Well i had my first authentic Cohiba siglo VI a couple of weeks ago gifted to me by a customer. Beautiful cigar very unique flavor. I wont review it thats not why im here. Tonight i was given a suspect cohiba by my boss. He literally gave it to me and said I cant tell you if its real but here ya go. Inspection of the cap revealed that this was not a cohiba. No big deal. Heres what gets me, the fake tasted like the real one almost identical. It burnt very funny and didnt draw at all at first. Finally it opened up enough to get a really good taste of. Like I said it had the great taste and the power of the one i know was real. Then i lost the draw again and gave up. So was it real cuban leaf just not true "cohiba" product or am I just a stoopid newb?


notes:
this is not a shot at my boss. :D

the first cigar came from someone who smokes nothing but cohiba isom's :thumbs:
 
I have had a few fakes that were Cuban tobacco im sure, just not the brand displayed.
Some were decent, and some were so bad like Dirick's experience.
 
I was "gifted" a ISOM which the FOGs on this BB told me was probably a fake. It had to be one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. I am not an expert on ISOMs but I have had a few since then and they all had similarities. Come to find out that the original "fake" was a "farm grown" ISOM.....

People will actually grow the tobacco on their own property and roll it. Then someone will steal bands from the factory.

Just my 2¢
 
anybody know how i can get a couple of tons of cuban soil? :p thats what i need :thumbs:
 
Seriously...almost anything that is real Cuban tobacco is a good smoke. Just about... ;) 'Cause not all are always good all of the time, but always good most of the time and sometimes good every time :laugh: ...But that's just my .02
