The Fakest Fakes EVER!
I thought you'd all get a good laugh out of this...

My brother was "gifted" these gorgeous Cohiba torpedos as a joke from our local B&M. I don't know where to begin with how bogus these are. Notice how they say "Carribean's Finest" on the band, so they must be real.

Also, for some reason they have the Habanos tissue paper on the front and the Seal of the Dominican Republic on the back??

A very nice presentation for fakes, though.

Shhhh, they're not fakes. It's the new Habanos SA attempt to break the embargo. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone.

Re: The Fakest Fakes EVER!
Actually they are not fakes... they are a real separate brand, that was trying to cash in the the Cohiba name. They might actually be worth more as a collectors item than they ever were as cigars...

Sad to say it is a real cigar. Not a real Cohiba, but they were (and still maybe) being produced.

Had a girl at a local B&M try to convince me that they were made in Cuba from the same leaf as a real Cohiba.
