Update About Fake Cohiba Cigars

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.

USA Capitalist Company Is Peddling Fake Cohibas

An extremely dishonest U.S. company named Thompson & Co. Inc. is offering fake Cohiba cigars in the printed January 16, 2012, issue of Fortune Magazine. Their quarter-page display advertising (see above) appears in the next-to-the-last page of that issue.

We already have one dishonest capitalist company, Bacardi, selling fake Havana Club rum. Now, a second dishonest capitalist company has joined the peddling of fake Cuban products.

Making money is the most important thing for capitalists. It does not matter to them if what they are doing is immoral, illegal, unethical or criminal. The end justifies the means.

World-wide connoisseurs of rum and cigars know that the REAL Havana Club rum and Cohiba cigars are made only in the Republic of Cuba.

Thank to the efforts of George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama, who have continued the failed economic embargo/blockade of Cuban products, dishonest companies like Thompson and Bacardi peddle counterfeit products to those who belong to the “There is a sucker born every minute” crowd.

I feel very sorry for the honest Americans who continue to be screwed by the capitalist marketers of fake products.

New Cohibas and Habano Cigars to France

Sep 16th, 2011

Cuban tobacco industry authorities announced Thursday the presence of new Cohibas and Havano cigars in the 25th edition of the TFWA World Exhibition Cannes in France.

The Cuban most famous tobacco Premium type brand will take its cigars to the 2011 Limited Edition, with interesting proposals for collectors and the most demanding cigar smokers in the world.

The note by Cuban Corporacion Habanos SA said this means a lot, because the Limited Editions are highly appreciated because of their high quality, since its cigars do not habitually appear in the brand portfolio.

Precisely, the announcement includes so-called Cohiba 1966, a cigar with a 52-milimeter diameter and a 166-milimeter length as part of the commemoration because of the 45 years of existence of the brand.

The Limited Editions bring a maturing of at least two years, coming from Pinar del Rio, west of Cuba.

Cohiba 1966 is a cigar with a presentation in a Cajon BN box, containing 10 units each.

Habano cigars will be included in the edition of the Tax Free World Association Exhibition in Cannes, France, together with nearly 500 companies from the entire world.

The meeting is scheduled to be held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congress (Festival and Congress Palace) in Cannes to be started on September 19, a compulsory calendar for the companies taking part in the Duty Free system.

These products have the relevance of being linked with airline operators, cruisers and airports.

The official Habanos SA note added Cuban cigars will be present in this prestigious event, with emblematic proposals.

Included in the list, there are new Partagas Serie E Number 2, Series D Number 5, H Upmann Half Corona, and H Upmann Royal Robusto.

Other brands belonging to the 2011 Limited Edition are: Short Hoyo Pirámides de Hoyo de Monterrey y Allones Extra by tobacco twister Ramón Allones, together to new special series Montecristo Number 2 Gran Reserva 2005.
