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

6 rows of dots would be the first thing that would make me say "huh"...

With all this confusion I'm really curious so I'll go over there right now and have a word with this guy. I'll post when I get back.

The authentic 35th anniversary Cohiba band. Notice the 6 rows of dots


googling "Cohiba 40th anniversary" yields this image


Just because they are labeled as Dominican, and dont say "Cohiba" on them dosesnt make them "non-fake"

If there are more like the first one I smoked then who really cares if they're fake?

So would you be happy with a fake Rolex that you paid a premium for just because it told time properly?

It might be a good cigar, but the intent to deceive is there, and I would really care if they were fake.

For the record I agree with Kool Moe D... I wouldn't buy or smoke these...

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.

Whoops, missed this part of your post on the first read.

That was my thought, that they might have been from them (Montikristi or whatever their name was). I never followed what happened to the company, so I didn't know that they were ordered off the market.

The only Cuban Cohiba 40th Anniversary cigar is indeed the Behike which measures 7 1/2 x 52 and is extremely expensive so I'm pretty sure that if this cigar is being sold as a genuine Cuban, it's fake. The Behike band also does not look anything like that and instead, is the traditional Cohiba band with an additional white and gold band underneath it that reads "Behike" and has a limited edition number below that.

Does the band on your cigar indicate that the cigar is Cuban? If yes, it's a fake Cuban cigar. If not, it may be a non-Cuban cigar produced strictly to cash in on Cohiba's 40th anniversary.

How much did they cost?

They were $13.50 on "sale"

Just got back and got the pictures. There were different varieties, the one pictured then a different box said Siglo VII and I forgot what the other ones said but it was similar. The guy essentially said "you've never seen the band because it's the 40th anniversary, and that this is indiana noone would dare." whatever that means. Take a look at the new pictures of the box i just posted here:

No worries. We have all paid too much for a cigar that we liked or didn't like.


And like I said before, I don't like perpetuating fakes and the black market.

Tyler and Tim, this is the one that us FOG's (Fine Older Gentelman) still remember....before General threatened to sue them or put them out of business!

A local B&M has boxes and boxes of those cigars. They even come in glass tops.

As to the OP, I am sorry I have never seen those before.
