Fakes?

[Trickle]

I belong to a (US) group on Facebook called cigars for warriors, that collects and sends cigars to troops abroad. These pictures turned up today in the page. My instant thought it was a fake stick. Thoughts? This is the first Cuban I have seen on the site for obvious reasons.

FAUHIBAS?

HAHA! I love the label placement. If that is how they were originally, Fake! Fake! Fake!


No doubt eagle-eye se?or stevietheboy will have some more astute observations.

Some poor soldier probably thinks he's got a ?150 cigar there.

It was the size of the thing that got me first, then the labels being the wrong way round!

dark wrapper
-looks like a Nicaraguan
-or an RA Extra
improper cohiba band
-two and a half rows of dots
-improper handwriting
-too much of distance under the 'COHIBA'
improper LE band
-need I say more? :/

Will give them kudos on making (what looks like) a double corona and match the year,..
Cohiba did have a double corona LE for '03

Edit: looks more of a 'Sublime' shape than a Double Corona.

The charity is pretty big, donating 10's of thousands of sticks. I think the others are of better quality. I know drew estates donated 20,000 cigars a few months ago.

Sounds like they get a lot of backing.
