Re: Fake Cohibas at Disney Land?

That is a Dominican Montichristi Cohiba. It was in fact the first NC sold in the US bearing the Cohiba name. The company got into a trademark dispute with General Cigar and lost, clearing the way for GC's Red Dot Cohiba to come to market. Montichristi continues to sell the yellow band Cohiba outside of the USA, legally. I think alot of them still end up here though, as I've seen them for sale at more than one B&M recently.

Now, if there are any legit General Cigar Cohibas with the yellow bands on them, I'd like to know where since that would be an ultra rare find

I have about half of box of them. Bought them about 3 years ago.

Interesting. I too have seen them at the B&M (I don't think they sell them, really, because they keep them outside the walk-in in the open, haha).
