Are they barber pole cigars?

Is that release date FEB 11?

That should answer your question.

Doesn't the price alone tell you all you need to know? Don't be a total sucker.

I don't know crap about ISOM's, let alone Cohiba anniversaries, but $275 sounds like one of those "if it's too good to be true..." things.

ETA: what relation is this man to you? Do you know him well? Do you know he knows his stuff? If you don't know him well and you don't know from first hand knowledge that he knows about ISOMs, you'd be an idiot to hand over your money.

Well they could be a new release of the 35th cigar, a new Mexican Regional. You know the ones that are available where they sell the rare Nilla Hiba and the ultra rare glass top Cohibas.

I see the half-ass fakes even have the hologram sticker on them now.

Can you take a picture in detail of the hologram-affixed tax label. The top and bottom of it especially.

Fake.

IIRC, the 3th was released in a series of 500 numbered humidors packaged as below. Additional samples were given out at the 2001 Festival, but they were never packaged as pictured.
