Are these fake ?

Hi

I just received a box of siglos which is from a reliable source, but then again thats what we all tell ourself.

They look fishy to me can some one confirm.

What are your concerns? I'm not educated to say yes or no...but they look right to me. What does the foot/pack look like? Did you check the serial number?

The colours look off, also is that an old band ?

I aint educated in that regard as well so i thought i would ask.

August 2011. Looks like the correct band...but again...I'm the last guy that should be saying. Sooo...I'll sit back and learn.

Try one! If you know Cohiba, you'll know after the first full puff whether you're dealing with the real deal.

So what's the verdict?  They look legit to me from what I can see in the pictures. Inquiring minds want to know

[RijkdeGooier]

Send over the box and I'll test them cor you?  

 

They look legit - did they have a yellow ribbon with 1942 on it on them?

[Smoke6]

Box of 10, no yellow ribbon

[Waah954]

Na there was no yellow ribbon!

IMHO the font on the wrappers looks sloppy/fat/smeared especially the "n" in Havana and the "u" in Cuba.. that would give me enough pause not to buy them. Of course I typically avoid Cohiba anyway.. ?

This is typical for the real ones actually.

Is it just me or are the wrapper colors out of order? (may just be the lighting or Cuba being Cuba)

** In my less than expert humble opine...they look reasonably pretty, wrapper-wise. And I thought that the bands on those Cohibas switched to the Indian head with the hologram smaller head in the band around about 2009 or so. Again, as everybody's suggesting...the verdict will be in the sampling of one and seeing how they grab you, flavor-wise. Some of us have had the unfortunate experience of acquiring fakes, but as they've NOT been acquired on Havana streets by young "vendors" - "Psst - hey amigo! You wanna buy some cigars? Muy cheap, bueno cheap. Cheap! Cheap" and getting those question marks in your hands...at least you probably have actual tobacco in your hands, and not rolled up newspaper under a cigar leaf packed with human hair and animal hair, feces and dirt, etc."  So, hopefully, you shouldn't be endangering your health by trying one.  We will wait for further verdict...

The bands look real, and they used the old bands until they ran out of them.  Depending on the factory they didn't run out for a long time.

How did they smoke?

[shamz84]

First thought they look alright.....nothing to worry about imho... Have you checked the serial with habanos website?

I'm no expert, but just took a couple out of the humi that were bought at an ISOM and no discernable difference.   As many have said, try them and see, but I'm thinking they're the real deal.

Update: i had one of these with a mate and they were divine.
