what is this cigar?

I'm not sure who makes the Cohiba "Knockoff" Or "Yellow Label." They are outlawed in the US because General Cigar makes Dominican Cohiba "Red Dot" Cohiba website at General Cigar
They, General Cigar, sued the "Other" Cohiba maunfacturer for copyright infringement and won.
The "Knockoff" Cohiba company was told to stop making the Yellow Label Cohibas but, they were allowed to sell off all remaining stock of their brand. Thus the "Illegal Cohiba"
Eventually you will stop seeing the yellow label stuff at your local shop. But if you like them smoke'em while you can.

And No they are nothing like the Cuban Cohibas.
