So, my bro owns a bar and I stop in for some scotch. He walks over to me with a cigar in his had and I ask him what he has. So yeah, he shows me a presidente sized cigar and says 'it's a Cuban Cohiba'
I ask where he bought it and he said it comes from a supplier in Florida and it comes down to $10 a stick when he buys a sample pack.
Off we go to the front patio, and I'm sure he's being fooled. He hands me a very nice and flawlessly (in appearance) built 'bolivar.' It was a mild and sweet smoke. Quite the knuckle burner to be honest. It was a fake from initial inspection from the band's appearance. The lettering alone along the bottom of the band badge was off-center and partially cut off.
Looking at his Cohiba, there was no tell-tale holographic print on the band. The build quality, like the 'bolivar' was really nice.
At the end of the day, I decide not to break the news that he's being fooled. He seriously thinks they're the best cigars he's ever smoked. For fake cubans, I could pay less per stick than he does.
He texted me a pic of the order sheet. They claim to have Behike's for $10/each. Oh gag me with a spoon. And then they describe where the tobacco is grown. Last I checked, cohiba doesn't publicize who they obtain their tobacco from.
I attached the flyer for your enjoyment.
