Review Notes: Thumbs Down! A Friend of mine that really doesn't know cigars bought box of these things thinking that he had sruck gold. " Yellow Band Cohibas for $41" These cigars would sell for 10 times that much if they where the real thing. I had to explain to him that yellow band Chohias are made in Cuba not the Dominacan Republic. Both the box and the bands had Republic Dominacnia stamped on them. As far as how good or bad the cigar is, All I can say is these cigars are very low budget. They are equal to any gas station machine made. (Harsh,Chemical Taste,bad after taste). I have had better 25 cent cigars. They're bad not to mention chessy looking.
