BarItemsPlus1 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I read a post the other day whereby a member was asking about genuine Cohibas and how to tell the difference. Have a look @ the pics below and you will see the difference... The first pic shows the fakes and the 2nd pic is the Genuine thing!! A few notes... 1. Cohiba NEVER released a clear top box!! 2. Check the Bands...notice the quality difference between the two. 3. Canada is notorious for Fakes!! Here is a link so you can browse some more large, high resolution pics... http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/baritemsplus/Cigars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronHead Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Just a note, there isn't a brand of cigars released by Habanos S.A. that comes in a clear topped box. Any time you see that, they're most definitely fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgorman Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I know it would be counter productive - but it'd be a real gas if HSA actually made a limited edition glass top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBOmarc Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Once you see an authentic next to a fake, you will not even need to light it up to tell the difference. I had such a chance last Sunday night. I don't think I will be fooled again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripvanfan Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Marc, There are some very good fakes out there. It is more important now than ever to find great sources to make absolute sure you are getting the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
