Cuban Tobacco

[Malazan]

My Service Manager where I work has some Cuban Montecristos and Cohibas. One of the salesmen got them in the Caribbean and brought them home. The boxes say Made in Cuba. I forget that only the US has the embargo and no other country gives a crap about where the cigars come from.


So Cuban seed cigars are grown somewhere else, just using seeds taken from Cuba back in the day?

Do these Cohibas have a orange-yellow band with a non embossed chobia logo and two rows of white dots above the cohiba because they are totally legit.

Cuban seed as far as i know is exactly that cuban tobacco seeds.

Please dont spread this mis-information with such authority.

First of all it is impossible for somebody to tell by the band if a cigar is legitimate. If the band is wrong it is a dead give away, but I have seen some real bands on fake cigars.

Second, since October 1960 boxes are stamped "Hecho en Cuba" not Made in Cuba. If you have seen or own a box of Cohibas with this stamp they are fake.

Your grammar and punctuation are horrible. It's hard for anyone to read and understand your posts.

Well, in the written word it is often harder to discern "joking", and I am sure there may be some who thought your post was serious.

X2. It is hard enough to detect sarcastic inflection in proper English. This thread has potential to have lots of good information for persons wanting to learn.
Maybe less arrogance and "comedy" and more fact. cheers.

And the community at large will do what IT can to clarify any false information that MAY be interpreted as factual - especially to newer members.

We are fairly laid back here with very few rules. But the I'll do and say what I please approach really doesn't fly here. We are all guests here in the Asylum.
