo funny!!!
More from Cohibin: Your services are no longer required!!! I've accomplished what I needed from this pathetic forum. Lock me, ban me, do whatever the **** you all want. Eat **** for all I care. (this is only directed to some, yeah you know who you are)
For those naive ones that come here for info and take the word of people here as the bible, perhaps you should know some of these clowns are being paid by the communist regime to establish themselves as “experienced Habanos smokers” and spread the disencouragement of the purchase of legitimate cigars anywhere else other that in "official" stores in Cuba, by rendering stigmas of mockery over stolen cigars. This is simply another measure to put the smackdown in the ever-prolific cigar theft in all Habanos S.A. factories. Since they’ve seen they can’t nip it at the factory level, the next step is to do all that’s possible to nip it at the consumer level.
You’d be better off trusting your instincts and tastebuds over the “experienced advise” of these fake thugs that yap their filthy rotten mouths like they know what the **** they’re talking about.
