Not sure when this was written:

http://havanajournal.com/cigars/cohibas-box

Now if you believe the box in this link is real, there are only 9...... the plot thickens!

 

[cigar smoke]

There is an explanation here. First when I said that there are 11 finger joints their are actualy 10 and a small partial finger that is approx 1/16 in height. So in reality there is 10 plus a partial. In the side view of the pic from the Havana Journal where the finger joints are visible the box is cut off so the only pic there with high resolulution enough to show the exact detail is cut off. So what we really need is a high resolution pic which should shed some light on this.

I love this place!

The knowledge here is second to none, the help you can get is immense, and even though some have had varying points of view in this thread, it is clear that everybody's intent is to help.

Ernie..........I'm sure you are going through some disappointment right now but look for the bright side; you now know of a place to get the information you need to prevent you and others from experiencing the disappointment in the future.

Another bright note, I think you said they tasted awesome? At least you have a box of great tasting sticks.

Well said Brian.

If anyone has an 03, 04 or 05 box that can describe how many finger joints there are that would be helpful. I can tell you that on boxes from 1998 thru 2002 they are as I described. Maybe there was a slight change in box configuration that has gone unnoticed till now. In the past they have made changes in box configurations especialy on cabinate boxes.

Another thing I see different in the older boxes is that the Cohiba label on the inside surface of the top lid has a white border. In the picture of the 04 it is a gold gold border.

No I think you misunderstood what I was saying. The 04 boxes should have the gold border. I was only pointing out that the older boxes have white border.

Sorry Bob, I did misunderstand but, if you look at the pictures from the "real" '04 box there is no white border at all. If you look at the pictures of Ernie's box there is a white border outside of the gold border.

Oh I see what you are saying. Your right on. Devonn

Not to thread jack but I just got back from the hospital. After my last response I got severe abdominal pain and had to go to the hospital. It turned out that I have kidney stones. I am on pain medication so im a bit groggy.

Hi guys i did send the photos to the webmaster@chobia.com, they told me that these were not fakes and that the LIN box code was a closed/moved location.

Excellent. Don't let the haters rile you up, and let's get to the point. How much do you want for them?

cohiba.com is out of Germany. Try contacting habanos.com. Or a LCDH.

chobia.com does not exist.

He's a stubborn troll..... I'm trying to buy a couple from him and he won't sell! :laugh:

 

[mmburtch]

It's a testament to the intelligence of the counterfeiters that after a couple of threads like this, the packaging is still so close but so far off.

GB on the domain?

The maker of those cigars "Chobia" insist they are 100% legitimate. They have a small factory located in Cuba, Iowa.

Yeah, I'm still waiting to hear back from them on bridge they were looking to sell.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here Brian, but I will not stand idly by and let you besmirch the good name of Iowa like this. :laugh: Oh, and I've been to Jamaica, Iowa and it is a great deal less than the real thing, so I can only imagine what Cuba, Iowa is like. :sign:
