Chinese fake Cohiba factory videos

[benfica_77]

They even used the Spanish blue seal to make it look more legit. Beware....

The local goverment is probably aware of this scam and the top guy gets his cut.

Footmade Cohiba, my favorite.

They'll be easy to spot as they'll be the only Cohiba I could afford!

[BrightonCorgi]

So, who is going to buy Cohiba's from the Chinese based web retailer?

[SCgarman]

So they are making counterfeit Rolex and other Swiss watches, counterfeit Gibson guitars, counterfeit Hermes and LV handbags and now perfecting counterfeit Cohiba cigars. I'd like to know where and what tobacco is procured for making these! I don't buy Cohiba and never have, but lots of ignorant buyers are gonna get burned royally.

I wonder how the tone is on those fake Gibsons

Spanish Seal on wrong place.

Thanks for sharing that. I see those videos doing the rounds on Facebook. Good looking fakes alright.

Spain has updated its seal. It's not blue anymore and there are no holograms on it. It's just a matter if time though until that gets faked too.

I have some of the new seals but can't get pictures at the moment. Just tested Covid positive this morning and isolating in my office for the week.

Thanks! Not too bad. A bit tired and aches but ok. My wife very kindly dropped a box up to my office door. These are wide Churchills I bought in Spain last month. No blue seal on this though plenty of those still around. This is on a box of wide Churchills. The silver edge has holographic writing, I can’t quite read what it says.

       That earlier statement is a good question: what tobacco's are they using to pass for Cohibas???

China grows a hell of a lot of cigar tobacco but also imports large quantities  from the DR.

Maybe they will relieve some supply constraints. Most people arent detectives or aficionados. Should be able to dupe a lot in the Asian market.

[Nevrknow]

Damn I hope not. Just got a new neighbor that got some from the Virgin Islands. Oh God, here we go again! 😂

[LordAnubis]

How do we know this is a chinese fake? seems liek propoganda to me. Is it not called El LEGido? No self respecting chinese factory worker would do that crap a job, or waste tabacalera sticker like that.... i call faaaaaake!

Well it appears they won't have any real difficulties moving them on. Maybe then they can buy some tables and benches so they don't have to package on the floor.
