Yes Bill, I will conclude that Lee may be more of an authority than me on many subjects. Cigars is certainly one of them. However, no matter what you think, he is still wrong about me, as are you. Fortunately, this does not cause me to lose any sleep. No I am NOT jealous of Lee, as you claim. There is nobody here or anywhere else that I am jealous of. Except maybe a little jealous that you know more about Jags than me, but I bet I will live through it. As for STFU, I will refrain from saying the same to you, but I will be hoping for it, none the less.

I do think, however, that an opinion about a cigar from one who holds in his hand the exact cigar in question, and will smoke said cigar, would be far more valuable to the community as a whole, than one from someone who has not seen or tasted the cigar in question. If you dispute that, then you are truly out of your mind.

As for that cigar, I can say without reservation that it is NOT a Cohiba. And I do not think you will find anyone who would not agree with me on that. Especially if they too, saw the cigar.

As for Lee's comment:
Farm cigars, Cuban tobacco but not the real deal. I've had them, I'll pass....
... I trust that this is likely to be spot on, as to me it certainly smells cuban, at least to my limited ability to detect it.

Please try to remember that the ONLY reason I posted about this, is that I was sent one, and thought it would be proper for me to post about it, since this seller is making the claims that you have undoubtedly already read. This is not posted because I think I am so good at discerning the origin of a cigar. It is simply that I have one, where most others here do not.
