Hello, new guy here. Bought some cohibas here, and they came in with "CI Cohiba" on them. Are these the real deal? or are they knock-offs? I don't recall see this on others I bought elsewhere. Thanks for the info. Steve

Real deal as in Cuban? No. Knock-offs? Don't know.

If you like them it shouldn't matter what's on the label.

Greetings new guy... i can tell from you're handle you're a hippie that likes to flick people's junk... not cool man, not cool...

You won't get far in here with a name like that... you need something less confrontational with more mystique...

how's peterpopper sound? Same basic message, less of a violent tone... i know it's not great, but it's just gotta hold til cam comes back and rights the ship...

Who cares about your handle, the question that 98.2% of the CBid populace want to know is: Pancakes or waffles?

This is a good place, hope you stick around.

Well, back to the OP question. CI could be Cuban Import

Or maybe Cigar International

Either way, chances are it will have more to do with size and shape of the stick than the tobacco itself. I imagine that CI contracted Cohiba to make a a run for them

BTW, Iโ€™m a FNG too. Sort of. Anyway, Iโ€™m just another smartass on here. ๐Ÿคฆ

Apart from them not being cuban they may be different than the ones you'll find everywhere else. I enjoyed the Cohiba Puro Dominicana back in the day, but unfortunately they were discontinued by General Cigar...

A few months later this blend was resurrected as a CI exclusive. Same bands, but same cigar?

So maybe a CI Cohiba is different from all the other Cohibas on the market. Makes one wonder...

I think they are fakes.. certainly not the ones you get from thomas, jr or the others. Ive ordered these from all over.. always been the same.. i expect thats why they sell here for $3 .. crap.. I bought like 70 of them.. live and learn. I smoke about 6 a day.. I'll smoke them. However the box olivas I got look legit.. has the import stamp on them as well. I bought others..Have not received them yet.. will slow it way down on the buying.. thanks all!

Thomas jr is the best place for genuine Cuban cohibas.

Only other places that's close is Mexican beaches.
