This was a Facebook post from my Tampa shopkeep/Cuba travel companion. I hope it is enlightening...

They forgot the decimal point between the 2 and the 5.

Apparently that is the fabulous new “Super Cohiba” Don’t hate on Alex. He’s my mate and runs what has become the best shop in Tampa. He forgot the ? mark in his post. Quick review: He’ll trade me 2 of those for an E2...

I thought he went by Arturo?

As you wish. If you are in the Tampa area, check out Cutters Cigars. If you don’t find it the best shop in the area, let me know...

That would be a Cohiba C8, supposed to be a duty-free cigar:

FWIW, I think the presentation is pretty slick with the matte silver setup.  Very clean and modern.

 

They also released the Spectre last month, which retails for around $120:

Brilliant marketing.  I wonder how many Americans see the Cohiba name in a duty free shop and think they are buying Cuban Cohibas there. 🤔
