Thank you for your service! It appears that your base has a regular cigar night with smokes donated by civilian aficionados. Hope you are getting the most from it.

Any how caveat emptor. Very few Cuban Cohiba sell for just $10/a stick. If you don't know with certainty, then you shouldn't buy them as as Cubans. Also, I am of the understanding this is a U.S. base. I seriously doubt a U.S. base store would be selling any contraband Cuban cigars.

If you want some help, take some close-up photos, not of just the bands, but also the bottoms of the boxes and the feet and heads of the cigars, and an open box. Give us a link to where they are posted (not on CBid) and people here in the know will likely share their respective opinions within an hour or two max.

Good advice Robert. I checked out COBB ADDER. Vintage Sandbox all the way. Not a bit of landscaping or comfort to observe. I didn't think about the US run anti Cuban rules. Maybe the base administration isn't too detail oriented with the contract Tobacco shop.

When I was in Iraq, virtually all the locally run shops sold "Cuban" cigars, especially Cohibas. I'm reasonably sure that 98.2% were fauxhibas.
