It seems Rah wanted some revenge, so he sent me a Mark Twain box chalk-full-O-goodies!

Check out the Cohiba on top, I found it......"interesting" as I have not seen a Dominican Cohiba with a band like that before. If you look closely the band has 4 round dots, not the typical 5 small squares. As well as recent Dominican Cohiba's forgo the black/yellow band altogether......The glue on the back side of the band was weird as well...It was not glued all the way to the end of the band.i.e. there was a flap of unglued band band on the back...And the cello was loose....



On the other hand the Joya "Fuerte" was nice, I'll have to pick up box of these. And the Trinidad was nice too....

When I was in Cali a several months back I saw some JUST like this. I bought 2 at around $10 a pop because the owner claimed they were Habana. I knew they were not but 10 for a cohiba is about right anyway and I needed some vegas roadtrip smokes. They were not bad, but not real.

There's another company besides General Cigar (makers of the "red dot" Cohibas) that produces DR Cohibas, "Montekristi" or something like that (I'm serious that's the name of the company) which have yellow bands and aren't supposed to be sold off of the island. It could be one of those. Or, it could be yet another manufacturer or vendor slapping that name on a cigar just to sell it. As for the cello, meh, don't worry about it - they probably just ran out of the right size, which happens sometimes at the smaller places.

No such thing as a box of JdN Fuerte. They are mazo only. Quite possibly the best $2 full-bodied bundle cigar out there.

HA HA Just noticed this pic. See all those dingle berries so busy bashing me and MARK TWAIN sticks they never took the time to simply open the lid. Now I have to find all those other members besides yourself and Gimbel that I have "pulled the rug out from under" and leached cigars off of with no return gesture at all.

I got that COHIBA in a dying smoke shop. Place used to boom with business and offer everything. Now the best thing they got going is being able to pay your utility bills their. Just had one slide door humi left working with about 10 boxes filled with the odds and ends of what remains of 3 big humidor cases. Never smoked a COHIBA. All I know it was probably sitting their for years, was the last one, and was thrown in a variety box with other left over singles. He actually had one, nearly full, and new looking, box of regular green/gold labeled Macanudo's. I said Na. If I never like 'em..

Got more Joya's at a real smoke shop. They are good. I'm still putting together your MARK TWAIN No.2 box. Have a good weekend.

The world is waiting to know??? The only sure way is to torch the turd and you declare, is it debunk, or does it make the grade. Only you would know for certain. And I can head back their next time I am in Bellevue and bust the old shysters balls with a hammer for labeling bogus sticks, if it is bogus. What's the word?

They won't let me post a pic here because I am a pic posting virgin. Used the phrase, MOTHERFU^KER' in it as well so I don't think it will get the stamp of approval. Anyway, this COHIBA could be as fake as my grandma's teeth. Didn't see any DOT referrals on line when it comes to labels. Only way I could find to check is to see if the stick is triple capped. If not, then it is bogus. The stick has been sitting their for years. Humidor looks like home made book shelve inside a generic sliding glass door showcase. Since it was mixed in with other scrap it has probably been handled more then the owners little thang between his legs. Next time I am their I will visit him with any proof I can find, and see if he wants to refund my $4.50 or give me a 'real' COHIBA. Would ask you to send it back but it wouldn't be worth the postage. SUMBITCH!! Give it a try. If unsmokeable then just pitch the bitch.

I feel bad you have scrap like that to smoke after I just finished a sweet PADILLA MIAMI Robusto. Well, not really.

SO SO SORRY, BOSS!
