Lol... I hope you enjoy them my friend...

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

Paul, perhaps you will have an experience like Mario and love the cigar. If thats the case (and I truly hope it is) smoke what you like. :tu

Fortunately places like Cigar Asylum exist to educate and inform. :l

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

Thats what I was thinking as I read every post in this thread . They don't say Cohiba anywhere . These are just as bad as the 3 Siglos line IMHOP . Every time I see a cigar like this in a shop , I stay far away .

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

I'll bet they're not all that bad. Probably a decent Handmade Bundle Quality stick that would keep someone coming back for more. I wouldn't worry about it. We've all been there, Live and learn.

Thanks for sharing with us!:ss

Actually 1982 was when Cohibas became available to the general public...

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

:tpd: and Moe ain't stupid.

I don't think he would...I know I would not, let's say I had a bad experience with a fake Cohiba. ;)

I do hope they are good cigars for you though, you'll have to do a review. :)

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

$13.50 x 25 = $337.50

That is some cash money for a bundle... They best come with a happy ending...

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

Moe ain't part of the general public...

Put your elbows on the table...

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

Why don't you find some info that is 10-15 years old by now. As the saying goes, Winners re-write history. Same way French wineries tell you they have been using French oak for barrels for centuries (absolute BS). Get your hands on some books published a while ago, you'll see that Cohiba as a brand did not exist in the '60s, simply some Lanceroes rolled specifically for Castro and his Foreign Service offices to be given out as gifts. No labels, no name back then.

If you want to believe their latest marketing BS, no issue on my end. Ain't internet great?

Anyway, carry on. I have no dog in this fight.

Oh and Pauly, Here's a tip for you along the same subject:

If you ever come across Pinar Cigars, Run away as fast as you can! A big load of BS. Probably bigger then the Cohiba's you bought. Read the link below.

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

not a problem :ss

Hahaha why, thank you. :su :tu

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

I don't want to sit here tapping the tiny keys of my netbook all night so I'm just gonna sit back from here on out and enjoy watching this. I will say two things before I go though.

These aren't fakes, they're DR's that have been debranded after production to the best of my knowledge. If these are fakes then so are many of the NC's many of smoke such as RyJ, Partagas, Punch, Brickhouse, etc.

And Pualy, smoke what ever you want man. As I said before, I had two of these and one was great. The other sucked. If I can duplicate the first one then I'd rather pay $13.50 for it at the B&M than 14.00 for a LFD half the size.

Night inmates...

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006

Maybe I'll play with this thing a bit more at your request Tom. I'm not used to it because I just got it recently and I usually have my desktop. Desktop is in for repairs though.:(

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

Glad to have you whenever you can be here, Mario. :)

Re: Has anyone seen this Cohiba? Cohiba 40 Aniversario 1966-2006
 

Apparently no one owns an MRN. The band first band pictured was not used in commercial production. The second band is also a picture from Trevor's site, but I can find to evidence to show that this band was commercially used before 1982. Cohiba was introduced to the international market at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid in 1982 in conjunction with the World Cup. At that time Avelino Lara was in charge of production at the El Laguito factory.

Prior to 1982, Cohiba banded cigars were only given as diplomatic gifts. A few others may have escaped the island but they were not available to the general public. Three sizes were made and presented in special engraved chests, the Laguito #1(lancero), corona especiales and panatela. It is generally believed that the lanceros were only personally given by Castro himself.

Sometimes its best to dig a little deeper than the first site that comes up on Google. :2

Thanks Tom! (Says Mario from his tiny, yet mighty, netbook...:D)
