Aunthenticity Verification

The band looks pretty good, but the bottom half looks a bit too yellow. It could be the scan job.

Yeah the scan is a little off - the original looks a tad more orange-ish.

A very generous father of a friend of mine gave me a bunch of nice looking smokes this weekend, among them were these 2 lovelys, just wanted to see ya'all's opinion of them.

Thanks

Now. I'm no expert by any means. But the monte looks suspect.
The lettering type set seems off. Too thick.
If it's newer than 2006 I would say "Fugazi"
But like I said, I'm just an old broken down Irishman. What the fuck do I know.
Cohibas I know little about. I've always tried ( I repeat tried) to stay away from them
due to the conterfit issues. Just my two cents.

Cool, thanks for the input. He said he had them for like 10 years, so I don't know if that makes the difference in bands. Anyway, they were free, so I'll smoke em' either way.
Thanks

Yes, the age is extremely important and verifying authenticity is almost impossible without knowing what year the cigar was produced. Bands get redesigned.
