So which sticks are truly ISOM's ?

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" ?

Is there an echo in here? LOL. X

the ones that say habana on them...

... and more specifically, the ones that are from Cuba ...

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.

Oops ... meant to say 'habana' ... if they say habano, they are the 'domestic' varitey ... LOL!

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