Don't understand the question. The list of Habana product is readily and easily available to ANYONE who is interested in seeking out the data?
What are you asking in "truly ISOMs" ?

Thanks, I know they are from Cuba. Just trying to get an idea of which brands are truly from Cuba. If it's Habana as you say they I'll search accordingly. Thanks again.

mpingree --- almost every major domestic factory that sells here in the US ... has it's counterpart in Cuba. Most all those factories actually started in Cuba ... and factories in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras, etc., took over the names for their cigars ... because Cuba can do nothing about trademark infringement.

Partagas, Montecristo, Cohiba, Hoyo de Monterrey, etc. are just a small example.

So ... for just about every cigar that you find in Cuba, you will find its 'legal' counterpart here in the US ...

Like Robby said ... make sure it says 'Habana' somewhere on the band.

Here ... this may help you ...

... because even if they do say 'habano' on them, they could still be counterfeit.

Thanks again. I've enjoyed Cohiba's in the past but would like to try some others as well. Thanks again to all.
