Phinz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 My first Fauxhiba. Other than possibly being made of tobacco (smells like nothing, so who knows?), it has little in common with a Cohiba. Thankfully, she didn't buy more than one. This one will live in my humidor (after a month or more in the freezer) until I can think of something fun to do with it, like maybe reuse the "tubo" for a real Siglo when heading to a herf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper669 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It is the thought that counts. I must say the wood tubo is definitely a piece to put on display. I would toss the cigar though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fly Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Got to love Mom! Mine did the same to me once. I thanked her and never told her anything different. I would take a dog **** cigar from my mother and smile!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm leaving it in the tube in the freezer for a month, then I'll disect the cigar and save the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarSeeker Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 That's a cool looking tube but not a cool looking stick. However, the thought counts more than a 1000 cigar. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've experienced this as well. Unfortunately, my gifted fakes did not come with a tube this cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeruby Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd be rapt to know if my mum could even know to the difference between a cohiba and anything, even if it's a fake cohiba. A lotta thought and love has gone into that gift.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 That's awesome! Where'd she pick it up - Miami? Like said above, it's definitely the thought that counts, she got something she thought you'd love. In a way reminds me of a gift my Dad got me once, sample pack from Thompson's with a hat. Couldn't bring myself to smoke the sticks or wear the topper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBANO Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Where'd she pick it up - Miami? Mike, nobody in Miami would have the cojones to sell this cigar with Che's picture. They would be Gator food. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBANO Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Shoot Che is a hero to college aged kids lately...smdh. Yeah, awhile back I asked a young man who was wearing one. do you know who that is, and what Che represents? He had no clue. He said it looked cool. OMG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah, awhile back I asked a young man who was wearing one. do you know who that is, and what Che represents? He had no clue. He said it looked cool. OMG. Had a similar response when I told my cousin. Asked him if it was still cool if the shirt had a pic of Gaddafi or Saddam on it instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I can attest, the mural that Obama stood in front of while delivering one of his speeches in Cuba has been plastered all over t shirts, sweatshirts, lighters, ashtrays and other crap for a while now. Most kids think it represent the revolution or counter culture of some sort, but have NO CLUE who or what the real Che was. We are taught essentially nothing about the Cuban Revolution in US Schools though. In this case its self education or none. Thanks for posting, its always good to see the new and different packaging they are presenting these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG.I own this shirt, but only because the stupidity and lack of education which went into its production amazed me (no, I don't wear it, nor will I, as it's a horrible 'rebranding' of those responsible for the deaths of millions). This is stupidity at an award worthy level: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapaNolan Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Phinz, that shirt is just a pun. It's not glorifying communism, I think you're looking too far into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's a pun, but Joe Stalin in a party hat is damn misguided. Stalin's policies lead to the deaths of 20 million or so (not counting his influence in the Korean War), roughly the current population of Australia.

CigarSeeker Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah but when dealing with Mom I don't think there's anything insidious about considering her feelings. None, zero, zip, nada .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
