Why not smoke one and let us know what you think? Seventeen years and you still can't tell? |

It really has a smooth draw, medium flavored, and had a slight sweet taste. I really liked it. I'm not a cigar buff kind of guy, so I didn't look into it. A buddy of mine use to fly state diplomat charters to cuba, so I just thought they were real cohibas. Either way I like them. After 17 years,they really held up great. |

There are in fact, fake Cubans that are pretty decent. Unfortunately, there are also fakes that are absolutely unsmokeable. I’ve had both kinds |

They are not real Cohiba but may still be real Cuban tobacco. Your buddy most likely bought from a street vendor. Smoke 'em and enjoy. |
