    Bolivar Coronas

    I have somethings to add here. Besides the band, triple cap & the Habanos sticker that mentioned above look suspicious. Non of my Bolivars, including Partagas, are "Hand Made" but they are all "Made By Hand". If you look at the side of the box you will see the words "Hand Made" & "Hecho A...

    Has anyone tried this cutter?

    I have one. It is a very sharp & elegant cigar punch. The good thing is that it has two punches which can be used for different size cigar. The only problem I have with this punch is that if you close & tighten the punch too much you may need a plier to unscrew it due to its smooth casing...

    Can somebody help with a code?

    Let me give it a try: OLSUCFGOS (OL/SU - CFG/OS): 05/98 - CFG/09 (May 98, Cienfuegos Region). Couldn't figure out the last "09" means? May be it is a factory number. Hope my guess is correct.

    Keeping Cigars cool this summer

    Hi Jason, Yup, I know I am lucky so far. But storing cigars at 70F over here is just too costly. I couldn't able to turn on AC 247. Electrical bill will shoot up to the sky. Not a pratical way. Some how there is another way to keep those bettle at bay is to use quarantine method. Everytime you...

    Question on Aged Cigars

    In my opinion, I think cigars do age in its own box. A good vendor keeps its cigars in controlled environment, 20C & 70% RH, for storage. Normally I will choose the cigars with oldest box code unless quality of that production year/month is questionable. IMHO.

    It's the thought that counts

    Ha Ha, definately not. But both cigars are hand made product so irregularity does happen, especially Cuban. Sometimes my box of genuine Cuban has sticks look slightly different from each other. No sweat. I think the only one should know better is Eshaw99 when he smokes the "ugly" stick. :)

    It's the thought that counts

    Hi guys, May be I am the odd one here. I wouldn't say the one on the right is fake. It looks genuine to me. Like Cohiba, Montecristo changed its band design few years back. The one on the right is old designed band, and the left one is new. IMHO. Cross you fingers, Eshaw99. Your friend may...

    Cohiba : fake or real?

    Yup. The stick that Wilkey sent to you is a fake. :laugh: Since you are so worry, why don't you send it over here and let me try it. ;) No worries, Zeebra. Let the real one sit in your humidor for a month and burn it up. Try the fake ones first then the real. I am sure you will see the...

    Fake Cohiba

    Hi Smithers, What you have is a Cohiba with old style band. The ones you see in the recent posts are new style band, which is introduced by Cohiba several years back. Old style has 4 rows of dots, new one has 5 rows. I really couldn't make any conclusion from the picture you posted, just not...

    It's a Cohiba (I think) but which one?

    Your Cohiba looks real to me. From the ring size & lenght you mentioned, I think it should be Siglo VI. Very good smoke. :thumbs:

    Cohiba : fake or real?

    Ha Ha, Ironworker, you are right. LCDH & Havana Club are only 10 minutes drive from my home. But they sell those Cubans soooo expensive. An Esplendidos will cost me US$ 30-40 a poop. :angry2: I rather get it from online stores, 50% cheaper ;) . I did offer to trade my Cuban with CP members a...
