Cohiba Siglo's

[BH2876]

These are siglo 1's, the bands don't look right, has anyone ever recieved Siglo's where the white squares on the bands look like this?

[Skyfall]

yikes

[tjohn7]

Those don't look so good, my friend. Been there.

[rickmccarey]

Did you get these from a trusted vendor/seller?

I guess the answers no.

[soutso]

Have you checked the code on the Cuban Govt. seal that is on the box?

[Lotusguy]

The wrappers are gnarly as well. I tend towards fakes.

[Pedro2486]

Can we see the box? We can tell fakes by the Perspex instead of glass top

[Habsfan67]

Fit and finish seems lacking...

[Guest gerlinan]

If you will, in what country did you buy them? You tell have to revel the vendor but the country may help narrow it down. Sadly, they look like fakes to me as well.

That's just the picture angle.

Go look at Rye's instagram. Many wrappers look like that under different light.

Bands could be 'Cuba being 'Cuba'. Cropped too soon or some imperfect bands. What's HSA going to do? Throw out imperfect material?

Caps do look okay, though.

Take a picture of the feet if you can?

I don't know Jeremy, this one I have to disagree with you on. I know Cuba isn't always great with quality control but even looking passed the band, those cigars look miserable. Veiny, bulky, and from what I can see the feet were not finished properly or have a rougher appearance as well.

As far as the band goes, it looks very suspect to me. But my conclusion rests on the way the cigar themselves look at this point.

[Maplepie]

May have to possibly agree with you there, too. Needed to advocate for the good side.

Perhaps I didn't complement the build for a reason

sorry my friend, those are 100% fake

[mikek]

I have A sig.1 in my hand and it looks alot more polished. Before you smoke one do an autopsy on one and see what that looks like.You dont want to get sick.

[tagheuer]

They look very different than Siglo I that I smoked.

[srbbones]

I vote fake as well

[tmac77]

Those look like Quinteros with a bad Cohiba band to me.

[Cisco]

^^ My thoughts exactly. Very Quintero looking.

[...]

For every legitimate Cohiba our there, there is probably four fake ones. When not certain of the dealer/provenance, a Cohiba is statistically very likely to be fake...

Mind pm'ing me the source for future reference?
