Cohiba Gran Reserva?

Sorry guys - I forgot to introduce myself - so just posted in the newbie intro - how newbie of me.... Well anyway, as it goes I just feel like I got ripped off.... especially when you look at that ash... that is one ugly SOB.

And (btw) the cigar tasted like metal - made my fillings taste like I was chewing on tinfoil...now maybe it was too moist and I didn't give it enough time when I pulled it from the wineador to the room temp cabinet (where it sat for a week at 66%).

It was a pain to get it going and had to torch it, which I hate doing and look at that damn mouse hole....

I also noticed the gold boarder edge on the reserva band doesn't have any ridges or raised area...like I saw on some others... it's completely smooth and some of the gold wore off in spots... is it just me or is this totally a counterfeit?

Here are mine; the GR's are pretty light in wrapper colour, also the wrapper "smoothness" isn't known for being necessarily the most beautiful.

The varying gold portions of the GR bands being thin/wide/embossed/flat from cigar to cigar are a little concerning to me. The main band seems to vary as well. I could be wrong but thought I'd chime in.
