Coworker passed this to me. Is it real? I’m leaning towards a fake.

Band looks legit, but that don't mean shit.
Tips are usually pointier, but I've seen them rounded. Not that rounded though. Hard to tell by pic.

I’m going to smoke it regardless. I just want to point out to my coworker that he got jacked (if he did).

I haven’t had a legitimate supplier of Cuban Cohibas since early 2013. The band isn’t the same as I remember, the gold on top looks too wide. Maybe I missed the change if there was one. It just didn’t look right to me. The tip has three wraps so the rolling looks legit.

Ill take a picture of the real Cohibas I have at home tonight. I get them semi-regularly mostly for new cigar smokers who only recognize that brand in regards to cubans.

No outline on the head.

Distance between squares is off slightly.

Also squares are cut off in the band.

Going to go towards fake.  Smoke at your own risk.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has people bringing them fake Cohiba's.

The cigar is in better shape than the band, could be a used band.
