According to information published in the February 2012 issue of the knowledgeable and respected Cigar Aficionado Magazine, the fake Cohibas that Thompson is peddling out of a Post Office Box, are manufactured in the Dominican Republic. If you go to pages 122 and 123 you will find the coronas cigars.
The real Cohiba, from Cuba, scores at the top of the rating chart with an incredible score of 94. Anything with a 90 or above rating is excellent. (If a cigar ever achieves a rating of 100, it will probably be rolled, by hand, in Cuba).
The price for a real Cuban Cohiba in the United Kingdom is £14.27 British Pounds. At Friday's exchange rate of $1.5489 per £ (as published in the Wall Street Journal), the price in U.S. dollars for a real Cohiba is $22.10.
In contrast, the fake and lower quality Cohibas counterfeited in the Dominican Republic, are given a rating of only 88, and you can buy one for $14.79 U.S. Dollars.
In the corona gordas section (page 124), a real Cuban Cohiba 1966 Edición Limitada 2011 will cost you £38.70 in the United Kingdom, or $59.95 in U.S. Dollars, based on the same exchange rate. This Cuban cigar also rates a 94.
The cigar bands for the real and counterfeit Cohibas are noticeably very different. Artistically, the Cuban made cigar bands for the Cohibas are far superior.
Because of the continued hatred toward Cuba by the American imperialists, under the leadership of both George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama, if you want to purchase a real Cohiba cigar, you will have to travel to a civilized nation that does not have a failed embargo against quality Cuban products. You can't smoke a U.S.-made drone aircraft.
