Over them yonder hills
Found this on another forum. A huge collection of glass topped Cohibas. :whistling:

Hey Wilkey, check out those inserts! So many interesting styles. ;)

Wilkey already knows about them. That's a picture of his shop in Hermosillo you're looking at. What do you think he's been doing with his collection of fakes? He only says that he's been busy grading term papers, when in actuality, he's been making glass top boxes. :)

Kidding aside, my buddy was in Costa Rica recently and bought a 25 count glass-top box of Esplendidos. He was offered the box for $200 and he refused, but somehow the guy found out that he had visited a couple of cigar factories, so the guys started pestering him for the next 3 days. Everytime he stepped out of the hotel, the price dropped by $20. On the last day, Mythicbrew decided that for schitzengiggles and as a souvenir, he'd buy the box from the guy. The guy had dropped down to $100 by then and started giving him some sob story about blah blah. In the end, I think they settled on $15 for the box. They're not too horrendous and the bands look pretty good. Wilkey, let me know if you want a couple for your collection.
 
Same thing I saw on the cruise. The box didn't get down to $15 but it went from $300 to $40 just in the time I was in the shop!
 
Funny stuff those fauxhiba's. :laugh: I kinda like how the middle cigar has the band moved down further than the rest, sorta has a smoke me first sign on it. Smoking a $15 box of "cigars" has got to have health risks. Who the hell knows what's in there. :laugh:
 
Wow,
That's a gold mine! I see some interesting things in that spread.

Sam,
Hey, gotta make a little cash on the side. ;) I wouldn't mind one or two specimens but I'm in no hurry. I've got to finish up a few projects that are already on the table. Send them out at your leisure.

I don't get it ??? . The Cohiba's look fake because of the insert, but what about the RyJ and Bolivars?
What is it about the insert that looks suspicious to you?

Wilkey
Maybe because its missing the cohiba head?
Are you thinking of the Siglo series insert? Those aren't Siglos. Those are the 2006 Piramides ELs. ELs come with the EL "story" insert and the standard Habanos insert which is exactly what that appears to be.

Wilkey
 
I believe I saw a picture of the EL insert for these Cohibas as well. On the other forum, of course.

Aw he's just confused. He has been drooling over the thought of Cohiba ELs for far to long and gets jealous when he sees someone has a box. :sign: :sign:

Nevermind, I'm an idiot! Yeah I forget it comes with the Habanos insert AS WELL as the EL one. Forgive me.

I know what they are... but I never buy boxes of Cohibas, so I thought all cohibas had the head on the insert.
