The trick was played on you me thinks.

They aren't Cubans if that's what you're asking.

Oh and the obvious, I would NOT smoke those.

That was the joke. Sorry to come off as an ass. Basically the non-cubans are red dot cohibas. These are packaged to represent real Cubans but definitely are not.

Now are they real Dominican cigars...who knows. They look terrible but may smoke good.

Where did I ask if these were fake Cubans? I'm not dumb, it says Republica Dominicana on the band. I'm asking if they're fake DR Cohibas.

There is a legit NC Cohiba brand. They are often called Cohiba Red Dots. These look way, way below the standards of the NC marca and they certainly aren't even pretending to be the Cuban ones.

Yeah. I knew from the get go these couldn't be real. I told my buddy to bring me back a cigar from the DR. Not sure why you would make fake DR cigars.

I don't blame my friend, he doesn't know anything about cigars. I'll just tell him I smoked them all or something after some time. He doesn't smoke so it's not like he'll ask to smoke one with me.
