Bijan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Second time getting what seems like a fake Siglo V from a Canadian brick and mortar (two different stores). Signs were pretty obvious (box code was wrong font, cigar cap looked wrong) but I wanted to see for myself. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Looks like you dissected shortly after lighting, was it pretty bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste was pretty bad, nothing redeeming. That was about as far as I could smoke it in the second picture after I ashed it. Either fake or worst Cohiba I've had in the past year (except the last potential fake). I don't know enough about dissection to know what to look for there. Just thought it might be of some interest.

JohnS Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Sorry to hear of this, @Bijan! What's worse, the Cohiba Siglo V is often the most difficult of the Linea 1492 Series to acquire! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey D Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Though the cap looks suspect, the band appears legit from your images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think $20 can get you a roll of real bands in Cuba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to know if there is micro printing on the Taino heads within the gold borders. Need a minimum of a 10x loupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a minimum of a 10x loupe I'll go check. I think I have one lying around. I am pretty sure I saw them on the label of the last questionable Siglo V I had.
