I was in Vegas for a quick visit. My dear friend who retired there a couple of years ago was so proud to gift me a "Cuban" Cohiba. When he handed me the stick, I was disappointed for him. I was going to crack a joke that, "I didn't know they made Maduro Esplendido! But I just decided to lay it straight. He was taken for 5 sticks at $20 a pop. He got it from a local B&M (I can't remember the name) whose owner "trusted him enough to show his "other" stash. After I told my friend the bad new, he quipped that maybe the stick will only be half as bad.

The physical evidence:
No triple cap
Embossed band looked real but paper felt thinner and we had no real band for comparing and contrasting
Wrapper color way off

But instead of smoking it, I decided to surgically satisfied my curiosity at last night weekly Herf.. Johnny D assisted me with the photos but they were taken after the dissection.
