Real or fake?

[ar2381]

It's time for everyone's favorite game: Real or Fake? Someone gave this stick to a friend of mine.

All cigars are fake.

FAKE

 

[mwlabel]

Very fake.

 

[Jesse]

Love these threads, cause I'd never know.

Why fake?

 

[D Quintero]

a real ugly fake

 

[mwlabel]

Love these threads, cause I'd never know.

Why fake?

Ugly wrapper, incorrect cap, the bottom of the C pierces itself, and the squares are incorrect.

 

[Jesse]

Okay, I remember something about the squares but couldn't remember what it was. Should it be 3 full squares or only 2?

Also with the C, it should be open right? The outside of it shouldn't be a full circle, right?

I've seen the squares cut off on authentic because you know, Cuban QC(though extremely rare)...but not on an EL and that font is off and, oh god, that wrapper/cap.

 

[mistaforty]

Pleasantly fake tho

Why fake?

Because all cigars are fake.

So fake it's not even remotely legit. Wrong bands, wrong vitola, shitty wrapper and construction... Definately a turd.

Here is a picture I stole off of GIS of the real deal...
Edit: this is indeed a fake. My bad. I shouldn't have been so hasty looking for the first pic that looked "right."

This is the "real deal"

 

[Jesse]

Oh wow, that's a completely different label all together.

 

[JuzCallMeDee]

smoke it?

 

[stukibuilt]

Oh wow, that's a completely different label all together.

All new production Cohiba now have the same "security band"

 

[stukibuilt]

smoke it?

I wouldn't. It's not even on par with bargain NC sticks construction wise. Looks pretty nasty IMHO.

 

[sonarman]

Always fake and always mold.
