Wow, who would bother?!

[Lotusguy]

Hope they came in glass top boxes

Counterfeits are a copy of the original. So I guess the General Cigar Co has a few of these just anyway. 

Is it just me, or are these awful looking fakes?

[Dbone]

Man, those red dot Cohibas are downright nasty.

[nick17]

they didnt try that hard... the fact people will fake anything today be it LV or a Cohiba is sickening

[Fuzz]

Red Dot Cohibas, IMHO, are counterfeit Cohibas, so that means somebody counterfeited counterfeit Cohibas!

I have never bought any of the Cuban name brands that are Dominican. Why bother. I mean, do the eve come close.....

There was (or still is) some guy who was notorious in prior years for obstinately using the Cohiba orange & black band-and white dots of course-on his Dominican cigars with the express purpose of giving them that aura. I can't remember his name...Rodriguez something or other. And his cigars which included "Cohiba"s and Montecristo "Habanos" sold very, very well. And they WEREN'T bad cigars to boot. I learned these things from the B&M owners who informed me that this "Rodriguez?" guy kept being warned, admonished, etc. and that he belligerently continued in his copy-cat cigar band antics. I'm wondering if this Dominican Cohiba cigar business has this same guy behind it.
