Buddy of mine picked these up on his recent cruise down to Cozumel and gave them to me. Any thoughts on if they are real or not.

    Nope. Glass top box is a giveaway, but the labels are bad as well

    They are real...cigars. Are they real Cubans? Nope.

    Now PLEASE CHECK YOUR PM.

    Definitely fake. No such thing as a glass-top box of real ISOM Cohibas.

    Fake-- sorry but try one out anyway! Or send one to the cigar mortician (DZR)

    No I didn't smoke them. I someone gave me the empty box claiming he had enjoyed some cohibas. So now I can ask him how much he enjoyed his fakes :)

    I bought the same box on a cruise to Mexico. I figured they were fake when the original $150 offer was chewed down and reduced to $15 for the 5 sticks. Bought them, smoked them, enjoyed them, but heck I was on a cruise so my sandals would have tasted good looking out over the gulf.

    If you guys saw some of the stuff that went into these "cigars" you would NEVER want to smoke one. I have seen regular hair, pubic hair, rat (could have been any kind of rodent actually) ***, banana leaves, paper, sticks, what could have possibly been a tampon string. Sometimes there was actual tobacco in there but the grade was probably below what they make cigarettes out of.

    If they came from a glass top box, for health concerns I would never smoke one.

    My 2 cents of experience, for what's it's worth.

    Your buddy's for real. That's what counts. Like the time a client joyously gave me a box of 20 year old White Owls he'd picked up just for me at an estate sale. You gotta love a guy for that. Give the man a cigar.
